Denise Van OutenDenise van Outen has said she’s glad she’s moved back to the UK from Los Angeles because she couldn’t be bothered to keep up with the constant quest to be thinner and more highly polished than the next girl.

Denise spent just over a year in California, presenting Grease: You’re the One that I Want! but returned to the UK to be a judge on similar talent show Any Dream Will Do! then take her own stint in the West End in Rent.

She told the Sunday Mirror recently: “I think the women out there look weird. They all go to the same nose shop and end up having the same features. I have friends who have Botox and fillers and they’re only about 24 - I tell them they’re nuts.”

“The LA look is too exhausting for me. Look at Victoria Beckham, I don’t have time to be that polished. It’s really refreshing to be back home; I’ve got dark roots and I’ve not washed my hair for two days.”

She added that she’s also glad to have regained a bit of weight: “I shrunk when I was in Rent and I’m putting it back on, which is good. My boobs had gone and now they’re back.”

“I’m much happier being a size 10. When I go down to size 8 my boobs go a funny shape. I like them to be big and round, and when I’m thin all the fat goes out of them.”
