The new relationship comes a few months after Denise's split from her fiancé Eddie Boxshall.
Reports circulated that Eddie had been messaging another woman, and Denise also told OK! magazine that she had ‘too much self respect’ to stay in the relationship.
She said: "I’ve got too much self-respect and I just can’t live like that.
"I felt like, in a few selfish moments, he’d ruined it. I couldn’t imagine it ever feeling the same."
Denise went on to say that opening up about the break-up in her book was ‘cathartic’.
"Some of it is difficult to talk about but I think that after writing it and now it’s out there, I feel better," she said, adding: "It gave me an opportunity to really appreciate some of the things that I’ve done."
