Denise Van Outen recreates the Fame look

Former breakfast TV star Denise Van Outen has donned her leg warmers to recreate scenes from the classic film Fame to promote movie channel TCM's Capture Your Classic event. The star says her new look is down to scoffing cake at her wedding to Joseph star Lee Mead

29 June 2009

DENISE Van Outen shows off her new curvy figure, which she puts down to Big Breakfasts - but she's had some people asking if she is expecting a baby.

The former breakfast TV presenter said last week people had asked her if she was pregnant after her honeymoon in April, where she piled on half a stone.

The 35-year-old has always been stick thin, but in these new pictures where she poses Fame-style in a leotard and on a New York taxi, she looks more woman than waif.

Last week she scotched reports she and new husband, Joseph And The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat star Lee Mead, were expecting, and said: "To conceive, you're not meant to be stressed! I was on antibiotics last week and not drinking.

"Even the air stewards on my flight to New York were asking me when it was due. It's just too much pressure, we want to enjoy married life."

"I let myself go, ate everything in sight and drank cocktails at sunset"

Of her Maldives honeymoon the Chicago star said: "I let myself go, ate everything in sight and drank cocktails at sunset. But that's what it should be. You can't have a wedding and not eat the cake."

Van Outen dressed up for her new look for film channel TCM, which is conducting a nationwide competition that invites members of the public to recreate iconic scenes from film history and then upload them to the channel's website.

The best entry gets an all-expenses paid trip to LA and Van Outen set a high benchmark this week by recreating the look of film Fame in these snaps.

On 12 July in Shoreditch, London, Van Outen will be starring in a film tribute to the classic movie and fans will have the chance to take part.
