The TV star completed her tropical-inspired ensemble with a beautifully matte face of makeup. She highlighted her gorgeous cheekbones with a dusting of highlighter and accentuated her lips with a polished slick of dusty rose lipstick. Perfection!

Prior to finding love with Jimmy, Denise enjoyed a seven-year relationship with her ex-fiancé Eddie Boxshall. At the time of their separation, Denise wrote a statement which read: "Over the past couple of months, there has been much speculation regarding my relationship with Eddie.

"It saddens me to confirm that we are no longer a couple. I had to make the difficult decision not to continue in our relationship.

"I will always treasure the good times we spent together, and the memories made. We ask that you please respect our privacy at this time, especially for our children."
