"I'm 34 this year and more aware of looking after my skin than ever, I use Dermalogica Power Rich, £110, (0800 591818 or dermalogica.com for stockists) around my eyes and lips and it really moisturises and soaks in. But because of the hours I'm keeping now – getting up at 4am to do the Capital Breakfast Show with Johnny Vaughan – my skin's started to suffer with dry breakouts. So at night, after a bath, I use Organic Apoteke Turkish Rose Body Hydrate Oil, £27.95 (01234 320050 or organicapoteke.com for stockists) which seems to help healing."

"During the day I have to use SPF as I've started to get hyperpigmentation [dark patches] which I've been told is caused by the Pill. My favourite protector is Murad Essential C Day Moisture SPF15, £41 (0800 7456 2273 or muraduk.com for stockists). And then on top for a hint of healthy colour I apply Sisley Soleil Sans Soleil Self Tan Spray For The Body, £47 (0207 591 6380 or sisley-cosmetics.co.uk for stockists) – it's my favourite because it looks natural all-year-round and doesn't seem horribly OTT in the winter."

Denise says she's "usually pretty good" about caring for her skin and has a diligent routine before bed "apart from the odd drunken night", although she admits that's pretty rare nowadays – not surprising with those early mornings and with actor boyfriend, Lee Mead, waiting indoors for her. The only dirt we could find on Denise is that she used to have a crush on Des O'Connor – and that she's been secretly appearing on the Daz Liquitabs TV ads as a mystery voice with viewers guessing her identity for a £10,000 prize.
