Denise van Outen’s love-cheat fiancé Eddie Boxshall is said to be desperate to win her back after his phone sex and date affair antics were exposed.

TV icon Denise, 47, has been left devastated and humiliated by commodities trader Eddie after it was discovered he had been engaging in raunchy communications with women he met online, and even had secret dates with one woman.

While Denise has ended the seven-year romance, 47-year-old Eddie is said to be hopeful he can turn the situation around and win the TV star back.

Having been kicked out of the house they shared – which features on Celebrity Gogglebox – Eddie is said to be staying at a friend’s pub nearby and is plotting to launch a campaign to recapture Denise’s broken heart.

A source told The Sun on Sunday: “Eddie is convinced he can win Denise back and isn’t willing to throw away all of their memories together. He’s pulling out all the stops to save their relationship.

“He feels terrible and pained that she’s hurting. He is desperate to gain her forgiveness and knows there are a lot of deep-rooted feelings involved. He’s not willing to accept it’s over for good.

“He thinks they’re the perfect match for each other and knows he was foolish. Eddie is keeping his distance for now and wants to give her the space and respect she needs.”

Denise is said to be determined to put the relationship behind her, however – so Eddie may well have an impossible task on his hands.

Last week it was revealed that Denise had called off their engagement after discovering Eddie’s apparent betrayal.

A source close to the couple said on Friday: “Denise is both furiously angry and utterly heartbroken. It’s the very last thing she expected to happen after she had been so happy with Eddie.

“She thought this was for ever. But while she has been out at work he’s been sat in her home betraying her trust.”

Denise and Eddie first started dating back in 2014 after being introduced to each other on a blind date set up by TV presenter Zoe Hardman.

Their romance went from strength to strength, with the pair moving in together in 2019 and began discussing wedding plans the year after.

While Denise and Eddie were never officially engaged, they made it clear to all that they intended to tie-the-knot and were only held back by Covid lockdown rules.

Denise said last year: “We’re not engaged but we are preparing to get married. It will definitely happen but we’re not in a rush.”

But sadly, the couple’s moment walking down the aisle looks set never to take place as this month they announced their shock split.

Denise was previously married to singer and actor Lee Mead, 40 – tying the know in 2009, splitting in 2013, and finalising their divorce in 2015.

The couple share an 11-year-old daughter named Betsy.

Denise was previously engaged to Jamiroquai singer Jay Kay, 52 – with the Virtual Insanity singer popping the question in after initially beginning dating in 1998, but they split in 2001 before the wedding ever happened.
