Denise Van Outen to appear on The Big Breakfast to hand over presenting reins

Denise Van Outen is set to make a sensational return to The Big Breakfast house - albeit briefly - when the Channel 4 show returns for a regular slot on our screens for the first time in more than 20 years.

The 48-year-old, who presented the show in its heyday alongside Johnny Vaughan between 1997 and 2001, will officially hand over the reins to new presenters Mo Gilligan and AJ Odudu this weekend.

Ahead of her emotional return, the star told the Sun : "I spent some of the happiest times of my career on The Big Breakfast and I’m so excited to be popping in to see the brilliant AJ and Mo for the first show of the new series. I can’t think of a better way to kick-start my Saturday."
