Denise Van Outen has opened up about the major surgery she had after a 'horrific' injury during her time on Strictly Come Dancing. The actress and presenter was seen chatting to Lorraine Kelly on her self-titled ITV show on Thursday on the day she released her new autobiography, A Bit of Me: From Basildon to Broadway, and back.
It comes as Denise's personal life has already been hitting the press following her surprise split from fiance Eddie Boxshall late last year. During her chat with Lorraine, the TV host, 62, brought up Denise's time on Strictly, where she was runner-up in the tenth series of the BBC One dancing show, after she writes in the book about an injury which saw surgeons having to take out her voice box.
"I had no idea until I read the book, when you did Strictly Come Dancing... I knew you had a fall but it was horrific," Lorraine said. "The operation they had to do on your back, they had to go through your throat into your spine".
