Viewers of Channel 4's popular weekend programme Sunday Brunch were left utterly amazed by the youthful appearance of guest Denise Van Outen during the broadcast on January 25. The television personality, who rose to prominence in the 1990s, sparked a flurry of comments from fans who insisted she "hasn't aged" a day.
Praise for Timeless Looks
As Denise Van Outen joined hosts Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer on the show, many audience members took to social media to express their admiration for her ageless beauty. One viewer remarked on X, formerly known as Twitter, "Do love Denise, I mean, she hasn't aged. Used to watch Big Breakfast before school." This sentiment was echoed by numerous others who felt transported back to her early career days.
Nostalgic Reactions Flood Social Media
Another fan posted enthusiastically, "I've just found out my teenage crush is still my adult crush! Denise van Outen is on Sunday Brunch. I've been transported back to the 90s and The Big Breakfast. She hasn't changed at all." Additional comments highlighted her enduring appeal, with one noting she is "elite level" and "the greatest out of Essex," while others simply stated she should "grow old gracefully" or is "still a darling."
Chaotic Moments Overshadowed by Admiration
The episode itself was not without its moments of disorder, as a wobbly table caused some commotion among the guests, including fellow celebrities Harry Hill, Philip Glenister, Mark Addy, and The Molotovs. Denise was seen grabbing her drink and cautioning, "Oh, careful, mind the tea!" as everything shook. Comedian Harry Hill humorously pointed out the issue, joking about budget cuts.
Unexpected Language Incident
During the table incident, it appears an accidental swear word was uttered, prompting host Tim Lovejoy to apologise to viewers at home. He stated, "Apologies for any language that you heard there. Apparently, there was some poor language used." Despite this brief hiccup, the focus remained largely on Denise Van Outen's striking presence.
Mixed Reviews on Interview Content
Not all feedback was uniformly positive regarding the segment. One viewer expressed a degree of weariness, claiming, "More or less the same old questions being put to Denise Van Outen every time she comes on." This critique, however, was overshadowed by the overwhelming praise for her appearance and nostalgic charm.
The broadcast served as a reminder of Denise Van Outen's lasting impact on British television, from her early days on The Big Breakfast and Something For The Weekend to her current engagements. Sunday Brunch continues to air on Channel 4, bringing a mix of celebrity interviews and light-hearted chaos to weekend mornings.
