Denise causing a splash in Malibu

Mid-90s TV stalwart Denise Van Outen is desperate to make a splash in the US and quite literally has, by getting into her bikini and heading to the beach.

The 33-year-old ex Big Breakfast presenter has painstakingly maintained her curvy yet svelte figure and looked simply sensational in a green leopard print bikini on the Malibu coast as she had a dip in its cool waters.

Denise has had a fluctuating weight since coming to the US. At one point she hit size zero but she said she "looked awful" and is now happy to be a size ten.

Discussing her fears about cosmetic surgery with Red magazine, she said: "The thought of having massive surgery scares me quite a lot.

"I'm actually really lucky because I've got a bust and I've never felt the need to have a boob job before. But if I have children and they start to sag then yes, I will most probably have something done."

Denise has been working as a judge on the TV series Any Dream Will Do.
