Denise Van Outen dating Lee Mead

13 December 2007 - Denise Van Outen is reportedly dating 'Any Dream Will Do' winner Lee Mead.

The sexy TV presenter met the singer - who is currently wowing fans in 'Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat' - on the hit BBC show where Denise was a judge.

Sources claims there were sparks between the pair during filming but both held back on their feelings as they were in relationships.

They have both since split with their partners and are now said to be smitten with one another.

One insider told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "There was a real spark on the show. They liked each other but neither was available.

"After they finished filming in June they lost touch for a while.

"But after Lee split up with his girlfriend he set his sights on Denise. He called her and asked her out to dinner.

"It went really well. It's pretty serious considering it's only been going on for four weeks."

Lee split with his lover of three years, Kerry Stammers, in October, while Denise - who is currently starring in West End show 'Rent' - ended her relationship with actor James lance in September.
