Denise Van Outen's ex-fiancé desperate to win her back

Denise Van Outen's ex-fiancé is desperate to win her back.

The former 'Big Breakfast' star - who has 11-year-old daughter Betsy with ex-husband Lee Mead - recently confirmed she and Eddie Boxshall have parted ways after more than seven years together, but it has been reported that he hopes they can rekindle their romance.

A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "Eddie is convinced he can win Denise back and isn’t willing to throw away all of their memories together. He’s pulling out all the stops to save their relationship.

“He feels terrible and pained that she’s hurting. He is desperate to gain her forgiveness and knows there are a lot of deep-rooted feelings involved. He’s not willing to accept it’s over for good.

“He thinks they’re the perfect match for each other and knows he was foolish. Eddie is keeping his distance for now and wants to give her the space and respect she needs. But he’s staying nearby in the hope he might be allowed back. He’s staying in a room above a mate’s pub.”

However, sources close to Denise say she has "made up her mind", is "determined to move on and very unlikely" to take him back.

Denise, 47, announced the split in an Instagram post, writing: "Over the past couple of months, there has been much speculation regarding my relationship with Eddie.

"It saddens me to confirm that we are no longer a couple. I had to make the difficult decision not to continue in our relationship.

"I will always treasure the good times we spent together, and the memories made.

"We ask that you please respect our privacy at this time, especially for our children [heart emoji. (sic)"
