Denise Van Outen's ex Eddie Boxshall makes jibe after she breaks her silence on split

Denise Van Outen's ex Eddie Boxshall has made a jibe at her after she spoke out about their split.

Hitting out at the blonde beauty, Eddie has taken to Instagram after Denise herself broke her silence.

Denise appeared on BBC Radio 2 this morning, where she opened up for the first time about her split from Eddie.

Speaking on the show she said: "The one thing I’m really proud of myself for is I do know when to walk away and I don’t like to be taken advantage of.

"Sometimes it’s been to the detriment of my own career or in my own relationships, but I just feel like it’s really important as a woman to have self-worth and self-respect.

The loved-up couple appeared on Gogglebox multiple times while they were together (Instagram)

"I’ve always tried to maintain that in anything that I do in life, generally. More so now as a mother because I feel like I’m a role model and I’ve got to set an example."

Denise also took to Instagram to notify her fans that she had been on air with Zoe Ball.

Fans who had tuned into the interview were quick to comment below, with one writing: "Coming out of a relationship that’s not quite right is the most freeing feeling ever. You are better on your own than in something that’s not right it pulls you down eats at you!

"So many people are in the wrong relationships putting up with it because they can’t be on their own…waste of a life that!!! Well done I got a lot of inspiration from you today."

Soon after Denise appeared on air on BBC Radio 2, Eddie shared a quote on Instagram which read: "Love is more important than money!"

One person commented below: "That’s what I keep saying so so true no money ain’t anything if you don’t have love."

Another added: "Indeed it is..... much of the world we live in is focused on greed, power, money & selfishness unfortunately."
