Denise Van Outen is currently living her best life over in Dubai, as she catches some winter sun alongside her new boyfriend Jimmy Barba.
The Celebrity Gogglebox star, 48, and the property developer looked blissfully happy as they enjoyed a stroll on the beach together amid their festive getaway amid celebrating their first Christmas together.
Mum-of-one Denise showed off her toned figure in a patterned light-blue one piece swimsuit, while boyfriend Jimmy donned a pair of swim shorts as he walked hand-in-hand with his partner.
The TV star completed her look with a pair of dark shades and a simple bangles while she got some sand between her toes during the walk along the beach, as her romance with Jimmy continues to go from strength to strength.
In addition to their romantic stroll, the blissfully happy couple enjoyed a dip in the sea during their latest trip abroad, after spending their first Christmas together in England with Denise's family and her young daughter.
The TV star was also snapped relaxing on a sun lounger during the trip to the beach, as she covered up her toned physique with a stylish matching kaftan.
Denise and Jimmy went public with their romance earlier this year, following the former Big Breakfast presenter's shock split from fiancé Eddie Boxshall at the very start of 2022.
The mum-of-one detailed the break-up in her autobiography A Bit Of Me: From Basildon To Broadway And Back. She said she had noticed "red flags" after finding photos of a woman's breasts on his iPad.
She wrote: "Among photos was a screenshot…of a woman’s breasts – and they definitely weren’t mine! Also, there was a flirty text exchange between Eddie and this woman, which, of course, set off alarm bells."
Denise said she also found Instagram messages alluding to phone sex with a third woman.
But Denise found love again later in the year - going public with new boyfriend Jimmy at the 12th annual Grand Prix Ball in June, after the pair were reportedly set up by their mutual pal, All Saints singer Shaznay Lewis.
"Denise hasn’t been as happy as this in many years. No one makes her laugh like Jimmy does and they’ve become incredibly close very quickly," a source close to the star disclosed to the MailOnline as Denise debuted her new romance.
"She’s fallen hard and fast and the holiday has been amazing. It’s shown that they love spending as much time together as possible and the next natural step is moving in."
After a difficult star to the year, it seems Denise is ending 2022 on a high with a romantic holiday with new beau Jimmy.
Despite seemingly being a familiar face to Denise's showbiz pals already, not much is known about Jimmy other than the fact he owns Whiteditch Lane Development LTD and is an Arsenal FC supporter.
The loved-up pair enjoyed their first Christmas together over the weekend, as Denise shared a collection of snaps from Christmas Day with her fans on Instagram.
Captioning a shot of Jimmy donning a Santa hat, and multiple pictures of her family enjoying some festive food, Denise gushed: "Beautiful day, Boxing Day. Most amazing meats from @stiltonbutchers . Thank you Nonna for the feast. @jimmybarba and famalam."
The star also shared an additional post of herself and Jimmy enjoying a meal out with her daughter.
Denise shares 12-year-old daughter Betsy with ex-husband Lee Mead.
Speaking with Fearne Cotton on the Happy Place podcast this year, Denise praised her ex-husband and explained how the two stars are still good friends despite their divorce.
The mum-of-one also touched on her engagement to Eddie ending and how she delivered the news to her daughter.
"It is hard but even with my most recent break-up I thought I need to be honest with her because she is coming up to 12 and kids have phones now and they go to school where they can read things, hear things, so I did have to be completely honest with her," Denise explained.
She added: "And actually I wanted to be honest with her. I think it's important with kids to have that honesty. But what is really great is, even though all of it, she has got that solid foundation, she's got her dad.
"She has always got that constant in her life so actually it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be – it's still horrible. It's still heart breaking to talk to your child about that but, at the same time, she has got an amazing father."
