A well-known TV personality, blonde bombshell, and all-around great crack, in this episode, I sit down with Denise Van Outen. We're chatting about her exciting career, starting from the age of 7 (yep, she kicked things off early, giving a whole new meaning to 'start them young'), and onto her time at Sylvia Young. She tells us what she loves and maybe doesn't love so much about her career, talking real talk about the entertainment industry's passion vs. money dilemma. She's made some serious calls, waving goodbye to big-money deals because of principles, especially when the working environment isn’t cutting it.
