Denise Van Outen enjoyed a sun-soaked half-term adventure with her close friends Holly Willoughby and Abbey Clancy at Universal Orlando’s brand-new Epic Universe theme park.
The group shared laughter, screams, and plenty of rollercoaster thrills as they explored the latest rides and attractions.
The 51-year-old TV star made sure to spend quality time with her daughter Betsy, 15, and her niece Freja, while Abbey’s husband, former footballer Peter Crouch, joined the fun with their four children: Sophia, 13, Liberty, nine, Johnny, six, and Jack, five.
Holly, 44, appeared to be living her best life as she raised her arms in excitement during the rides.
Denise captured the trip on social media, captioning one snap: “The story so far… EPIC universe fabulous rides for teenagers & big kids like me.
Best rides ever! What a great start to a brilliant trip with the best & most fun crew.
Embraced the tail end of a storm in our ponchos – all part of the Florida experience!”
Half-Term Fun for the Whole Family
The trip was a multi-generational affair, with both stars sharing special moments with their children.
Holly brought along her sons Harry, 15, and Chester, 11, and her 15-year-old daughter Belle, while Denise and Abbey made sure their little ones had a blast navigating the theme park’s rollercoasters and attractions.
It was a perfect combination of thrill-seeking, laughter, and family bonding, all against the vibrant backdrop of Florida’s sun and adventure parks.
Denise Van Outen Returns to Music with Ibiza Vibes
While Denise has been delighting fans in the theme park, she’s also preparing for a musical comeback with a fresh, Ibiza-inspired twist.
After securing a DJ residency at UNVRS, one of Ibiza’s biggest and most iconic clubs, Denise has been diving headfirst into dance music.
The star, who released her first album in 22 years last week titled A Bit Of Me, revealed that the residency inspired her to experiment with club sounds and electronic beats.
“I’ve been writing not just ballads but also dance tunes,” she told The Sun.
“I’ve started to get a real feel for what’s out there and I’ve been playing around with writing.”
A Personal Album and a New Chapter
Denise’s latest album blends intimate interpretations of classic songs with fresh, heartfelt touches, marking a new chapter in her career.
It also features one original track, written after her split from ex-fiancé Eddie Boxshall in 2022.
The song reflects a vulnerable period in her life when she felt “a little bit lost” and uncertain about what the future held.
The TV and stage star explained that the creative process of making music again has been exhilarating, combining heartfelt ballads with upbeat, dance-ready tracks inspired by her Ibiza residency.
She confirmed she’s already working on her first Ibiza-inspired single and is “100 per cent” planning to release it.
Balancing Career and Family
Even as Denise returns to the music scene and embraces her DJ residency, she continues to prioritize family moments, like this unforgettable theme park adventure.
With her daughter Betsy and close friends by her side, Denise has shown that she can combine personal joy with professional growth.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Denise’s representatives for comment.
