DENISE Van Outen has been forced to cancel her cabaret show just hours beforehand due to safety concerns.
The TV star took to social media to tell fans she was “truly sorry” for the last-minute cancellation.
Denise, 50, explained: “Due to unforeseen circumstances we have been advised to cancel this evenings show due to health & safety @eightembankment (gas leak).
“We are truly sorry and gutted to let down our audience. We will be fully refunding your pre payments. Please allow 1-2 weeks for refunds.
“So sorry! We tried today to find a back up venue but I hope you can appreciate it’s been very difficult to do so during the busiest week for events in London.
“We will be back in the new year. Wishing you all a merry Christmas.”
The show was due to be held at Eight Embankment and tickets were priced at £38.75.
Fans were set to be treated to a two-course meal as Denise performed on stage.
Bosses had also planned an after party for guests once the show ended.
Denise – who shot to fame on The Big Breakfast – has now turned her attention to consumer shows.
In recent times she’s fronted Airfryers, Are They Worth It and Secrets of the Supermarket Own-Brands and her latest – How to Heat Your Home For Less This Winter.
It’s a long way from her Nineties pin-up days when she’d film in strappy dresses, but she couldn’t be happier.
Denise told The Sun: “That’s all changed. Now you catch me in a chunky, knitted jumper – who’d have thought!
“I was in my early 20s when I first came into the public eye but it’s nice there’s an audience where we’ve all grown up together.”
All of the shows we've said goodbye to this year:
