Denise Van Outen has revealed what really happened on a private jet with Jon Bon Jovi and Naomi Campbell during one of her wildest celebrity adventures. The TV favourite lifted the lid on the unforgettable trip, which took place at the height of the 1990s.
Private Jet to Milan for Versace Fashion Show
Speaking to the Daily Star in collaboration with SkyVegas, Denise recalled being whisked off to Milan aboard a private jet for a Donatella Versace fashion show. On board were rock legend Jon Bon Jovi, supermodel Naomi Campbell, and several other famous faces.
She laughed: "I've had a few fun moments. I think the 90s were wild. I flew on a private jet to Milan for the Donatella Versace fashion show, and on the jet was me, Jon Bon Jovi, Naomi Campbell and a few other famous people. That was quite fun. We literally flew in, went to the fashion show and then flew straight out."
Decade of Blurred but Fond Memories
Looking back, Denise admits much of the decade feels like a blur, but she has nothing but fond memories of those whirlwind celebrity experiences. "Things like that are all a little bit of a blur because it was the 90s, but there were fun moments like that," she said.
Another Unforgettable Trip: Dinner with Elton John
Another unforgettable trip came while she was living in Los Angeles, when she made a flying visit to Las Vegas for dinner with music icon Elton John. She revealed: "I also once, when I lived in LA, flew into Vegas on a private jet to go and have dinner with Elton John. I flew in, had dinner with Elton, then flew back to LA. That was quite fun. There are a lot of fond memories of those days."
Positive Celebrity Encounters
Despite rubbing shoulders with some of the world's biggest stars throughout her career, Denise insists she has been lucky enough to avoid disappointing celebrity encounters. "I've always interviewed nice people," she said. "My favourite guest on The Big Breakfast was Will Smith. He was always up for a laugh and really good fun. Whenever he came on the show, he'd chat to all the crew members. I've got more positive stories than negative because I've always interviewed nice people."
Family Comes First
While Denise admits she sometimes wonders what might have happened if she'd accepted acting opportunities in America earlier in her career, she has no real regrets. Instead, she says becoming a mum changed her priorities, with family always coming before work. "I've always had a rule that I would never go away for too long," she said. "At the end of the day, my family is my home and my life. That's more important than any job."
