Denise Van Outen looks incredible in red swimsuit as she soaks up the sun in Dubai

DENISE Van Outen has left fans swooning over her as she wore a red swimsuit while holidaying in Dubai.

The TV star is currently on holiday in the popular Middle East location with her new man.

She looked sensational as she wore a red halterneck swimsuit while cooling off in the sea.

With a natural sun-kissed tan Denise channelled her inner Baywatch as the piece bore a similar resemblance to the one Pamela Anderson wore.

After getting out of the water the 48-year-old picked up her phone for a cheeky selfie.

The mum-of-one brought her daughter Betsy, 12, whom she shares with ex Lee Mead, on the trip.

Her new lover Jimmy Barba is also on the pre-Christmas getaway as he gets to know the star's daughter more.

They're staying at the five-star Grosvenor House hotel Dubai.

Denise recently revealed how she is in "good hands" and that Jimmy is "lovely" in an exclusive chat with The Sun.

"I’m enjoying it. I always just think you’ve got to enjoy the moment haven’t you? And he’s lovely," she said.

"We’re going to chill at home for Christmas.

"[Jimmy's] great and I’m pleased that he has a little daughter. She’s only three, so we get to do all the Christmas magic like Elf On The Shelf."

Van Outen is best known for presenting The Big Breakfast on Channel 4 before it was axed in 2002.

She's also had a number of acting gigs as she played the role of Roxie Hart in the musical Chicago both in the West End and on Broadway.

Denise had a brief role in soap opera Neighbours, where she played Prue Wallace before being killed off in a bomb explosion.
