Denise Van Outen has quit her radio show on London station Capital FM.

The blonde beauty - who signed up to present the early morning show with Johnny Vaughn for a year - has resigned after just five months because she is too "knackered" to balance it with her TV career.

A source said: "She has made no secret that she is knackered. She has been getting up at 4am, then working on TV during the day. She is under contract until February, so chiefs aren't best pleased."

As well as her radio slot, Denise presents ITV1 TV talent show 'Who Dares Sings' as well as Sky One show 'Hairspray: The School Musical'.

They only get to see each other properly on Sundays. She underestimated the radio show and has been trying to leave for some time.

Denise's decision to quit is also related to her desire to spend more time with her boyfriend Lee Mead, who she met while presenting BBC show 'Any Dream Will Do' last year.

The source added to Britain's The Sun newspaper: "They only get to see each other properly on Sundays. She underestimated the radio show and has been trying to leave for some time."
