Denise Van Outen out in London without her wedding ring on

Denise Van Outen was asked to mime a love song on TV shortly after splitting from husband Lee Mead.

The 39-year-old star had to act out a description of Cheryl Cole's hit song 'Fight For This Love' on new Channel 4 charades show 'Name That Toon' on Monday night (29.07.13), and she took the opportunity to create new lyrics.

As the blonde beauty started doing the song's punching dance movements, she added new words: "I'm angry, I'm angry with my ex, I'm gonna take it out on him."

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Denise was po-faced all night and only smiled when the camera was on her.

"She didn't look at all happy when she was given 'Fight For This Love' to perform -- but she ended up really getting into it."

Denise was spotted out and about in North London yesterday (30.07.13) without her wedding ring on after breaking up with the 32-year-old musical theatre actor.

Following speculation that the couple - who have three-year-old daughter Betsy together - had split up, Denise's agent released a statement earlier this week confirming the pair have called time on their four-year marriage.

It said: "Following continued speculation, Denise Van Outen and Lee Mead are sad to confirm they have decided to separate.

"The couple remain the best of friends, with their daughter Betsy as their number one priority."

Denise and Lee are said to have broken up because they have "fallen out of love" after spending lengthy periods apart.
