In her caption, she wrote: "ANNOUNCEMENT. Can’t wait to be reunited with @johnny_vaughan66 to co host @packedlunchc4 @channel4 Tuesday 13th June.

"@stephlunch has taken a day off so Johnny and I will be keeping her sofa warm.

"Expect the unexpected! It’s LIVE ….. anything can happen."

Denise joined the presenting team of Steph's Packed Lunch in 2021.

Recently, she told how she has a "lot of love" for her former co-star Johnny after they mended their friendship.

Speaking on the Sweat, Snot and Tears podcast in 2021, she said the pair had been talking lots during the coronavirus lockdown.

Denise said: "We have been speaking a lot recently. We've been on-and-off as friends for years for various reasons."

She continued: "A lot of my friends, that's never happened with, but I think just ours had combined career and work. When it's a work thing it's different."

She added: "I've got a lot of love for him as a person, as a friend, and I'm sure he feels the same.

"And we've started sort of talking again and we've started thinking of maybe some little ideas, so you never know." 

The Dancing on Ice star previously said they fell out after finding out his agent was trying to get him more money in contract renegotiations.
