Recently Denise called on ITV bosses to bring a fun-filled singing show back to the schedule 15 years after it was axed.
The presenter 49, appeared on an episode of Good Morning Britain to chat about her new hard-hitting Channel 4 series, Secrets Of Supermarket Own-Brands.
Yet Denise then used her segment on the show to call on the broadcaster to resurrect a karaoke show she fronted with Ben Shephard, 48, back in 2008 too.
As a throwback clip of the pair singing together on Who Dares, Sings played out, Denise remarked: "They need to bring this back!"
The programme aired for the single series and spanned seven episodes.
It saw a studio audience of 100 people all attempt to belt out a tune for a £50,000 jackpot.
The whole crowd's vocals were judged by a special Sound Analysis Machine which pulled out the two strongest competitors with its clever technology.
The two strongest then locked horns in a pitch battle before progressing to the final stage in an attempt to win the cash.
Meanwhile, viewers were left stunned after GMB was "cut off"; almost immediately after the chat with Denise.
