Denise Van Outen is returning to Neighbours as Prue Wallace after successful first stint on Aussie soap
DENISE Van Outen is returning to Neighbours as Prue Wallace after a successful first stint on the Aussie soap.
The 45-year-old made her debut Down Under in September last year, playing the mother of Harlow Robinson.
Denise shot in London before heading over to Australia to film scenes with her on-screen daughter, who is played by Jason Donovan's real life daughter, Jemma.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun Online at The Sun's Millies Awards on Thursday night, Denise revealed she would be back on our screens as Prue very soon.
She said: "I'm still doing Neighbours, I'm back on in March.
"I filmed in the summer last year and so was on for three or four weeks and then I come back again in two weeks."
Her filming commitments for the Aussie soap also rule her out of speculation that she is Fox on The Masked Singers.
Many fans of the ITV singing show have been convinced the silver fox is Denise, but she insisted it wasn't.
She said: "I have been asked by so many people. I think I know who it is, I think it's Rita Simons.
"When it was filmed I was in Australia filming Neighbours."
But Denise, who has previously showed off her singing and performance skills on the West End stage in Chicago, wouldn't rule out being part of the show in the future.
She said: "I'd love to do it, yeah. Definitely."
