Towie narrator Denise Van Outen to make show history as she appears on screen for first time in 10 years for anniversary

The Only Way Is Essex’s stalwart narrator Denise van Outen is finally going to appear on the show.

Denise, 46, has been providing the voiceover for the reality series for an entire decade but she has never stepped foot in front of the cameras.

But as Towie prepares to mark its 10th anniversary, Essex-born star Denise is getting ready to make her on-screen debut.

In a special anniversary extravaganza, which will air 10 years to the day that Towie first hit our screens, Denise is going to host a nostalgic episode.

In a preview picture, the upcoming Dancing On Ice contestant can be seen on a plush sofa alongside a glass of bubbly.

Earlier this year, Denise spoke out about the 10-year anniversary and said that she wanted to appear in front of the cameras.

She said: “I want to be in it – I’ve said, right, I’ve voiced it for ten years, I need a small cameo.

“Come on, I’m Essex through and through.”

On Sunday night, ITVBe will be filled with back-to-back episodes of Towie from years gone by.

Fans will also be able to catch up with current goings on with their fave stars, too.

Towie original Harry Derbidge has been filmed gearing up for his forthcoming nuptials, while cousin Amy Childs tries on wedding dresses.

It has also been said that Harry will be seen bumping into his ex, Bobby Norris, for the first time in years.

Meanwhile, Chloe Sims will be chatting about her 10 years’ on the popular show, while her brother Charlie and cousin Frankie Essex will also make an appearance.
