Living life: Denise traveled to Dubai for a pre-Christmas holiday and has been enjoying a stay at the luxurious five-star Grosvenor House hotel.

It comes as Denise’s friends think there might be wedding bells for the actress next year.

Denise recently found love again with Jimmy following her split from Eddie Boxshall.

The star ended her relationship with commodity trader Eddie in January of this year after discovering cheating messages.

In July, she went public with her relationship with her boyfriend, property developer Jimmy, and since then the couple have enjoyed their first holiday together after flying to Marbella.

Say Cheese: Denise was beach-ready as she brought a large wicker tote bag and sun hat for her stroll.

Denise explained that she didn’t want to go public until the relationship was “solid”, so the pair stayed and chatted for hours.

And his friends certainly think he’s the one, as they think he’ll pop the question to Denise next year.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Nobody who knows Denise and Jimmy would be in the least bit surprised if they got engaged next year.

“She’s been friends with him for a long, long time, but it’s become something really special.”
