And Denise Van Outen looked in great spirits as she enjoyed a dog walk with boyfriend Eddie Boxshall and her live-in DOI skate partner Matt Evers in Essex on Sunday.
The TV personality, 46, cut a chic figure in a leopard print coat as she cuddled up to new puppy Remy during a winter stroll with the boys.

Denise teamed her stylish coat with a black baker boy cap, keeping warm with black leggings and black lace-up boots.
The star tied her platinum blonde tresses into pigtails beneath her cap, while she added a minimal palette of make-up to her face.
Ice skater Matt, 44, meanwhile kept things casual in a green camouflage padded jacket, which he teamed with blue jeans, black wellington boots and a grey hat.
While Eddie, 46, also kept his look low-key, donning a khaki jacket, dark jeans and black shoes.

The group all seemed to be having a great time as they doted on pooches Tilly and Remy during the chilly stroll.
Matt moved in with Denise, her daughter Betsy, 10, and her partner Eddie at the start of lockdown so they could be in the same isolation bubble together while training for the show.
Britain’s second lockdown has made training for the show ‘tricky’ however, as most ice rinks are closed, so Denise and Matt have been using ITV’s studio rink.

However there are restrictions in place around its use so they can only have it for a few hours a day.
Although she had classical dance training as a child, Denise has found skating more difficult than she had anticipated.
The star thought she would pick things up quickly but admitted she struggled to master even some of the more basic moves.
Denise recently cited her daughter Betsy as the reason she wouldn’t be taking too many risks on the ice.

Family: Speaking to The Sunday Mirror’s Notebook Magazine, Denise cited her daughter Betsy, eight, as the reason she wouldn’t be making any death-defying moves on the ice
The star shares her daughter Betsy with her ex-husband Lee Mead, who she was married to from 2009 to 2013.
Speaking to The Sunday Mirror’s Notebook Magazine, Denise said: ‘I won’t take any risks on the ice for my daughter’s sake.’
One of the show’s most nail biting moves is the headbanger, where a skater is swung around with their head being raised and lowered, often dangerously close to the ice.
The star will be competing against the likes of Myleene Klass, Billie Faiers, and Rebekah Vardy on the new series.
