‘I’d marry her at the drop of a hat!’ Denise Van Outen and Eddie Boxshall say they’re ready to tie the knot after having couple’s hypnotherapy to strengthen their seven-year romance
Denise Van Outen and Eddie Boxshall revealed they’re ready to tie the knot after having couple’s hypnotherapy for their new podcast, Before We Say I Do.
In a new interview, the commodities trader, 46, declared he’d marry the TOWIE narrator, also 46, ‘at the drop of a hat’ as they’ve grown closer in lockdown.
The TV star’s boyfriend of seven years said on this week’s edition of Kate Thornton’s White Wine Question Time: ‘I’ll be honest… Even more so now would I marry her after doing therapy sessions.

‘I have come out the other side of those sessions and for me now, I’d marry her at the drop of a hat!”
The former Dancing On Ice star echoed her partner’s comments as she added: ‘I can’t imagine myself being with anyone else — although sometimes I’d like to.’
The media personality shares Betsy, ten, with theatre star Lee Mead – whom she was married to from 2009 until 2013, while the businessman has daughter Leah, 21, from a previous relationship.

The pair were transformed into one another for a session of the alternative method, with Denise confessed she ‘can’t’ remember.
The mother-of-one went on to reflect on how therapy made her more aware of her feelings, explaining: ‘I’ve been guilty of it in past relationships — just letting things go — but those small things become something much bigger further down the line.
‘I’ve learned that if something is bothering me, I’m just going to say it. If people do it before they get married — if you’ve been together for a number of years — then hopefully you should be able to get married and sail through wedded bliss!’
On his experience, Eddie added: ‘It’s the first time that I’ve ever had hypnosis, and I’ve always been one of them ones that’s like ”That won’t work on me”.
‘I can’t remember it being made, so it’s going to be really weird to sit and listen to the outcome of that. If anyone’s going through any issues, and there’s no way out or it’s a dead end, it’s not.
‘Do the therapy sessions, and then you’ll realise if it’s a dead end or not — but hopefully they will find and reroute you as a couple.’
Earlier this year, the couple first unveiled their plans to tie the knot to Hello! magazine, stating: ‘After we’ve finished our podcast and this dreadful lockdown ends, there will be wedding bells.
‘Betsy is desperate for us to get married; she tells us that all the time. We want to do it, too, surrounded by all our family and friends.’
