Denise Van Outen's cheating ex Eddie Boxshall has reportedly been axed from Celebrity Gogglebox, with Kimberley Walsh being lined up to replace him.
The television star, 47, previously took part in the Channel 4 show with Eddie, also 47, but she announced she'd broken up with boyfriend of seven years on Friday after he was allegedly having phone sex with other women.
The pair joined Gogglebox together in 2019 and while they quickly became fan favourites Denise has no desire to work alongside her ex.

A source told The Sun: 'They were already signed up to the next round of filming when Denise dumped Eddie and she wants to honour the commitment.
'But she won’t be having Eddie back in the house, let alone on her sofa, so she is looking for a friend to come on board.
'Ideally, it would be Kimberley Walsh as they’re good pals and Kimberley has been on Gogglebox before.'
MailOnline has contacted Channel 4 for comment.

Confirming her split from Eddie in an Instagram post last week, Denise wrote: 'Over the past couple of months, there has been much speculation regarding my relationship with Eddie.
'It saddens me to confirm that we are no longer a couple. I had to make the difficult decision not to continue in our relationship.
'I will always treasure the good times we spent together, and the memories made. We ask that you please respect our privacy at this time, especially for our children.'

The Sun claimed on Friday that the star and her fiancé had gone their separate ways due to the incidents.
A source told the publication: 'It's the very last thing she expected to happen. She thought this was for ever — but while she has been out at work he's been sat in her home betraying her trust.'
According to the newspaper Denise asked Eddie to leave their home after discovering he had been swapping messages and calls with women he met online and hooking up with another on secret dates.
The source continued about the alleged cheating: 'Their families are close, and they get on great with each other's children. But the trust is totally shattered and she just doesn't see a way back for their relationship.
'Eddie has moved out to stay with a friend nearby and he's admitted to some of it already after being pushed for some answers. But Denise is determined to move on with her life.
'She's angry and upset but she's always worked hard to support herself and stand on her own two feet, so that's what she's determined to do again.'
