She told The Sun: ‘I’m in a really good relationship now. Jimmy is sweet!’
Denise added of the friends they set up, “I was introduced to him through my friends who I have known most of my life.

In 2010, Jimmy became a household name in Italy after starring in the eleventh series of Big Brother (Grande Fratello), where he finished in fourth place.
While he may not have won the series and bagged the top prize of €300,000, he kept the audience entertained during his stint by striking up romances with two of his housemates, Rosa Baiano and Margherita Zanatta.
What followed was a short-lived pop career, with Jimmy releasing three singles between 2012 and 2013 – although they failed to light up the charts.
More recently, Jimmy – who defined his career as a dancer and farmer when he appeared on Grande Fratello – has eschewed the world of showbiz to become a property developer.
However, the British-Italian star revealed he is still interested in celebrity culture as he chatted with singer Cheryl and Sky Sports’ Laura Woods, among others.
