Their marriage may be all but over, but Denise Van Outen clearly has no ill-feeling towards Lee Mead. The TV personality has congratulated the actor on landing a part in long-running BBC show Casualty, several months after confirming that the couple would be separating. They insisted they would remain friends for the sake of their child.
Writing on Twitter on behalf of herself and her daughter, she wrote:
“Huge congrats to @leemeadofficial on your new series regular role in BBC’s ‘Casualty’. We are very proud of you. Den & Betsy x”

Mead had previously said of his new role:
“I’m thrilled to be joining Casualty. I really enjoyed my guest appearance in 2011, but this will be a completely different challenge.
“When I first read about the character Lofty, I didn’t imagine I would be in the frame to play him. I am hoping he will charm audiences and they will get behind him. I can’t wait to get started and to learn all of the medical jargon!”
