After her spokesperson deemed the reports “completely untrue,” Denise revealed on TV Friday that the couple's separate holidays were down to not having a nanny.
Appearing on ITV’s Daybreak to promote her new radio show and West End role, she said: “Just to set the record straight, we don't have a nanny, so we split our parenting duties, so we do spend time apart.”
“If we had a nanny and we went away all the time together then people would critcise us for not taking our child with us. Betsy's in nursery, do you know what I mean?” she added.
Denise, who also flew to Dubai without her husband over New Year, Explained how she and Lee take it in turns to look after daughter Betsy. She said: “when I was on the Strictly Tour, Lee was at home with her, then when I finished the tour Lee went back to LA as he's doing pilot season.”

“So we have been quite separate lately,” the star admitted. Lee, who was said to be in LA working at last weekend, also dismissed the rumours on Twitter last week.
“Boring. - We're busy working parents!!” he told his followers.
The couple met in 2007 on TV show Any Dream Will Do and married within the year after a whirlwind romance. They now live in Kent with 2 year-old daughter Betsy.
