DENISE van Outen’s cheating ex Eddie Boxshall has grown close to his business partner three months after their split, according to reports.
The DJ was pictured leaving a gig in Chelmsford with club promoter Julia Pinkney, 47, who the Mail describes as his “shoulder to cry on”.
In the snaps, that were taken last month, the pair climbed into a black cab following Eddie’s set in the Essex city.
The friends occasionally share the odd comment on social media.
Last summer Jane chugged a magnum bottle of Champagne in a hot tub while watching England in the Euros.
Eddie posted underneath: “That’s one way to do it!”
On Valentine’s Day this year Eddie got behind the decks for her Love Bytes event, and a picture of him in action was shared on its Instagram page.
He responded with a purple heart emoji.
Yesterday Eddie threw another vicious dig at ex Denise – but this time took aim at her autobiography.
The 46-year-old sarcastically offered “tips” on how to sell it amid her publicity tour.

Denise has been doing a run of interviews to promote her new book, A Bit of Me.
The actress, 47, finished her seven-year relationship with Eddie in January after discovering he had been sending X-rated messages to other women
Denise revealed she caught ex Eddie cheating after finding strangers’ boobs on his iPad.
Speaking of the pictures and Instagram messages she found, Denise said in her book: “Among photos was a screenshot…of a woman’s breasts – and they definitely weren’t mine!”
She added: “Also, there was a flirty text exchange between Eddie and this woman, which, of course, set off alarm bells.”
On The One Show, Denise told how she was forced to scrap the heartfelt ending of her autobiography after discovering her fiance Eddie’s infidelity.
She said: “That was the toughest thing for me. The book is very upbeat because I’ve had some incredible work experiences.
“But it was supposed to come out last November and that’s when I found out everything that had been going on.
“I had to make a decision and we had to pull the book. It’s unheard of.
“We had to get rid of all the books I’d written and I had to sit and do a rewrite.
“At that particular time can you imagine how raw everything was?
“To put your heart and your feelings on paper and for it to be so public…”
The actress added: “You have to accept the good with the bad. But I felt like I couldn’t write an autobiography without being really truthful and honest about my feelings.
“Also, the fact we had shared the sofa together and people had got to know as a couple, it felt only fitting that I explained a few things.
“It’s been hard but I’m in a really good place. I’ve done a lot of crying at home and I’ve got through that part of it. In the book I’ve only put in all the facts about everything that happened, which led to the breakdown of the relationship.
“But things are good, I’ve got great things going on this year and have been able to spend time with amazing friends and family, so I feel very happy.”
