put on a very leggy display as she posed for sizzling snaps at the launch of The Club at The Other House in South Kensington on Thursday.
The TV personality, 51, looked incredible in a plunging blue patterned mini dress, teamed with metallic purple cowboy boots.
She accessorised with a gold and blue necklace while sat posing on a blue peacock feather throne.
Olivia Cox was also in attendance, and looked stylish in a pink mini skirt, white T-shirt and black loafers.
Denise's outing in London comes after her recent girls' trip in Ibiza, where she DJ'd at new club UNVRS.

Elsewhere, Denise admitted she took up golf to meet 'loads of men' in a hilarious confession on Saturday.
Denise, who recently enjoyed a holiday to Maldives with a new man, candidly revealed her tactics for finding love.
Denise explained how she turned to the sport over dating apps following her divorce from Lee Mead in 2013, after seeing all her male friends take it up.
She has been a keen golfer since taking up sport in early 2014, and revealed the 'truth' behind her decision.
'The reason I got into it - this is the truth - it was after my divorce, and I wanted to go somewhere where there are just loads of men', she told Russell Kane on TUI's Pack Your Bags.
Denise continued: 'I just went "Where can I go?" Because when you're young, you just go to a nightclub.
'And I was like "I'm not going to be able to do that now, and I just don't want to spend all night in the nightclub". I was like "Where have all the nightclubbers gone?" And I looked, and most of my male friends have grown up and got into golf. I thought "Perfect."'
Denise is reportedly dating a new man 'in secret,' who was said to have joined her for a romantic holiday to the Maldives in April.
The DJ and TV star allegedly enjoyed a 'string of dates' with a businessman called Adam Butler after her split from her ex Jimmy.
He is said to have joined her in the Maldives while on a work trip after they were spotted on a date at Akira Black in London, according to The Sun .
A friend told the publication: 'Denise loved being single and has been so busy with her TV work and DJ-ing but Adam is someone she's enjoyed spending time with.
'They went public last month on a date at Akira Black in the Mandarin Oriental in London.
'She is in a great place in her life, her career is soaring and Adam is a successful businessman, so they compliment each other so well.'
The source also claimed that Denise's friends were 'thrilled she has found someone like Adam' as he 'treats her like a queen'.
MailOnline have contacted Denise's representatives for comment.
The reports of her blossoming romance come after Denise opened up about her dating struggles following her split from Jimmy.
She has been single since splitting from Jimmy Barba in October 2023 and joined exclusive dating app Raya last year in the hopes of finding love again.
But she admitted that she relies on dating apps to meet men as finding potential suitors has become harder since moving to the countryside.
And in a new interview, she admitted that without dating app Raya, she wouldn't have much of a love life as meeting guys 'in real life' is not as easy while living in rural Kent.
She told The Sun : 'Actually, for me, dating apps are a really good thing. I don't know how else I would meet people if I wasn't doing that.'
'When I was younger, there was the option to go out, but now I live in the country, it's not like I'm able to just go to the pub,' she added.
'Even if I went to my local, they're all my neighbours who I know anyway, so that's of no value to me.'
Detailing how her only chance of meeting potential matches 'in real life' is online, she hinted that she has come across some celebrity suitors on exclusive dating app Raya.
'I'm still on my Raya dating app, I've gone on quite a few dates with different people, I've seen so many celebrities [on Raya], but you aren't allowed to say who is on there,' she teased.
The former Big Breakfast host noted that while it's 'really fun' to use the app, she has awkwardly often found herself paired with one of her mates.
She said she hasn't really been active on Raya over the winter months, but with summer fast approaching, she plans to change that, quipping: 'Watch this space.'
The performer said being a single mother to her daughter Betsy, 14 - who she shares with ex-husband Lee Mead - makes it harder to meet new people as she can't go out at night.
Even when she is out DJing, Denise said she is 'in and out' of the venue and 'doesn't hang around', lessening her chance of sparking up a romance with anyone there.
She is seemingly keen to get back into the dating pool again after revealing she wasn't 'fussed' about being in a relationship last year.
While she has been on a few dates, she said she wasn't putting pressure on herself to find a new partner because she's very content with her own company these days.
Referencing the end of her engagement to Eddie Boxshall, who she split from in January 2022 after discovering he had been unfaithful, she told Fabulous magazine: 'I'm not fussed either way now.
'I'm really good friends with Tamzin Outhwaite and we were saying: ''Isn't it nice to actually just be loving life and not feel pressured to have to be in a relationship or be with someone?'' I've learned to be on my own and be content.
'This industry can feel pressurised, and then when things go wrong, it's so public. You worry that people see you as a failure.
'I wonder if people say: ''Why can't she hold down a relationship? History keeps repeating itself'', but I'm not chasing it now.'
She added that her relationship with Eddie only got cut short because of what she discovered he had done, admitting that was the 'sad part' of the break-up.
Denise said she was 'back to square one' but was trying to keep a 'positive outlook' and 'have an open heart'.
After her devastating split from Eddie, Denise found love again with Jimmy Barba in July 2022, but they split after 18 months together.

Revealed: The 'hurt and upset' Queen's scathing comment about Harry and Meghan's wedding - and what she REALLY thought about the couple's A-list guest list

The Queen's felt left out and 'hurt' by some of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's plans for their wedding at Windsor Castle and exasperatedly told her cousin: 'But it's my house - and I'm paying for it', it was claimed today. Her Majesty is said to have disapproved of their guestlist and the couple's preference to invite 'random' celebrities over family members in May 2018. 'That was just yet another irritation for the Queen', a seasoned royal expert claimed today. Elizabeth II was also apparently 'really annoyed' the Sussexes went directly to the Archbishop of Canterbury to ask him to marry them at St George's Chapel - even though she was Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England. Harry's grandmother was more excited about Princess Eugenie's wedding in October that year only for the Duchess of Sussex to announce she was pregnant on the day, it was also claimed today. Journalist and royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith has claimed the timing of the Sussexes' happy news had been 'rude'. Ms Bedell Smith made the claims as she described her conversations with Her Majesty's late cousin Lady Elizabeth Anson, who spoke to the Queen daily towards the end of her life. The monarch was 'upset' at not being fully involved in Harry and Meghan's wedding plans in the months and weeks beforehand, Sally said in a new podcast. Her cousin Lady Elizabeth Anson tried to console her by telling her she could 'look forward' to Royal Ascot and Princess Eugenie 's wedding. However, the Queen replied: 'But it's my house. And I'm paying for it'. The late monarch was said to have been peeved about the couple's decision to put A-listers and 'random' celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney on the guestlist over family members. The Royal Family paid for the wedding, including the service, music, flowers and reception. All 600 guests were invited to a lunchtime reception at St George's Hall, hosted by the Queen followed by an evening bash for 200 VIPs at Frogmore House, hosted by Harry's father. But Harry and Meghan had invited people that 'barely knew' knew them and the Royal Family, it was claimed today. Born in Windsor Castle, Lady Elizabeth, a great-niece of the Queen Mother and a goddaughter of King George VI, was a high-society party planner known as Liza to friends and family. The Queen's first cousin arranged the Queen's 80th birthday party and planned society weddings for more than 50 years. Sally Bedell Smith told American royal commentator Kinsey Schofield's Unfiltered YouTube show: 'Harry and Meghan just disinvited or didn't invite a whole group of family and cousins. The children of the Prince and Princess Michael of Kent and of the Gloucesters. 'She [Meghan] and Harry just "exed" them out of the guest list and they added all these other random people who barely even knew the Royal Family. That was just yet another irritation for the Queen'. 'So she was predisposed to be very fond of him, to love him, and I think it was a real shock for her when he began treating her discourteously after he and Meghan got together', Sally said. Lady Elizabeth comforted her in their daily phone calls by saying she could really look forward to Eugenie's wedding. She told the Queen: "This is going to be your family wedding. And it was it was because Harry and Meghan had they invited people they barely knew'. She told the Queen: "Just concentrate on Royal Ascot and then concentrate on the real family wedding in October". MailOnline has asked a spokesman for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to comment. She died five years ago at the age of 79 and was the Queen's confidante later in life, affectionately calling the monarch 'Jemima' and her 'Number One Lady'. Ms Bedell Smith revealed earlier this year on her popular Substack what Liza claimed Queen Elizabeth II herself thought of the Sussexes and their behaviour. Meghan was apparently 'full of charm' and appeared 'natural, intelligent, and thoughtful' after she became engaged to Harry in 2017. But as the wedding approached, Meghan allegedly became increasingly 'bossy' and Liza said the Queen was privately 'very worried'. Ms Bedell Smith wrote: 'When we spoke two weeks before the May 19 wedding, Liza had just heard from the Queen. 'The Number One Lady—I call her Jemima—says the jury is out on whether she likes Meghan,' said Liza. 'My Jemima is very worried.' In Liza's view, 'Harry is besotted and weak about women. We hope but don't quite think she is in love. We think she engineered it all.' Liza apparently said: 'It's worrying that so many people are questioning whether Meghan is right for Harry. The problem, bless his heart, is that Harry is neither bright nor strong, and she is both'. The cracks apparently appeared in February 2018. Liza claimed Harry wrote to her and said that his grandmother was 'content' with the way the wedding plans were coming along. But Sally Bedell Smith wrote that Liza had said: 'When I spoke with the Queen, she said she is not at all content'. Ms Bedell Smith wrote: 'According to Liza, the Queen was dismayed that Harry had asked the Archbishop of Canterbury to perform the wedding service in St. George's Chapel without first requesting permission from the Dean of Windsor. 'Harry seems to think the Queen can do what she wants, but she can't,' said Liza. 'On the religious side, it is the Dean of Windsor's jurisdiction.' As a result, Liza said that 'Harry has blown his relationship with his grandmother. She said she was really upset. I was shocked when the Queen told me this, how she was so saddened. I had no idea about the conversation, that he was rude to her for ten minutes. They had tea with her the day before yesterday. She was trying to find out about the wedding dress, and Meghan wouldn't tell her.'.' Liza at this point predicted that Meghan could 'turn into nothing but trouble', remarking that the Suits actress 'sees things in a different way'. Following these February rows, towards the end of April, Liza claimed that 'the Queen and Harry have patched things up'. Harry apparently visited her alone to smooth things over and later wrote to with more wedding details. Sally Bedell Smith wrote: 'Liza also said that Meghan's father, Thomas Markle, was 'frightened of coming to the wedding.' I asked her if Meghan was being bossy. 'So I gather,' Liza replied, 'Very much so.' 'My Jemima is very worried', Liza apparently added. She also said ominously: 'The wedge between the brothers is really too bad'.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts now. Thomas Markle did not attend the wedding due to health problems. Harry's father walked her down the aisle. Meghan threw herself into royal duties with her husband and then fell pregnant. Sally Bedell Smith wrote on her Substack: 'By late February 2019 when Liza and I spoke on the phone, she said 'I don't trust Meghan an inch. To begin with, she was not bad—a straightforward starlet, used to public speaking and charity work. The wedge between the brothers is really too bad.'.' At that time the Queen would visit her cousin for dinner at her London home but an increasingly frail Prince Philip would stay at home. Liza became ill with lung cancer but continued to work despite breathing problems and spent time with the Queen, who made her a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order - an honour only given to those who have given outstanding personal service to a British monarch. She died in November 2020. MailOnline has asked a spokesman for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to comment. Lady Elizabeth Anson was born at Windsor Castle during World War II and with King George VI as a godfather, she grew up surrounded by, and on first name terms with, the royals. Lady Elizabeth was also royally connected (her mother, a Bowes-Lyon, was a niece of the Queen Mother) but she was also one of the Queen's closest friends. When she married, the then 20-year-old Princess Anne was a bridesmaid, and her society cameraman brother Patrick (the Earl of) Lichfield, who gave her away, was — along with the Earl of Snowdon — the royals' go-to photographer. For almost 60 years she presided over London's party scene with a ruthless efficiency. From royalty to celebrity her business, Party Planners, organised the capital's best and most lavish celebrations. She first decided to be a party planner when she was 17. She was working as a receptionist at the Hyde Park Hotel in London, but she fell down a flight of stairs and injured herself. The fall meant she needed to find a job that would enable her to work from home, and was inspired at having to organise her own debutante party when she realised she could make a living from planning celebrations. Her first event was for the late Queen Mother. 'She was hosting a party for one of her godchildren,' Lady Elizabeth previously told Mail on Sunday. 'I remember charging very little and receiving a letter from the Queen Mother telling me to double the invoice.' She hosted bashes for everyone from Baroness Thatcher and Sir Mick Jagger, to Tom Cruise and Bill Clinton. Weddings were a speciality: there was pop star Sting's to Trudie Styler to the slightly more reserved nuptials for Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece (to heiress Chantal Miller). When Prince William married Kate Middleton in 2011, the Queen asked her to organise a party for all the visiting royal guests. By then she was a veteran of royal party planning. No palace event, it seemed, was complete without input from Lady Elizabeth. She arranged the Queen's 80th birthday party and that to mark the 50th anniversary of her coronation. In April 2021, the Queen

Four ways to boost your chances of winning massive EuroMillions prizes as £157million up for grabs TONIGHT

WINNING the lottery is everyone's fantasy - but what are the tactics behind picking the winning numbers? Lottery Guy, a top expert and blogger, has exclusively revealed his top tips to boost your chances of winning with Sun readers, which can help you scoop the entire giant £157million jackpot tonight. He chooses to remain anonymous but has been running his blog, Lottery Guy, since 2004, where he dishes out lottery tips to help players win big. Millions of us buy a Euromillions ticket each week with the hope of scooping a huge windfall - so you'll need as much help picking the winning numbers while battling it out against other players. You pick five numbers from 1-50 and two lucky stars from 1-12, or you can choose a lucky dip - which is when the numbers are randomly selected for you. There have been some mega lottery prizes up for grabs recently, including the whopping £208 million EuroMillions jackpot that was won by one lucky Irish ticket holder. The lucky player now has a bank balance bigger than superstars Adele and Dua Lipa. Meanwhile, tonight's jackpot is set at £157million. Of course, the only real way of boosting your chances of winning is to buy more tickets, but make sure you gamble responsibly. Avoid birthday numbers It may be tempting to pick yours and your loved one's birthday dates as your main numbers with the hope they bring you luck. But the Lottery Guy said it's best to avoid this tactic. That's because there will be a greater number of people picking numbers 1-31. "Avoiding these numbers doesn't increase your chance of winning, but if you do win, you're much less likely to split the prize with other winners." Three of the five winning main numbers for the whopping £208million EuroMillions winning ticket were birthday date numbers. They were: 13, 22 and 23. Pick 'unpopular' numbers Statistically, each number has an equal chance of winning, which means there are no "lucky" numbers you can pick to boost your chances. But Lottery Guy said a good idea would be to pick "unpopular" numbers in your ticket. Unpopular numbers are those which run from 32-50, because they fall outside of the birthday date numbers. It makes sense to choose these numbers, because fewer players will be picking them. That means that if you win a share of the winnings, there will be fewer people with the same unpopular numbers on their ticket. "If you do win, you're much less likely to split the prize with other winners," he said. Two of the numbers on the winning £208million EuroMillions ticket were "unpopular" numbers. These were 44 and 49. Join a syndicate A lottery syndicate is when a group of people club together and put money into a pot for lottery tickets. One person will be in charge of buying the tickets and sharing out winnings. They are called the syndicate manager. Joining one could be a good idea, said Lottery Guy. "A syndicate does increase your chance of winning something because you're usually buying a lot more tickets," he said. "But obviously your share of any prize is smaller - although it's still great for a big rollover jackpot." The syndicate manager will need to register the group and list themselves as the person in charge with The National Lottery. It's really important to write all the terms and conditions of your syndicate agreement down. Get each person to sign it, so that if there is any confusion or squabbles over splitting the money, you can refer back to the agreement. For example, if you were in a syndicate of 10 people and you bagged the £157million jackpot tonight, then each person would walk away with £15.7million. That's obviously a lot less than what you would get if you were the only winner - but it's still a jackpot not to be sniffed at. I won £115million in the EuroMillions lottery - here's how I spent it WINNING the EuroMillions was a dream come true for Frances and Patrick Connolly. The couple, from Moira, Northern Ireland, were gobsmacked when they scooped £115million back in 2019. But it wasn't a luxury supercar or a mansion that they splurged on first - they shared nearly £58million between 50 friends and family. Frances said last year that she and husband Patrick have donated £60million since their life-changing win. 'That's £60million-worth of love," she said. "And the thing that makes me even happier is that every single person we gave money to has passed some of it on to other people. I can't think of a day since winning the Lottery that I haven't smiled." They've also made some splurges of their own. Patrick has swapped his old Renault Laguna for a new £30,000 Alfa Romeo Giulia. He also gifted Frances with her dream car - although it came with a much more modest price tag - a £2,000 X-Type Jaguar. "If I had any advice for a winner, I'd say money liberates you to be the person that you want to be." Which day to play You have to be in it to win it, so if you want the chance of scooping a jackpot, you must buy a ticket. But certain days are better than others to buy a ticket. Lottery Guy said Tuesday is actually the best day to buy a ticket over Friday. He said: "With EuroMillions, Friday is the much more popular day, so you've got more competition on a Friday. "Consider focusing on the Tuesday draw if you want to keep more of that jackpot for yourself." And remember, only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and set a spending limit before you play.
