Denise pays the Rent with her raunchiest role yet

Playing murdering jailbird Roxy Hart in Chicago clearly wasn't enough for Denise Van Outen.

The 33-year-old is now starring as scantily clad bisexual Maureen in the West End's production of Rent.

Denise will certainly give the critics a couple of things to think about when the curtain goes up at the show's press night tonight at the Duke Of York Theatre.

Vice Den: the show follows a gang of New York artists

The play follows the ups and downs of a bunch of impoverished artists and musicians trying to make a living in New York.

The show is being directed by Kylie Minogue's close pal William Baker.

Kylie is said to have recorded a series of phone messages in different accents that will be played during the show.

Sultry: She strikes a pose

Denise has revealed the role will be her raunchiest yet: "There's a bit of girl on girl action going on," she has said.

"I've got my girlfriend in the show and, in one scene, I'm a bit of a tart when I then kiss another girl.”

"In the space of three minutes I kiss two girls. It's a bit of a challenge for me because I like boys.

Rent first appeared on the West End stage in 1998 and is loosely based on Puccini's La Boheme.

The latest version is designed to win a younger generation of fans and features a paired down score and more minimalist stage design.
