Speaking in an exclusive chat with The Sun, Denise said: “Everyone I met on EastEnders would just moan about it, just whinging about everything.
“The day I arrived, I’m quite a bubbly person, I was like ‘hi’ and they were like ‘oh you’re going to hate this.’ I was like ‘oh really?’ I don’t know what it’s like now but when I was on I found it very intense.
I don’t know what it’s like now but when I was on I found it very intense.
“But I think it was quite public knowledge there was a lot of tension on set.”

However Denise puts the tension down to the incredible work the actors do.
She added: ” I don’t want to disrespect any of the actors from EastEnders because they do an amazing job, but I think perhaps there’s a lot they go through. They’re very focused and I just thought I would have more fun.”
