Since splitting with Boxshall, Van Outen has remained on the show, instead drafting in former Blue singer Duncan James to help her plow through the TV guide.
Speaking about the replacement at the time, the former Strictly Come Dancing contestant said: "The big thing is we trust each other. I trust [Duncan], and we respect each other as friends.
"For me, it's those moments when things are not going so well in your life and there's someone who reaches out to you to make sure you're okay. Dunc's always the first, he's got the biggest heart."
Van Outen has one child with her partner before Boxshall, Any Dream Will Do winner Lee Mead. She gave birth to their daughter in 2010.
