Denise Van Outen has admitted that she has a crush on former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.

The ex-Big Breakfast presenter, who is currently starring in a West End production of Rent, has claimed she is disappointed that the Portuguese coach left the London football outfit this week because she thinks he is "sexy".

Van Outen told The Sun: "I’m gutted about Jose, I always fancied him. He’s really sexy.

"I don’t want him to leave the country - but at least he now has time to come and see Rent. I’d love it if he came to see me."
