Denise Van Outen has claimed that using a sunbed when she was young damaged her skin for life.

The I'd Do Anything judge, 33, revealed that a tanning session when she was a teenager left her with permanent "pigmentation problems" on her face.

She told The Sun: "I used a sunbed when I was 18 because I didn't know the risks, but I'm paying for it now.

"It's my big regret - I have pigmentation problems on my face."

Van Outen is currently dating reality TV show winner Lee Mead, but recently claimed that she doesn't want to publicise the relationship to the media.
