She and Jimmy, 55, were spotted together at the Hurlingham Club in Fulham as they were all dressed for a night out. But fans may have recognized the real estate maker from the reality show in the past – as well as appearing in his own music video. Back in 2010, Jimmy was a well-known name in Italy when he starred in the eleventh series of Big Brother (Grande Fratello). He finished in fourth place in the series – entertaining the audience by creating TWO romances on the show. Jimmy came close with his co-stars Rosa Bayano and Marguerite Zanata, but the crises did not last in the outside world. Instead, Jimmy embarked on a short-lived music career, releasing three pop singles between 2012 and 2013 – which did not make the charts. He then turned his back on showbiz to become a real estate developer, but has been linked to other British celebrities. In 2019, he joked with singer Cheryl on Twitter that he would be “her Valentine” after the Fight For This Love star approached him. “Do you want to be my Valentine?” wrote to Jimmy in a tweet, to which he simply replied: “Yes.” He then poured himself over Sky Sports star Laura Woods as “beautiful” – along with a kiss emoji – after posting a selfie. It comes shortly after it was revealed that Denise found love with Jimmy again after she was introduced by her friend the pop star. Denise has been with merchant Eddie Boxshall since 2014, but divorced in January when she admitted sending messages to other women. According to the Daily Mail, the mother of one is “happy” after she started seeing the real estate manufacturer, Jimmy. The couple has “found themselves in a few dates” after being introduced to them by All Saints singer Shaznay Lewis. 3 The TV star even attempted a music career after his fame in the reality show Credit: GRANDE FRATELLO
