Denise Van Outen finds cocaine on Breast Cancer Charity trek

Denise Van Outen is joining the cast of Legally Blonde at the Savoy Theatre on 25th October but is currently on a 5 day trek of the Andes for charity Breast Cancer Care with other celebrities including Fearne Cotton and Alexandra Burke.

Van Outen is mum to baby Betsy and married to Lee Mead who is currently starring in Wicked. But she came across more than she bargained for while she was hiking in Peru stumbling across a large plastic bag containing loads of white powder hidden behind a cluster of rocks.  It turned out to be 1 ½ kilos of cocaine worth over £90,000.

She handed it straight over to security who passed it on to the local police. They believe it was probably dropped by drug smugglers attempting to cross the border.
