BIOGRAPHY

Denise Celeste Fox (also Wicks and Johnson) is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Diane Parish. She made her first appearance on 11 May 2006 and temporarily left EastEnders in early 2008 to give birth to her second child. Her exit coincided with the permanent departures of cast members Phil Daniels (Kevin Wicks), Kellie Shirley (Carly Wicks) and Matt Di Angelo (Dean Wicks). She returned to Walford on 6 June 2008. This is Parishs second role in EastEnders, as she previously played singer Lola Christie in 1998.Introduced as a single mother to Chelsea Fox (Tiana Benjamin) and Libby Fox (Belinda Owusu) who has come from an abusive marriage, Denise has gone on to marry two additional times. Firstly, to Kevin Wicks in 2007, who dies months later, and then to Lucas Johnson (Don Gilet) in 2009, with them divorcing two years later after he is imprisoned for murder. She also embarks on a loveless engagement to Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt), flings with younger men Fatboy (Ricky Norwood) and Kush Kazemi (Davood Ghadami) and a drunken one-night stand with Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) which results in a pregnancy. Denises third child, a son, is born in 2017, but she gives him up for adoption, shortly before her mother tells her she is adopted herself. In early 2017, Denise was also involved in a bus crash.
