'One word: AUTHENTIC' - Somizi sings Denise Zimba's praise on her Vuzu return

Denise Zimba surprised fans on Tuesday when the former Vuzu presenter made a return to V- Entertainment for the night.

Denise, who left fans in tears at her departure in March, made an appearance on the show on Tuesday and, well, let's just say Twitter went into overdrive!

Fans of the show poured onto social media site Twitter to gush over Denise and celebrate her return "home".

But perhaps one of the greatest messages of praise came from Idols judge Somizi, who took to Twitter to pour praise on Denise.

Denise announced her exit from the popular show in March, in order to concentrate on her several side projects. She later released a new musical single before relocating to Europe to study ballet in Munich, Germany.

The star returned to South Africa earlier this month.
