On October 20, 2026, Denice Lam, the champion of the 2022 Miss Hong Kong pageant, gained a lot of fans for her role as “Lola” in TVB’s drama series “Come Home Love: Happy Courier.” As this long-running series officially concluded, Denice revealed in an interview that she has not received any new offers for TV dramas yet. She even tried to reach out to producers to audition for roles, but she is currently in a period of downtime and relying on her savings to cover her daily expenses.
Operating her own social media accounts has been a way for Denice Lam to stay in the public eye and engage with her fans. She recently shared a video discussing her first luxury handbag purchase, reminiscing about the time when she worked three part-time jobs just to afford it.
In the video, Denice recalled that at the age of 20, while working as a model and attending various events, she decided to treat herself to a luxury handbag as a birthday present. Being independent and facing the pressures of rent and daily expenses, she opted to make monthly installment payments over 12 months to purchase the bag, rather than paying a five-figure sum upfront. It wasn’t until two years later that she bought her second luxury bag.
Since winning the Miss Hong Kong title, Denice Lam’s acting career hasn’t seen significant breakthroughs with limited exposure and acting opportunities. With the end of her role in “Come Home Love: Happy Courier,” she now finds herself in a position where there are no acting projects on the horizon. While she mentioned that she holds a safety training certificate for the construction industry, she has no plans of transitioning into that field in the near future. During this downtime, she will focus on managing her social media accounts to potentially earn some income through advertisements.
Despite being the daughter of the popular Hong Kong actor Julian Cheung in the 1980s, Denice Lam has had a challenging upbringing. Her parents separated when she was less than a year old, and she was raised by her mother until she reconnected with her father at the age of 14 or 15. Julian Cheung did not provide substantial support to his daughter, and he also faced business setbacks in the past.
According to a report by “Sing Tao Headlines,” there were anonymous allegations circulating around Denice Lam owing 500,000 Hong Kong dollars in credit card debt before and after winning the Miss Hong Kong title in 2022. Although these rumors were not fully confirmed, it sheds light on her previous financial struggles.
