Using boiler cupboard for drying clothes?

I’ve finally gotten around to a huge declutter and have “acquired” a whole new cupboard as a result🤣
The gas combi boiler lives in there but I’ve just realised that this could be an ideal new home for my clothes horse in the winter. My question is, will I just create myself a damp problem in there if I do this?
Sorry if this is a dumb question but better asking before rather than too late!
Thanks

Our boiler's a floor-mounted combi, with a small integral hot tank, and I use the heat that comes up from it 24/7 to raise dough, dry chillis, beans & eggshells (to be crushed & fed back to The Girls in their mash) & thoroughly dry out small things like jam jars, on a set of shelves above it. Works a treat.

I’ve never had an airing cupboard before so I was probably over thinking it - had no idea if these were “special” cupboards with air vents😊
Boiler sits on the wall above and clear of the clothes horse so no worries of vents being blocked.
