Denise Welch reveals she’s signed a new big money contract to stay on Loose Women – but snubs co-star
DENISE Welch has revealed she’s signed a new contract to stay on Loose Women.
The 65-year-old was a panellist on Loose Women from 2005 until 2013 when she took a break before returning in 2018.
Now actress Denise has told how she’s got no plans to leave the ITV show anytime soon.
Speaking to Best, she said: “I’ve just signed another contract for Loose Women for a year, which I adore. I
“I’m there for the long-haul. But I’m at the point now where I love working, but I also love not working. Next year is about getting the balance right.”
In another interview Denise was asked who she is closest too on the panel and appeared to snub one of her co-stars.
She told Bella: “In he 21 years I’ve done this show, I have never, ever, ever had an actual argument with anybody on that show. I can go hammer and tongs with them on set, but nothing afterwards.
“Kaye Adams and I see quite a bit of each other, I’m very close to Charlene White. I’m very close to Sunetra Sarker, I’m very close to Jane Moore, but I’ve known Jane for 30 years – way before we did Loose Women. I see Brenda Edwards when I can, I still see Andrea Mclean from the old days. I’m very close with Katie Piper. So to be honest, there’s no one that I wouldn’t want to see, but we’re all busy and my main home is Cheshire. We’re a close bunch, but not in each other’s pockets.”
But Denise notably failed to mention Stacey Solomon, who has been largely absent from the show since having youngest child Belle in February.
Meanwhile Denise was recently forced to respond after becoming the target of a sick social media death hoax.
Her Wikipedia page was updated to claim she’d been involved in a bizarre accident with Big Brother stars Kerry Riches and Farida Khalifa.
But Denise hit back, saying: “I’m alive and well and about to watch the jungle. Thanks for your concern.”
