Loose Women: Denise shuts down Kay during working age chat
Loose Women star Denise Welch shut down Kaye Adams saying “I’m talking” during the latest episode of the ITV daytime show.
Kaye was back on presenting duty on Friday (March 21) with Denise, Nadia Sawalha and Kelly Brooke on the panel to discuss the latest topics.
They kicked off the show by debating “do women want to work in their 60s?” and Denise said: “People are working until their 68 and what’s happening is as well, and we discussed it on a show the other day…”
Kaye interrupted: “How old are you just now?” Denise replied: “I’m be 67 in May, thank you Kaye.”
The Scottish host continued: “So can you see yourself retiring..” Denise hit back: “I’m talking. I’ve lost my thread now. It’s the fact.. I can’t even remember what I was saying.” Kaye and Denise’s co-stars and the studio audience were left in fits of giggles at the duo.
It comes just days after Denise opened up about her domestic abuse battle where an ex partner threw a table at a man for smiling at her.
During Monday’s (March 17) episode, the panel celebrated the first anniversary of their Facing It Together campaign and Denise shared some shocking details about the toxic relationship with an unnamed man.
She began: “I fell in love with this incredibly charismatic man, very, very good-looking, and I thought that my whole life had aligned and this was the person for me.
“Then, of course, you don’t realise what’s happening, so he started to chip, chip, chip away at my personality. Personality traits that I thought made me quite popular suddenly became detrimental, and he would say things like, ‘You know your friends aren’t laughing with you, they’re laughing at you.’
“‘You know, when you told that joke that they all laughed at, why did you tell that joke? It was rude. They were all rolling their eyes at each other,’ and you start to slowly believe.” She also revealed how her partner’s dysfunction and jealousy played a huge role in the abuse.
One particular instance stands out for Denise, who is now happily married to Lincoln Townley, which she described as a chilling moment in their relationship. She said: “Before I was on the telly, nobody knew who I was, we were sat in a restaurant together and I was facing the door.
“The door opened and a couple walked in, and we just made eye contact, so I smiled at them and they smiled at me. He saw, he turned around and he looked at the guy, and I’m not going to say exactly what he said, but the table went up and he said, ‘You want to… my girlfriend, right?’
When asked how these actions made her feel, Denise confessed the emotional turmoil she went through. She said: “You can imagine that any normal person listening to that story would say, ‘Why did you not just leave?’ But you are so desperate to change that person, and they make you feel like you are the centre of their life.”
