She explained: “Well I’m actually in my childhood home, which hasn’t really changed very much.

In addition, Denise shared: “He’s got to have a gall bladder operation and he had a bit of a fall the other night.”
Following the fall, Denise and her sister rushed to care for their dad.

She added: “I drove up hastily to see him. And he wants everybody to know that he’s alright but it was a bit of a shock to the system.
“So I’m coming here from County Durham, where I grew up.”
