What happened with Denise Welch on Loose Women today?
Today’s panel consisted of Denise, Judi, host Charlene White and Brenda Edwards, and they discussed England’s victory over Denmark in Euro 2020.

When it came to Judi, she reflected on the death of her father only months ago.
She said she was feeling empty, and that a part of her had died as well. She also reconsidered her career as a comedian.
As Judi was talking about her journey of grief and rebuilding, Denise interrupted her to talk about her own struggles with mental health.

Another asked: “Why are you interrupting Denise?! #LooseWomen”.
A third said: “It’s so annoying, she keeps on until the other person gives way.
“Not everyone wants to just listen to her point of view, there are three other people on the panel.

Outspoken Denise
Denise is known for airing her opinion, and last month she clashed with host Kaye Adams about the Matt Hancock controversy.
The outspoken panelist was responding to the former Health Secretary’s rule-breaking and affair with aide Gina Coladangelo.
Denise said she would now “no longer abide by rules that make absolutely no sense”.
