Denise Welch and Vanessa Feltz lead stars at historic London venue for Rainbow Honours

Denise Welch looked amazing at a star-studded event on Wednesday night, after making a candid and honest admission about her past mental health struggles.

The Loose Women presenter, 64, was one of the many celebrities in attendance at the Rainbow Honours at the National History Museum in London, with Blue singer Duncan James and newly single Vanessa Feltz also in attendance.

As always, Denise, 63, dressed to impress at the annual event as she donned a colourful striped blazer which she paired with a pair of dazzling sequin black jeans.
