Actress and Loose Women star Denise Welch is celebrating 14 years since she last had an alcoholic drink, and says there's "nothing at all" she misses about her drinking days. The 67-year-old has seen her TV and stage career go from strength to strength in the last few years, and is happily married to artist husband Lincoln Townley.
The pair met in a nightclub when they were both struggling with alcoholism. Denise says they soon realised that their relationship would be doomed if they didn’t both give up drinking alcohol. Speaking to Lorraine Kelly in 2018, she explained that Lincoln was first to go sober, but she knew that she’d “lose him” if she didn’t follow.
