Denise Welch has admitted she willed a plane she was on to crash as her depression took hold, while she was travelling to Australia with son Matt Healy, who has since written a song about her struggles.
Denise has been very open about her battles with mental health, drugs and alcohol over the years, whether it be during discussions on Loose Women or in her candid autobiography The Unwelcome Visitor. The former Coronation Street actress, who has just returned to screens in new Dave comedy Dead Canny, was back on the Loose Women on Thursday, to join host Kaye Adams and colleagues Coleen Nolan and Brenda Edwards.
One of the topics of discussion during the hour long show was 'Should you tell you kids when you are sick?' And, after Coleen spoke about how her late sister Bernie told her young daughter that she had cancer, Denise opened up on how much son Matt, lead singer or award winning band The 1975, was aware of her depression growing up.
