Denise Welch opens up on how dad's death 'inspired her to carry on tradition' of living life to the full

Geordie TV star Denise Welch has opened up about how life has changed since the death of beloved father, Vin almost a year ago.

The Loose Women star was ‘blindsided’ when her father died in September last year. But she has revealed the heartbreak led to her re-evaluating the things that were important to her. She was extremely close to her dad - who even appeared on the ITV panel show with her on occasion.

She told the Daily Star: “When I lost my dad, it changed my perspective on things. I decided I didn’t have a very good work/life balance. My dad was somebody who filled every single minute of his 84 years. I want to carry on that family tradition.”
