Denise Welch has opened up about a health scare that left her hospitalized for a week after returning from a holiday in the Caribbean. The Loose Women star, who had been eagerly anticipating showing off her suntan, was instead rushed to the hospital with a severe infection known as acute peritonitis, a condition that involves the infection of the inner lining of the abdomen.
Speaking candidly on Tuesday’s episode of Loose Women, Denise revealed the shocking turn of events. “I got back from a lovely holiday in the Caribbean last Saturday. All bronzed, looking forward to coming on here and showing off my suntan. I got rushed into hospital on the Saturday with acute peritonitis – perforated diverticulitis,” she said, reported Wales Online.
