Denise Welch shares nostalgia over Tyneside's lost shops as she calls to bring back Woolworths

Denise Welch came over all nostalgic as she named the shops she would like to see make a comeback in Newcastle - and revealed which one she misses most of all.

The Tynemouth-born star, 64, reminisced about her childhood on Tyneside as she chatted with her fellow Loose Women stars about shops that have since disappeared from the high street. Earlier this week, a 3D virtual tour of old favourite Woolworths went viral for offering shoppers the chance to relive the 90s by virtually stepping inside a store filled with VHS videos, CDs, Tamagotchi and Beanie Babies.

But Denise was gutted that Woolworths wasn't making a real comeback after all 800 UK stores closed in 2009. "Woolworths is the shop that I miss the most," she admitted to her Loose Women co-stars on Wednesday's episode of the ITV show. "Woolworths and C&A. It's just so nostalgic."
