Loose Women star Denise Welch has spoken of her terror after a man was jailed for stalking offences. The former Coronation Street actress gave evidence over video-link from the US as Toraq Wyngard, 64, was sentenced at Chester Crown Court on Thursday, April 7.
The Loose Women star said: "It has changed my life. I have a wonderful life and this man has permanently scarred it." The court heard that, just before 11pm on September 19 2020, Wyngard started a fire in a skip outside the home Denise shares with her husband, Lincoln Townley, in Wilmslow, Cheshire.
Denise, wearing pink-rimmed glasses, pink lipstick and a yellow top, said she was alerted to the fire by her husband’s “piercing scream” when a member of the public knocked on their door after spotting the flames. Gareth Bellis, prosecuting, said CCTV showed a man in a distinctive baseball cap looking around the property before appearing to pour an accelerant into the skip and set it alight, the Mirror reports.
