Denise Welch has received widespread support on social media, including plenty of kind messages from her Loose Women colleagues, after revealing that she'd reached the milestone of being 11 years sober on Tuesday.
Former Coronation Street and Waterloo Road actress Denise gave up the booze months after her win on Celebrity Big Brother in 2012 and has stayed sober ever since, being fully candid about her issues with drinking in the past and how it had a negative impact on her relationships with those closed to her."
On the say that she also sat on the Loose Women panel for the second time this week, Denise took to Instagram not long after cameras had rolled on the live episode to share too strikingly different photos of herself: one rom her drinking past and one from the present day and wrote: "1 yrs sober today!!! Giving up my disastrous relationship with alcohol changed my life, my husband's life and my children’s lives. Plus the lives of all who love me.
