Loose Women’s Denise Welch calls out Carol McGiffin for 'gross' behaviour

Loose Women’s Denise Welch called out co-star Carol McGiffin for her “gross” behaviour on the latest instalment of the ITV daytime chat show.

The Loose Women studio became heated on Tuesday as Denise reminisced about a particularly awkward exchange in years gone by.

The 64-year-old recalled going out for a night on the town with her 62-year-old broadcaster co-star and her husband Mark Cassidy.

But Denise described being hugely put off by the pair’s over-the-top public displays of affection and shared one instance the couple kissed in front of her, mimicking the moment.

Denise laughed as said that she hoped Carol was watching Loose Women as she told the story.

She said: “I used to have this with McGiff, and I hope she’s watching.

“When she first got with Mark and in fact even now, I used to go out with Carol and Mark and I’d be the only other person there and I’d look and they were like this…” – she then mimicked the kissing.

She added: “It’s like oh my God that’s the grossest thing ever.”

This comes after Ruth Langsford jokingly accused Phillip Schofield of calling her 'well dressed mutt' during Monday's This Morning.

As usual, Phillip and his co-host Holly Willoughby crossed over to the Loose Women ladies during the show to see what was coming up on the lunchtime series.

However, just before the link, 41-year-old Holly said: "Right still to come... he's got the paw-fect Jubilee accessories. Gyles [Brandreth] is back to show you how our dog can take part in the celebrations too.

Father-of-two Phillip then added: "On the subject of well-dressed mutts, in just a moment we are joined by Sweep and Sooty as well to hear about their exciting new project."

"First though, it's time to find out what the Loose Women are talking about this lunch time," Holly then said, before adding: "There they are, hi Ruth!"

Ruth could be heard laughing along with her fellow panelists Judi Love, Denise Welch and Kéllé Bryan.

Explaining the laughter, she told Holly and Phil: "I'm so sorry, when Phillip said, 'talking of well dressed mutts', we all went, 'sorry, sorry!'"

Bursting into laughter himself, Phillip began clapping as Ruth eventually said: "Right, coming up with us well dressed mutts," before woofing for the camera.

Loose Women airs weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV
