Loose Women's Denise Welch confronted over case of 'mistaken identity' after Twitter prank

Denise Welch has been put on the spot by her Loose Women colleague Charlene White, after being at the centre of a case of 'mistaken identity' thanks to a Twitter prank that fooled many people on social media.

As viewers of the ITV show and Denise's Instagram followers know, she is a regular at The 1975's gigs, getting to performances whenever she's able to, to support son Matty Healy and his bandmates. She took a girls trip to Ireland earlier this week to the group in action in Cork; but before that, she found herself at the centre of a viral online hoax, linked not just to The 1975, but also American singer Pink.

A Twitter user shared a video, carrying the caption: 'Matty Healey’s mother joined the band on stage at tonight’s The 1975 gig," with the added use of the 'siren' emoji, having people thinking this was a breaking update they needed to check out.' And, keeping the attention surrounding the tweet going, Denise herself responded: "It’s Healy and I’m still dizzy!!"
