Loose Women star Denise Welch has opened up on the sadness she feels over her son Matty Healy, who fronts the popular indie band, The 1975. In a new interview, Denise has shared how difficult and sad it can be to be away from her son while he tours with the band.
The 65-year-old, also discussed her fears when Matty told her he needed to go to rehab for a heroin addiction, reports Chronicle Live. The former Coronation Street said: "I had to stand back and realise that Matty was the son of an alcoholic, and I had to come to terms with the shame that brought.
But Matty said, 'Mum, I wouldn’t be who I am if our house wasn’t a bit of rock’n’roll." Matty spent seven weeks at a rehab clinic in Barbados in 2017 to treat his heroin addiction and is still in recovery.
