Loose Women's Denise Welch reveals she 'stepped in' to help young Coronation Street stars

Denise Welch has revealed how she stepped in to 'look after' younger co-stars when she was one of the main cast members on Coronation Street.

Geordie actress Denise, already well known for roles in Byker Grove and Soldier, Soldier, saw her TV fame soar to a whole new level when she was cast as Natalie Horrocks in Corrie. Denise's on-screen alias quickly found herself at the centre of serious drama when Natalie had an affair with one of the street's most famous residents, Kevin Webster, behind his wife Sally's back.

The storyline majorly ruffled feathers amongst Coronation Street fans, with people coming up to Denise in the street to vent their opinions. And now she has opened up about how, while she herself, was at the centre of loads of attention due to Natalie's antics, she had concerns for the youngsters just starting their time on the long-running soap.
