Denise Welch has admitted "going against Tim’s wishes" as she chose to go to a private hospital for the birth of her first child.
The Loose Women star recalled her 42-hour labour when she had her eldest son, Matthew, 33, whom she shares with her ex-husband Tim Healy. Speaking on Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe's Parenting Hell podcast last year, Denise laughed as she remembered thinking there would be no pain relief at the natural childbirth clinic.
The 64-year-old actress said: "I had Matthew in London after a 42-hour labour. Natural childbirth. I was married to a complete champagne socialist, Tim. And we were going to have him in a National Health hospital, but it wasn’t the best hospital.
