Denise Welch, a regular panellist on Loose Women, left her co-hosts speechless with a spicy revelation about her love life.

The former soap star was discussing how to reignite the spark in a relationship when she made the candid confession. Chatting with co-hosts Charlene White, Katie Piper and Brenda Edwards, Denise opened up about her husband Lincoln Townley. She began by joking that he’s “always been, urm, into older women, so he got his dream on my 66th birthday obviously.”

The audience chuckled as Denise went on: “It’s difficult because it’s half-term and they give us this topic to talk about but, when we first got together, everything was active, a lot of the time. To the point that we once had to pull into a hotel to be more active for an hour and then drive on.” Her co-hosts were visibly taken aback by the racy admission, pulling faces of surprise and confusion.

However, the audience seemed to enjoy the saucy tale, cheering in response. Denise added: “We don’t necessarily do that anymore, but it’s still important to us.”, reports OK!. She continued: “But when I think about keeping the spark, I don’t think it’s just about always the sexual spark.”

Reflecting on her life’s blessings, Denise wrote: “A wonderful marriage to @lincolntownley, 3 amazing sons, Matty, Louis and Lewis. My sister and my nieces and nephews. The Townleys. A grandson Theo and I’ve been free from clinical depression for 5 yrs! “.

She also acknowledged the mixed emotions tied to the date, noting it as the anniversary of her mother’s death: “Of course May 22nd will always be bittersweet as it’s 12 years today since Mum died.” Reflecting on her late mother’s influence, she said: “She would have been 88 this year and believe me, she would still be wearing swimwear and looking fabulous!! I hope she’d be proud that I’m sober, still working hard in my chosen profession and still getting my t**s out for the lads!!!”
