“A fucking pony attached to the Christmas tree” 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@carolinetobias7203]

I was also hysterical at this comment🤣🤣🤣

[@CarolineHirons01]

True story. Might still happen. 😆

[@GoDanielSmith]

What an absolute NATIONAL TREASURE Denise Welch is... I know that title is batted about too often these days but she really is - not only for her incredible talents, but also for her support against mental health

[@AnnemarieBradshaw]

I don’t always agree with Denise , but I’ve always admired her . This interview was amazing . She has such a way of telling a story , her story . She’s funny, open, honest and humble. Loved this! ❤️

[@sarahabbott-gn4dp]

What a great interview. I could listen to her life stories all day. She's one of my favourites on Loose Women. I love the honesty about her depression. This lady has truly lead an extraordinary life. I'm so glad she's clean and happy now. ❤

[@ilaria9715]

I am not from the UK so I wasn’t familiar with Mrs. Denise Welch but oh my god what a woman. The way she meticulously described what depression is and does is something I have always felt, but was never able to put into words as eloquently as she did. Such a vital discussion to be had anytime anywhere. Absolutely brilliant 🙌🏻

[@angieskillen]

Oh my god I’ve just had to stop this when Denise talked about the metallic taste in her mouth and the pins and needles feeling in her hands. This is exactly what happens to me when my depression takes hold. It’s also a sign of an oncoming anxiety attack for me. That was how my husband knew something was wrong and without saying a word he would just gently take hold of my hand and start walking away from whatever place or situation I was in. I’ve never heard anyone else explain it like this and was starting to think it was just me. Thank you Denise ❤

Lifelong sufferer of vertigo and FINALLY people who are "names" are talking about it and making people like me feel less alone so thank you.

[@CarolineHirons01]

It’s so horrendous. X

[@xxsid1979xx]

@@CarolineHirons01 Truly. And yes, head colds make it worse! I find steaming regularly and using NeilMed sinus rinse and a nasal spray when a headcold comes on can really help kee the vertigo at bay.

[@janicesmith4175]

The description of the first depression experience was outstanding. I’ve listened to Denise describing her experience for years but this was so informative. Thank God for her Mum that day and the time she was there, ❤️❤️

[@danihalling9734]

Denise is an absolute icon!!!🌞

[@sharongalloway3966]

I have always loved Denise. Loved her acting, and love her on Loose Woman, but I have absolutely loved this chat. What a remarkable woman. I love how passionate and honest she is. I get how you are both friendly as you are so alike 😂😂 ❤❤ xx

[@alicevoseckova1515]

[@CarnivoreHelen]

Denise & Nadia are my favourite loose women love how real they are

[@janefriel6895]

I totally agree with Denise regarding Katie Hopkins.

[@salli786]

It happened to me! I woke up one day 20 weeks pregnant, washed my face and my face looked black/blue ! And nobody believed me! At last I have someone to relate to.

[@shereejadelawrencebowman1395]

Very interesting to hear about Denise’s medical history. It’s sad how the medical profession let her down. There’s got to be better alternatives. 🙏🏽
