Denise bravely opened up about her battle with depression, which Denise calls her ‘unwelcome visitor,’ following a tough time late last year, before revealing that she ended up in hospital after flying back from a holiday in the Caribbean. Speaking to her fellow Loose Women panellists, Denise said: “I got back from a lovely holiday in the Caribbean last Saturday. All bronzed looking forward to coming on here and showing off my suntan. I got rushed into hospital on the Saturday with acute peritonitis – a perforated diverticulitis. “I’ve been in hospital for a drip for a week! They didn’t have to do surgery, they got it with antibiotics thankfully.”

She added that she’s recovering but still feeling the effects. She said: “I’m eating and believe you me, what’s going on down there, I’m a Loose Women – believe you me!” Denise recently opened up about her relationship with husband Lincoln Townley as the couple took part on Celebrity Hunted. When they tied the knot in 2013, their 14-year age difference caused quite the stir – yet, more than a decade on, they’re the ones chuckling. “We do have a good laugh,” admitted Denise. “The thing with us is that we take our business very seriously, but we don’t take ourselves seriously.

“There’s a balance there, which really works because we have a good laugh. We find humour in so many things together. I always thought there wouldn’t be one person that I fancy and be able to laugh with like I laugh with my girlfriends or my gay best friends. But I managed to find that in Lincoln. “I think laughter is very much a part of the success of our marriage and the very fact that I didn’t want to do Celebrity Hunted with anybody but my husband says it all.”
