Loose Women star Denise Welch has admitted she’d ended up ‘s****ing’ herself after flying out to New York to see her eldest son and The 1975 frontman Matty Healy perform in Madison Square Garden

Loose Women star Denise Welch admits she suffered an embarrassing mishap after a trip to New York with her family last year.

The 65-year-old presenter shared that she visited the States to see her famous son Matty Healy, who is a frontman for the band The 1975, perform at Madison Square Garden. When she returned home from the star-studded event, the TV star says she was left red-faced after her husband realised there’d been stain marks on her cream trousers.

Denise laid bare the unfortunate incident in an interview with The Guardian. When asked to recall the most embarrassing moment in her life, Denise said: “S******* myself in New York last November. I was wearing cream trousers. We were going to see my son Matty and his band, the 1975, at Madison Square Garden, and I was walking through the streets, enjoying the sunshine, pretending I was in some kind of video – throwing my hat into the New York sky like Mary Tyler Moore.”

She continued: “I saw a couple of people turn and look at me. Now, although I’m not famous in New York, whenever Matty’s there I do get recognised as his mum, so I’m smiling and waving at them. I went back to the hotel room and bent over to get something out of the suitcase, and my husband said: ‘Do you realise you’ve shat yourself?'”

It comes after the TV presenter revealed that she would “never forgive” her son for missing her wedding to current husband Lincoln Townley. The former Coronation Street star explained the musician had to skip the special event because it clashed with an extremely important show.

“Matty, my Matthew, he missed my wedding to Lincoln. I remember when he called me I was doing a play. And he said ‘Mum what would you say if I told you I can’t make your wedding?’ It was 10 years ago. “And I said, ‘I would never forgive you,’ and he said, ‘Even if I was supporting the Rolling Stones at Hyde Park?’

Despite being hurt, Denise understood his dilemma and gave her blessing for Matthew to pursue the opportunity. “It hurt me, but I completely understood. It was a dilemma for both of us and it was hard. But I would have never of said ‘You’ve got to,’ because the band was [on the rise],” Denise added.

She now says the two are able to joke about the situation, expressing: “This is why it became a bit of a joke because years ago when they were just four teenagers making a lot of noise in the garage. I used to say ‘Get a job! Unless you are supporting the Rolling Stones get a job’.”

Opening up about his marriage to Denise, Lincoln said: “My most brilliant achievement was persuading Denise to marry me. I turned 40 last year and I have never met anyone like Denise, never been close to anyone like Denise, never loved anyone like I do Denise,” The couple married back in 2013 and have been together ever since.
