Denise Welch has shared some pre-wedding details after travelling to California to spend some time with her son Matty Healy’s fiancée’s family.

The TV star, 66, who is a proud mum to 1975 singer Matty, 35, spoke about her trip on Wednesday’s Loose Women. Matty proposed to Gabbriette Bechtel last month and Denise flew out to the US to meet and spend some time with her future daughter-in-law’s loved ones last month.

Speaking on Wednesday’s Loose Women, Denise’s co-star, Kaye Adams, said: “Now, Denise, you spoke a couple of weeks ago about your son Matty’s engagement to his fiancée Gabby. Very exciting, of course, you’ve been doing some pre-wedding schmoozing with the in-laws!”

Denise then explained: “We went over to LA to see Matty and Gabby and celebrate the engagement. Gabby is so busy modelling and she’s very hot right now, which is fabulous, so she couldn’t join us. So we went up to see her mum and dad, who we had met once before, Chayo and Gary, we absolutely adore them!”

Denise spent some time in Laguna Beach with Gabbritte’s mum last month, and shared some sweet snaps of her extended family. It comes as Denise said she was feeling “blessed” after the announcement of son Matty’s engagement to Gabbriette.

Loose Women panellist Denise previously confirmed the news of her son’s engagement after Gabbriette posted a series of snaps on Instagram revealing the news to fans while she and Matty supported friend Charli XCX in concert. Gabbriette posted a picture of her black diamond engagement ring and tagged Matty’s Instagram account with the caption: “Marrying The 1975 is very brat,” in reference to Charli XCX’s new album.

After confirming the news on Loose Women last month, Denise shared a lengthy Instagram post revealing she feels “blessed” over the news. She wrote: “What a day!!! I wake up to find that @gabbriette and Matty had gone Instagram official on their engagement so I was able to tell everyone!!!

“I’m so happy to be blessed with a wonderful daughter in law to be and to share this news with @chayobechtel and @gary.bechtel . Then @robbiewilliams popped by @loosewomen to say hi to his wife @aydafieldwilliams and ended up joining the panel!! It was so lovely to see him as we go back years but he hadn’t planned on being on telly so hadn’t washed off his spray tan!!! Anyway, we ended up spooning in the corridor wearing our matching co ords!! All in a days work.”

On Loose Women, Denise was previously quizzed on the news that Gabbriette would soon become her daughter-in-law. She said: “I have known for a few weeks that Matty got engaged. They went over to see their friends Charli and George in New York. I woke up this morning to the fact they’ve put it on Instagram. Instagram official, he has got engaged to Gabbriette. Black diamond, he had it made for her and I couldn’t be more thrilled.

“She is from Los Angeles, she is absolutely gorgeous, she does have a rat. We couldn’t be happier, she is everything that I would want in a daughter in law.” Earlier this year, Matty was pictured introducing Gabbriette to his family. The couple supported Denise at her theatre stint in Manchester. The American singer spent time with Matty’s family at the show, including his younger brother Louis Healy, 22, their father Tim Healy, 72, and his wife Joan Anderton, 62.

Denise shared a snap of them all together and wrote in the caption of the post: “Lovely to have the family in to see mum at work!!!” Matty, who is the son of Denise and Tim Healy, started dating Gabbriette last September. She is the lead singer of punk rock band Nasty Cherry while he is the frontman of The 1975.

Their romance came after the high profile fling between Matty and pop star Taylor Swift. Taylor has since gone on to enjoy a high-profile relationship with Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce.
