Denise Welch left her Loose Women co-stars speechless after making a very x-rated confession about her sex life with husband Lincoln Townley

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.”

After the initial shock, Charlene regained her composure while Brenda displayed an embarrassed reaction – Katie, however, laughed at the risque revelation.

Just over a week after her 66th birthday bash on Wednesday, 22 May, Denise turned heads as she celebrated becoming a “pensioner” in true style. The TV star was spotted dancing on a cruise ship deck, rocking a sizzling red Baywatch-style swimsuit that certainly raised temperatures.

Denise, who is the proud mum of The 1975’s lead singer Matty Healy, 35, was captured grooving under the sun in a holiday video, sporting chic white and gold-heeled wedges. Smiling broadly for the camera, she shared a heartfelt Instagram post to commemorate her special day.
