Kerry Katona reckons her pal and former Loose Women co-star Denise Welch would be a great mum-in-law to Taylor Swift as the singer’s rumoured romance with the actress’ son Matt Healy is hotting up

Denise Welch would be a “bloody great” mother-in-law to Taylor Swift, according to Kerry Katona.

The Coronation Street star’s son Matt Healy, 34, is rumoured to be romancing the Bad Blood star, 33, who is currently on tour with the musician in Nashville.

Fans have been a bit unkind about the prospect of actor Tim Healy, 71, and Denise, 64, being Taylor’s parents-in-law, with one reportedly tweeting they found the possibility “very, very, funny.”

But Denise’s Loose Women co-host Kerry, 42, thinks the singer would be lucky to have her pal in her life.

She said: “I think they make a nice couple. Imagine Denise as Taylor’s mother-in-law – she’d be bloody great!

“I’m a big fan of Taylor, I think she’s brilliant and I love her songs and music videos.

The pair met in January
“I think she handles herself really well, especially that time Kanye West tried to steal her thunder when she accepted her award at the VMAs,” she wrote in her OK! column.

According to The Sun, Benidorm actor Tim responded to a troll who said the idea of him and Denise being related to Taylor was ‘funny’ with “Why?”

His son’s relationship with the pop star was reported this week, soon after her split from boyfriend of six years Joe Alwin was announced.

It is reported the actor “struggled with Taylor’s level of fame and the attention from the public”, which is why they parted ways.

But Matt was seen swooning as he watched his rumoured girlfriend at one of her concerts recently.

The singer was in the VIP area with Taylor’s friend Gigi Hadid on Saturday night when he put his hand to his chest and smiled up at the sky with his eyes closed, during the star’s Nashville gig.

It’s been widely reported Matt and Taylor are “madly in love”, with past reports saying they would step out together in Nashville – which has proved to be true.

The two met in January while backstage at a 1975 concert at The O2 in London.

The Love Story hitmaker appeared on stage with the band as a special guest and then posed for a snap with the Corrie star, which Denise shared to her Instagram.

The actress was inundated with comments on the post, including from Hollyoaks star Nadine Mulkerrin who said: “You’re such a legend hanging out with Taylor.”

Meanwhile, Former X Factor presenter Kate Thornton added: “Please tell me you and Taylor are now friends? X.”
