On Monday’s instalment of Loose Women, ITV viewers tuned in to watch a very special Oscars-themed episode.

Loose Women’s Denise Welch was left emotional during Monday’s episode as the ITV star paid tribute to someone very special in her life. During the show, the panel was inspired by the most recent Oscars by wearing their most glamorous dresses.

Detailing the best supporting actor and actress category, Ruth Langsford told viewers it made the panel think about who was the biggest support in their own lives.

Denise Welch told her co-stars she was going to pick her husband, Lincoln. She said: “For a couple who met many years ago in a nightclub at six in the morning, that doesn’t open until four.

“We got sober together, we’ve been sober for 13 years this year and we’ve been married for 12. He is my rock and my best friend, and I couldn’t live without him.”

Denise was visibly moved while speaking about her husband as she abruptly stopped speaking as the audience burst into applause.

Ayda got up from her spot on the panel to go and give her mum a hug on the studio floor as everyone applauded. The ITV host explained her mum had been wearing a hat earlier that day because she didn’t like to show she has no hair.
