Loose Women star Denise Welch appeared on Watch What Happens Live! with Andy Cohen where she debuted a brand-new ‘transatlantic accent’

Denise Welch has left fans baffled after she unveiled a brand-new accent while being interviewed on a US talkshow. The Loose Women panellist appeared on Watch What Happens Live! with Andy Cohen where she debuted her seemingly new accent.

The TV star, 67, has been accused of making her accent ‘non-binary’ and ‘more posh’ by fans on X who have commented on the now viral clip of Denise, 67, sharing her support for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after revealing what she really thinks of Taylor Swift.

In the clip, Denise was asked what the UK’s general opinion is on Harry and Meghan as it stands today. In response, Denise insisted that she is the only panelist on Loose Women who supports and likes the former Royals – but it was were new dulcet tones that got viewers talking rather than her thoughts on the couple.

“Well, I have a very different view to a lot of people. On the show that I do at home, called Loose Women, I’m the only one who flies the Prince Harry and Meghan flag and I know them. I’ve met a few of the Royals over the years but I have never met them.

“I just think that the amount of bullying by the press, both British and American, that that woman gets…. Remember she was in those rooms as a young black American woman. She had a big voice in Unicef and in the United Nations and she was in a lot of those big rooms before Harry was.

“I just kind of try to fly the flag a bit. You’ve got to remember that this is a boy who was forced at 12-years-old to walk behind his mother’s coffin. His dad had been unfaithful and he grew up in that world. I think for him to want to say his piece is something quite admirable.”

After speaking with Andy Cohen, social media users pointed out Denise’s sudden change in accent. Taking to X, one wrote: “So why has Denise completely changed her accent? She sounds so much more posh. Trying to impress I see.” Another questioned: “What happened to her accent? WTF.”

“I can’t get over Denise’s new non-binary accent. Her diversity. We’ve lost her to the states I fear,” another joked. Someone else echoed: “She has a transatlantic accent.” And another mocked: “I thought this was AI.”

Elsewhere in the interview, the TV star didn’t hold back as she shared her thoughts on her son Matty Healy’s brief romance with Taylor Swift. Denise was asked about her famous son Matty who is the lead singer of The 1975.

Denise was immediately asked about his relationship with Taylor, and specifically, what she thought about the pop star’s Tortured Poets Department album. Taylor, who is dating Travis Kelce, is known to write songs about her high-profile relationships and fans dissected the album to figure out which tracks were written about Matty.

Denise seemingly claimed Taylor’s fans hit out at any person who dares to criticise the 35-year-old pop star. When Andy asked what she thought of the hit album, Denise said: “Obviously, on pain of death can I talk about that episode, but not being her mother-in-law is a role that I am glad that I lost.”

The straightforward comment shocked everyone in the room, including Andy. She quickly tried to calm things down as she added: “Not that I have anything against her at all! It was just – it was tricky.”

She then suggested it’s difficult to comment on anything to do with Taylor, as her fans would negatively react to it. “She – listen, you’re not allowed to say anything, and then she writes a whole album about it,” Denise explained.

Denise said that Matty has taken the album’s personal tracks ‘all in completely good grace,’ and added: “He’s very happy with his amazing fiancée Gabriella,” referring to singer Gabbriette. “So we’ve moved on,” the ITV presenter said.
