Daisy May Cooper has opened up about her life in a new interview and shared the best piece of advice she’s ever been given – and it came from Loose Women legend Denise Welch
Daisy May Copper has revealed how Denise Welch once delivered the best advice she has ever received.
The This Country creator and star, who welcomed her third child into the world earlier this year, revealed all about her daily life in a brand new interview over the weekend – admitting an extreme diet once left her “smelling like rotting flesh”.
In the candid chat, Daisy, 38, revealed how her relationship with ex-husband Will Weston has changed since their divorce and how they co-parent her two eldest children. She also confessed to Facebook stalking boyfriend Anthony Huggins’ ex-girlfriend.
But it was when The Sunday Times asked the Never Mind the Buzzcocks team captain to share some pearls of wisdom that Daisy revealed Denise’s wisdom. “Best advice given?” Daisy answered with: “From Denise Welch, who said stopping drinking is life-changing.”
Denise has been open and honest about her battle with alcohol prior to getting sober over a decade ago. Celebrating 11 years booze-free in April 2023, Denise, 66, shared a side-by-side photo of herself on Twitter (X), showing her before and after her last drink, to mark the anniversary.
The Loose Women panellist also thanked her husband Lincoln for his support in her journey, who himself got sober alongside her. “11 yrs sober today! ! ” she captioned the picture. “My greatest achievement apart from Matty and Louis. Thank you to my husband @LincolnTownley for everything [red love hearty emoji]”

Denise had previously spoken about how alcohol “ruined [her] life for 15 years” before she became sober. She discussed her struggles with alcoholism and its impact on life, relationships, and mental health. Denise tweeted: “Alcohol is the most dangerous drug because it’s legal. Violence is fuelled by it. In most domestic abuse incidents alcohol is a major contributor. It is a major cause of anxiety and depression and yet we celebrate it everywhere. It ruined my life for 15 yrs.”
The former Coronation Street star once confided in the Mirror about the immense benefits she’s found in sobriety, so much so that going back to alcohol just isn’t appealing to her now. “I don’t have temptation any more because of what sobriety has given us,” she shared with a sense of pride, “Our careers and our families. That is so much more important. It’s not something we miss anymore.”In one of her memoirs, Denise explained how she is a retired party animal following her decision to get sober. “I can’t even tell you how un-party animal I am,” she penned. “I am happiest at home with my husband, watching true crime on television with a takeaway. That is my dream.”
