The Loose Women panel were surprised on Thursday, as they realised ‘Denise’ wasn’t co-star Denise Welch’s full name
Loose Women star Denise Welch left her co-stars in disbelief on Thursday’s show, when she revealed what her real name was.
Charlene White and Frankie Bridge couldn’t believe ‘Denise’ wasn’t actually her first name, as Denise dropped the news.
During a segment about baby names and which parent had the final say when choosing a name for their child, Denise confessed her real name has caused her problems her whole life.
She confirmed her real name was Jacqueline Denise Welch, but that she’d always been called Denise since she was a child.
Speaking to her co-stars, including Jane Moore, the actress and TV star confessed it’s “annoying” effectively having two different names.

Despite everyone knowing her as Denise Welch, the star explained how this was not the name given to her when she was born, despite it being the name she goes by.
She explained: “My name… to be honest with the boys’ names, we both liked Max or Matthew, that was fine, he’s now Matty.
“And then Louis it’s just a name I’ve always loved, because mum and dad had a friend called Louis and their dad was very happy with that.”

She then surprised her co-stars, as she said: “But with me, I’m Jacqueline Denise.”
Frankie went: “Oh…” as a surprised Charlene asked: “So is Denise not your first name?”
Denise went on: “No, but I was never brought up as Jacquline. So my mother, according to dad, was going through a French phase and loved the idea of Jacqueline Denise.
“She’d been there once on a ferry and she thought Jacqueline Denise flowed better than Denise Jacqueline, which is so annoying because I’ve been brought up with that.”

“And it drives me mad. I have actually taken it off my passport but it is on certain things, and it is just really annoying. So don’t do that to your children.”
