Denise Welch emotionally opened up about her mental health struggles, including postnatal depression, as she appeared on Good Morning Britain.
The Loose Women panellist, 64, reflected on how she experienced postnatal depression following the birth of her eldest, The 1975 frontman Matty Healy, as she discussed the long he later wrote about her struggles, titled She Lays Down.
Opening up to hosts Susanna Reid and Martin Lewis on Wednesday, 17 May, she said: "It was the most terrifying thing, and the reason we see tragic headlines is because people don't want to die, they want to stop the pain. "Had I not had my family, I was then married to Matty’s dad, I would not have survived. "Matty grew up knowing mummy had episodes of being poorly and when he was a successful performer he said, 'I've written this song for you'."
