Denise Welch in swipe at Loose Women co-star - after on-air row with Stacey Solomon

ok.co.uk:

Denise Welch didn't hold back as she took a cheeky dig at her Loose Women colleagues following an on-screen row with Stacey Solomon.

Despite brushing off any talk of a feud, Denise hinted at some off-air friction during her appearance on Olivia Attwood's podcast So Wrong It's Right.

The 66 year old shared: "I’m always happy to have new blood on (Loose Women) because we do get bored of each other. But I’ve always been sceptical when younger people come in because, sometimes, they may have a great life story but they are either not prepared to talk about it yet, or are too worried about what the public are going to say." She then revealed some backstage drama and said: "So they'll be in a meeting saying 'I'm not going to talk about that,' and it's kind of like, 'What are you gonna talk about then?'" Stacey, who joined the panel in 2016 and is among its younger faces alongside Katie Piper and Frankie Bridge, was at the centre of Denise's remarks following their heated exchange earlier in the year.

In the fiery June debate, Stacey, 34, stood up for those working flexible hours post-pandemic, butting heads with Denise who argued that the nation was "grinding to a halt" with workers "disappeared".
