Denise Welch slams 'complete lie' after heated clash with Stacey Solomon on Loose Women

ok.co.uk:

Denise Welch has vehemently dismissed rumours of an ongoing feud with her Loose Women co-star Stacey Solomon, following a heated on-air debate on remote working.

As live viewers witnessed the clash of opinions, online chatter quickly speculated that Denise and Stacey wouldn't appear together on the show again soon, fuelled by reports that Stacey had "refused" to work with Denise.

A month on from the incident, Denise, 66, debunked these reports in an interview on an American podcast, stating: "We had a discussion on a discussion show, where you're supposed to discuss things and maybe disagree." She further explained: "We disagreed on something, it was about young people and work ethic and since Covid, have Gen-Z become a bit more lazy and entitled, it was one of those kind of Loose Women things." She added: "Stacey said something about nurses and the NHS which provoked a great big reaction, and I actually agreed with her." Following false reports claiming that Sort Your Life Out star, Stacey, had refused to work with her again, Denise took to social media to quash this "complete lie.

She clarified on Scheananigans podcast: "We're encouraged to disagree about things, it's a talk show!" During the debate, mother-of-five Stacey, 35, argued that remote jobs with flexible hours are a boon for working families, especially those with children.
