Loose Women star Denise Welch awoke to "huge, sprawling flames" after her stalker set her house on fire back in 2020.The terrifying ordeal came to an end for her when the perpetrator was finally jailed earlier this month for seven years and seven months.The arson attack on her £1 million home was part of what was described as a six month reign of terror.Stalker Toraq Wyngard struck after she and husband Lincoln Townley had opted for an early night at around 10pm, leaving his son Lewis and her brother-in-law Duncan downstairs watching movies."Suddenly, I heard Lincoln screaming.

I ran downstairs in my pyjamas and saw huge sprawling flames outside the house," Denise recalled.Fortunately, a local had seen the blaze as she was driving past and had been able to knock on the door to alert the family.Without this act of kindness, Denise doubts she would still be here today.Lincoln sprang into action and started to move her car away from the driveway - and he was just in time."Within seconds of him moving it, flames started spreading rapidly, they would have caught my car and the whole thing would have gone up and exploded," she revealed.Denise was forced to watch helplessly as the blaze spread to her garage, which went up in flames.The episode caused several thousands of pounds worth of damage and Toraq was found nearby after the attack in September 2020, carrying a knife in his rucksack.The incident caused lasting psychological trauma to Denise, who struggled to sleep afterwards and suffered terrorising nightmares.She shelled out extra money on security for her home, but could not shake her feeling of uneasiness that the attack might be repeated.Her stalker was initially released under investigation, forcing Lincoln to walk.
