Denise Welch has openly discussed her 'infidelities' in past relationships during a conversation about cheating on Loose Women.The 66 year old admitted 'it was no secret' that she had previously been unfaithful, with her affairs making headlines in the past.
Speaking to fellow Loose Women panellists Kaye Adams, Olivia Attwood and Nadia Sawalha on Thursday (31 October), Denise said: "People feel generally that women cheat for emotional reasons and there's an absolute valid reason why they cheat.
I do agree I think there are double standards, however when I admitted to my own infidelities I was treated like literally the wicked witch of the west, certainly by the media in this country and by a lot of the public." She added: "Probably quite rightly so, but I think that there are double standards." Olivia also shared her own thoughts on the matter and said: "I will wholeheartedly admit that me and my friendship group, we have double standards. "If we're talking about a scenario that's happened on a night out and someone's flirting with a boy or whatever.The next day they go, 'I shouldn't have really been speaking to him,' we all go, 'listen, you've had a really big week at work, you've been up to your eyes in it and he's not been paying you any attention'. "On the reverse, if we heard one of the guys had done that we would be like 'disgusting, he's an animal' but then we laugh at ourselves because we know we do it." Denise has been happily married to Lincoln Townley since 2013 and before was married to Tim Healy from 1988 to 2012.The TV star welcomed two sons with her ex-husband, The 1975 star Matty, 35, and actor Louis, 23.
