Denise Welch makes sad confession on Loose Women
On Loose Women on Tuesday (July 8), the panel spoke about a current viral trend that involves people attempting to appreciate life in the moment.
The show aired a clip from the Lise And Sarah Podcast that saw the co-host read out: “I’m 80 years old and somehow I woke up in my 38-year-old body. Just for one day.
“‘Mummy, wake up!’ they shout. I blink, I sit up slowly, my babies, they are small again. I gasp, I cry, they climb into bed giggling, wiggling… I used to rush through mornings. But not today.”

Denise wishes she could ‘re-do’ Matty’s childhood
After watching the clip, Denise – who shares two sons Matty, 34, and Louis, 24, with ex-husband Tim Healy – candidly opened up about her biggest parenting regret.
We did the best we could.
“When you do reflect, you have to forgive yourself, we were all very busy and we didn’t have a handbook. We did the best we could,” Denise shared.
She added: “I always get emotional. Because I wish I could re-do bits of, particularly, Matty’s childhood, because I was coping with addictions and self-medicating.”
Denise has been candid about her battles with addiction during her younger years. She is now 13 years sober.

However, on Loose Women, Denise then stopped her sentence as she welled up.
Co-star Nadia Sawalha supported her and said: “You are the most present, proud, adoring mum and to get well from addiction is incredibly rare.
“To be able to do it day after day after day. So much of what you do, you and Lincoln [her husband], it’s so powerful. Another reason you have to forgive yourself, because that will be great for your kids.”
Picking up a tissue and wiping her eyes, Denise replied: “We’re so close, I just wish I could do it again.”
Nadia then told her: “Look how you are now! Look how are you now, you’re so present. You telling great stories about your kids, you shine with pride.”
