Loose Women presenter Denise Welch has responded to rumours of a rift with her co-hosts.
Denise, who joined the show in 2005, has said that despite the "feisty debates" she and the other women have on screen, she hasn’t "fallen out with any of them in 20 years".
Speaking to The Sun, Denise said: "I'm not afraid to be passionate and committed about something, we all have different views, we're great friends.

"I do get upset that people are trying to make out that we're always in some backstage feud. I haven't fallen out with any of them in 20 years – but we have very feisty debates."
Denise added: "It's a show that encourages and appreciates older women, so we're all going to be a bit set in our ways because we all have our own opinions."
Meanwhile, Denise’s co-host Kaye Adams recently got her first tattoo, revealing that she had "over twenty one" inked on her left forearm and documenting her journey on Instagram.

Kaye captioned her post: "I only went and did it! I teased I was going on the How To Be 60 podcast and I know most of you thought I wouldn't do it (to be fair so did I last night!) but I'm so glad I did.
"My mum will be up there rolling her eyes at [me] but I think deep down she'd be a little bit proud too!"
Loose Women airs weekdays on ITV.
