Denise Welch found herself holding back tears during a heartfelt moment on Loose Women as she paid tribute to the unwavering support of her husband, Lincoln Townley.

The emotional segment aired on Monday’s episode, which carried a glamorous Oscars-inspired theme.
The panelists were dressed in elegant gowns as they discussed the importance of support systems,
leading Welch to open up about the profound role her husband has played in her life.

As the discussion turned to the topic of best supporting actors, co-host Ruth Langsford posed a thought-provoking question to the panel:

who has been their biggest supporter in life? For Welch, the answer was immediate—her husband, Lincoln.

A Love Story Rooted in Strength and Resilience
Reflecting on their relationship, Welch shared a glimpse into their unconventional love story. “For a couple who met many years ago in a nightclub at six in the morning, that doesn’t open until four,” she joked, bringing laughter to the panel. However, beneath the humor was a deep and moving testimony of love and perseverance.
Welch went on to reveal how she and Lincoln embarked on a life-changing journey together, finding strength in one another through sobriety. “We got sober together, we’ve been sober for 13 years this year and we’ve been married for 12. He is my rock and my best friend, and I couldn’t live without him,” she said, her voice thick with emotion.
Her touching words were met with applause from the audience, visibly affecting Welch as she momentarily paused, overwhelmed with emotion.
Ayda Field’s Heartfelt Tribute to Her Mother
The emotional tone of the episode had already been set earlier when fellow panelist Ayda Field delivered a poignant tribute to her mother, Gwen, who is currently battling cancer.
With her mother sitting in the audience, Field expressed her deep admiration and gratitude. “My mum is here, and I’m very grateful that my mum is here. For anyone who watches the show regularly, you will have heard me talk about my mum and her battle with cancer right now,” she shared.
As she spoke about the profound lessons her mother had taught her, Field’s voice wavered, her emotions becoming more evident. “My mum has always been my best friend, my fiercest rock, my sounding board, my steady eddy, my bestie. As you get older, the roles kind of change in how you navigate—” she trailed off as she caught sight of her mother wiping away tears in the audience.

Overcome with emotion, Field left her seat and walked over to embrace her mother, a touching moment that received a warm round of applause from both the panel and the audience.
She went on to share how her mother, initially self-conscious about losing her hair, had worn a hat to the show. However, Field reassured her, saying, “Actually, I think she looks so beautiful the way she is.”
Denise Welch’s Reflection on Her Own Mother
Welch, deeply moved by Field’s tribute, admitted that it had stirred memories of her own late mother. “Sorry, that just got me there because of my mum,” she said, her voice cracking with emotion.
Welch has always been open about her close relationship with her mother and the impact her passing had on her. Seeing Field’s touching moment with her mother brought back a flood of memories, making the moment even more powerful for the panelist.
Kelly Brook’s Surprise Moment with Husband Jeremy Parisi
To balance the heavy emotions of the episode, the show also featured a heartwarming surprise involving Kelly Brook and her husband, Jeremy Parisi.

Parisi unexpectedly appeared on set, presenting Brook with a bouquet of roses. The moment was met with smiles and laughter, with Brook jokingly exclaiming, “Thank God I chose you!” as he joined her on air. The sweet gesture lightened the mood and reminded everyone of the joy that love and companionship bring.
