Denise Welch has broken down in tears live on air over her son Matty Healy, with her Loose Women co-stars rushing to comfort her.

Appearing on the ITV panel show on Tuesday (8 July), the 67-year-old became emotional when discussing motherhood, revealing her biggest parenting regret.

Welch said: “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.

Co-host Nadia Sawalha quickly comforted Welch, telling her how “powerful” she is, whilst Coleen Nolan handed her a tissue to wipe away her tears.
