Denise Welch admits it's 'an honour' after landing important ITV Emmerdale storyline Denise Welch has said she "thoroughly enjoyed" playing a juror in soap opera Emmerdale, describing her appearance as "an honour".
The 66-year-old, who made her name as Natalie Barnes in Coronation Street, will play head juror Heidi as Tom King appears in court over the domestic abuse of his wife Belle Dingle in Wednesday’s episode of the ITV show.
At Loose Women, wearing my other hat, we launched our Facing It Together campaign this year which has been hugely successful in shining a light on all sorts of abuse including of course coercive control so the subject matter is one I’m passionate about.
Speaking of her appearance on the show, Welch said: “I thoroughly enjoyed shooting this important episode of Emmerdale.
Speaking previously about her new role, Denise excitedly told the audience and her fellow Loose Women panellists: "I'm going to be in Emmerdale!".
