Denise Welch mocks son Matty Healy's 'rubbish' life story as a struggling musician Denise Welch, the Loose Women star, has bluntly dismissed her rock star son Matt Healy's account of his past.
Denise jokingly recalled that whenever she and Matty's dad, the actor Tim Healy, ordered food, it would take ages to arrive - unless Matty was at home, in which case it would arrive promptly, reports the Manchester Evening News.
She laughed at how Matty, frontman of The 1975, downplayed his privileged upbringing, saying: "He told this story about how he slaved away laboriously working at Caffé Nero so that he could buy his first guitar.
Speaking on the My Favourite Takeaway podcast, Denise recalled: "He came back after a week and told me that he was going to get a certificate as the best trainee barista they'd ever had.
Matty Healy and his songwriting partner George Daniel, the drummer for the 1975, took on a part-time job delivering takeaways for their local Chinese restaurant to make ends meet.
