ITV Loose Women star shares health update as she returns to show after collapse The Loose Women panel welcomed back their colleague as she returned to the programme after taking time out to focus on her well being after collapsing and being hospitalised.
Opening up the show, Denise said: "I ploughed on and I started the pantomime, within three days I collapsed in the foyer of the hotel I was staying in and I got back to the room and I said to my agent 'you've got to pull me out'.".
Despite trying to battle on, it all became too much for Denise and she ended up "collapsing" before the pantomime kicked off, resulting in the star being replaced from the production and taking a back-step from her Loose Women duties too.
Denise explained that she was also due to return to her ITV post last week but as she readied to come back was once again taken ill and to hospital, with acute peratinital perforated diverticulitis.
The former soap star had to pull out of playing Captain Hook in the 2024 Peter Pan pantomime at Nottingham Theatre Royal due to ill health, with Richard Winsor needing to step in to replace her.
