Denise Welch forced to apologise after breaking rule on ITV Loose Women in heated Prince Harry chat after denying feud

Denise Welch was forced to apologise after she accidentally swore during another heated Prince Harry debate on Loose Women. The TV star was back on the panel of the ITV lunchtime show on Friday (January 6) alongside Kaye Adams, Judi Love, and Frankie Bridge.

The four-piece were again keen to discuss the latest headlines surrounding the Duke of Sussex. More extracts from Harry's memoir, due to be released next week, have been released as well as more trailers for his upcoming interviews ahead of her book's publication - one with ITV and one with CBS News in America.

But as they spoke about the duke's latest revelations - which include him killing 25 people while serving as an Apache helicopter pilot in Afghanistan and losing his virginity to an older woman in a field behind a pub - Denise's emotion came to the surface as she talked about the stories deflecting from the government’s failures.

"I know as someone who suffers from clinical depression - you push everything down and one day, it's going to explode and I feel that he now wants to right some wrongs and this is what he has done," Denise said.

"However, on the other side of things, there will be at least 64 articles on Prince Harry today in the papers, all the while the government is getting away with b***dy murder." Quickly realising she broke the golden rules of daytime TV, she added: "Oh, excuse me for swearing."

She then went on: "While we're talking about Harry and Meghan every day, we should be talking about all the mistakes that the government made in the last three years - all the PPE, all the huge mistakes that happened. Things that we are having to pay for with our tax money - that's what we should be talking about."

It comes after Denise denied there was a feud between herself and one of her Loose Women co-stars as another discussion about the royals got quite argumentative live on air.

The previous row came after the first extract from Harry's memoir, titled Spare, was leaked, in which the Duke of Sussex claimed his brother William, now the Prince of Wales, "attacked" him in 2019 over his marriage to Meghan Markle.

Speaking about the sensational claims on Loose Women, Jane said the claims were "hurtful" to read, especially as they have now entered the public domain. But Denise hit back: "Why shouldn’t Harry say his piece, Jane? I think he’s had to move away from a family – they’ve done it behind his back."

Jane then quickly cut in and insisted that Harry was "using [his family] to make money” causing Denise to to respond as Jane warned: "Don’t interrupt me." As their verbal on-air tussle hit the headlines. Denise retweeted one story that read: "Loose Women turned feisty.”

She replied: "Yes it did," however, she appeared to deny that doesn't mean the pair aren't firm pals behind the scenes, adding: "But we’re also best friends for 30 years!!!"
