Tim Healy, Denise Welch's Ex Husband, Finds Love In His Local

Benidorm star Tim Healy has tidied up in the love stakes since separating from Denise Welch - he is dating a cleaner he met in a pub.

The Loose Women presenter announced she had ended her 23-year marriage to Tim in a tear-stained confession live on TV last month.

The actress swiftly made her romance with toyboy lover Lincoln Townley public by flaunting him on the showbiz party scene, but the former Auf Wiedersehen, Pet actor is not crying into his pint over the split - because he has found love in his local.

Tim is head-over-heels for Joan Anderton, 50, who works in a cafe and cleans his favourite boozer in Cheshire, according to The Sun.

A source tells the paper: "Tim has been spending a lot of time in the pub so it's not surprising it's where he met his girlfriend.

"They met a few months ago. She's a down-to-earth mum who's done various jobs, from cleaning to working in a cafe.

"They seem really happy. Tim never craved the partying lifestyle Denise enjoys. Joan has a grown-up son who lives with her, but she's been single for a long time.

"Denise and Tim still live together but we won't be surprised if things change. Joan lives in a small semi a couple of miles away from him. His car is sometimes parked outside."

Good for him that he has found a companion. But can we now let them all have private lives I do not wish to hear any more sordid details.

Great news, Tim deserves to be happy. Nothing wrong with being a cleaner ..... we all have to clean. Hope they will both be very happy together.

If you are ''so in love'' why do you want to leave.Unless there is someone new on the scene. What a lot of nonsense!!!

Oh God! I thought we had run out of stories about his wife but now it seems we are going the same way with him. A pair of near alcoholic z listers who will do anything to self promote.

They still live together, I read the other day that she has set up house with her toyboy Lincoln in London. Good luck Tim the women you have found has to be better than Denise and you are well rid of her. I wish you happiness Tim and a peaceful future. I see the children still want to stay with Tim, that tells you something about their mother - Denise Welch.
