Denise Welch Is Friends With Husband Tim Healy's New Love

Denise Welch and Tim Healy are making their break-up look like a breeze after the Loose Women star revealed they are both friends with each other's new lovers.

The actress announced the end of her 23-year marriage to the Benidorm star live on the ITV lunchtime show last month.

She has moved on with toyboy lover Lincoln Townley, while Tim has met Joan Anderton, the cleaner of his local pub in Cheshire.

But rather than struggle to introduce their new partners to the family, the pair are taking it all in their stride.

Speaking to The Mirror, Denise said: "Tim’s moved on. The fact is, we are good friends. He’s spoken to Lincoln, I’ve spoken to Joan.

"We both knew about this situation and we’re still a family, we’ve just moved on.

"We’re trying to make it work. We’re not trying to be ‘the couple that makes splitting up work’. We’re not trying to say that. The kids are used to a physical separation. We’re still a family.”

And the actress couldn't help but boast about her younger lover, who at 39 is 14 years her junior.

She said: "I love him very much. It’s early days, we’re very happy and I love the bones of him."

Tim & his sons have kept a dignified silence,wish Ms .Welch would take a leaf out of their book,I have noticed she is less 'gobby' on 'loose woman'.wonder if the programme producers have told her ' it's not all about her'.I'm ashamed to refer to her as a 'geordie'.

Glad I live an ordinary possibly boring life, I certainly don't think I'm the cats whiskers like DW does.

Just send Denise Welch to the vets and have her put down like the feral cat she is before she spreads her poison any further and get her of the tv screens and out of the press.

Oh please go away, nobody is interested in this purile rubbish. Have sympthany for Tim for having his life dragged through the mire by such an objectionable woman who rightly derserves the reputation of "loose"
