dont see what the hell your moaning about, my comment was purely the fact that this bloody women knew her mother had cancer and most of the time a cancer victim knows when the end is near and this thing you so care about was doing other things, i have lost someone close to cancer and i was there for them, work and anything else didnt matter and i really dont see why she had to broadcast it so soon after the death, i think she is a vile person and needs to get her priorities right and keep off here and twitter

okay she is an attention seeker, at times emotionally instable and she was prepared to lose her Mum some day, as she says her Mum had cancer on and off I presume for 20 years but she still will be suffering deep inside like any one of us who has lost their Mum, Dad, brother, sister, son, daughter, grandson, grandaughter etc... No need to be insulting to her like some people are doing.

Is that NEWS?? We all have mums that died, And some of us that have lost mums through Cancer & other illnesses. I lost my Brother & Father through cancer, and my mum by another illness. I cannot see how this is news. Yes I feel sorry for anyone that has lost a mum, when they go it is such an trumatic time knowing she gave birth to you.

I'm very sorry her Mum has died especially after such a long battle with cancer. It is a shame her daughter couldn't have made her last few months more pleasant by keeping out of the limelight over her marital problems. In other words couldn't she have waited?, the anguish caused by the publicity cannot of helped ease Ms Welch's Mother's path from this world. As usual with these so called 'Celebrities' it's al Self, Self, Self.

I despair when I read many of the comments here, I can only say (not hope) that when many who have left sick unfeeling comments regarding someone whose mother has just died, it is possible when they face a similar bereavement their comments will come back to haunt them.

im sure some of the people on here have no heart n no life...im actually convinced the highlight of their day is trying to belittle people. denise welch is a down to earth fun loving person who enjoys life, im so sorry to hear her mum died i can only imagine what shes going through and certainly doesnt deserve any the nasty comments posted, personally i think the nasty comments are from people with no life of their own and jealous of the life denise has...just saying !!!

To all those who have made scathing comments about Denise Welch on this site, for pity's sake leave the woman alone. She has lost her mother after watching her suffer a terrible illness and now needs to be allowed time to grieve. So if you can't say anything constructive, then don't say anything at all.
