Denise Welch 'Moving In With Toyboy Lover'

Loose Women star Denise Welch is planning to move in with her toyboy lover Lincoln Townley after splitting from husband Tim Healy.

The 53-year-old Celebrity Big Brother winner has told the 39-year-old party planner that she wants to make a go of their relationship.

The pair had a romantic dinner at Hakkasan restaurant in Mayfair, London this week, as Denise prepares to tour the UK with the stage show Steel Magnolias in April.

A friend told The Mirror: "Denise is rehearsing in London for a few weeks before the tour kicks off and she thought it would be the perfect opportunity to stay with Lincoln and see how they get on living together.

"Lincoln was made up when Denise mentioned it and he is looking forward to her moving in for those weeks. They both want it to work and maybe it will be a permanent arrangement."

Following a nine-month affair with Lincoln, Denise announced on Loose Women earlier this month that her 23-year marriage to Auf Wiedersehen, Pet star Tim was over.
