Denise Welch And Jared Leto Give Us Coachella's Most Random Moment Ever

Ultimate #SquadGoals

Coachella has a history of throwing up some unlikely moments, but the surprising union of Jared Leto and none other than Denise Welch has got to be up there with the best of them. 

Yes, you read that correctly - not only is former grande dame of 'Loose Women' and all-round fabulous human Denise Welch actually at Coachella, but she's cosying up to A-listers too. 

Random, huh?

Densy revealed she had been hanging out with the 'Dallas Buyers Club' actor and 30 Seconds To Mars frontman at the LA music festival, and it seems they're already BFFs.

She shared this picture of them together as they watched Denise's son Matt Healy perform with his band The 1975 together.

Posting it on Twitter she wrote: "Me and my new best friend... watching Matty !!! xx."

Amazing. 

Former 'Coronation Street' actress Denise jetted out to the US shortly after filming her upcoming guest stint in 'EastEnders'.

She's set to appear as Alison Slater, the mother of Albert Square newcomer Kyle Slater, in the coming weeks.

Speaking about her brief appearance on the BBC One soap, Denise said last month: “I’m thrilled to be part of such an iconic show. I have friends in the cast and can’t wait to start.

“It’s a short stint but such a powerful role and I’m thrilled to be taking it on.”

Denise previously appeared in rival soap 'Corrie', playing Rovers Return landlady Natalie Horrocks from 1997 to 2000. 

Meanwhile, Jared is gearing up for the release of his latest film 'Suicide Squad', which sees him take on the role of Batman villain the Joker, as a crew of comic book anti-heroes come together to execute dangerous black ops missions.
