Denise Welch est une Actrice Britannique née le 22 mai 1958 à Ebchester (Royaume-uni)
Jacqueline Denise Welch (born 22 May 1958) is an English actress, dancer and television presenter. As an actress, she is best known for her roles as Natalie Barnes in Coronation Street and Steph Haydock in Waterloo Road. She was also known for her appearances as a regular panellist on the ITV lunchtime chat show Loose Women from 1999 until October 2013.
Welch was a contestant on Dancing on Ice in January 2011, where she was partnered with professional skater Matt Evers. In 2013, she competed in the ITV celebrity dancing show Stepping Out with her husband Lincoln Townley.
In January 2012, Welch was crowned the winner of the ninth series of Celebrity Big Brother.
A self-confessed alcoholic, sporadically throughout her adult life, Welch has suffered from Depression which was exacerbated by the birth of her first child. She tried to escape the pain by trying to jump out of the window of her flat, and subsequently fell into alcoholism and drug abuse. Welch confessed that she found it difficult to cope with the pressures that came with being in Coronation Street, once commenting "I don't know how I did that job. I was desperately ill for most of my time in the Street. It got so bad that I started drinking heavily. I thought it would be a quick-fix way of taking away the pain, but it exacerbated the depression. I could easily down a bottle of wine a day. Other days I would binge-drink until I blacked out. I was still taking anti-depressants and the alcohol would cancel these out—so when I did get an attack of depression it was much worse ... There were mornings when I can't tell you how hard it was to get up for work, and then, when I was on the set, I felt I couldn't say a line properly. I would watch an episode I'd been in and would hardly remember doing it. But the public never realised." Welch also admitted using cocaine while filming Coronation Street and hitting her husband's head with a lamp shade after a "drink-fuelled row".
Welch confessed that her marriage was nearly ruined because of her mental illness, as well as an affair she had during her depression. With the help of her former Coronation Street co-star Kevin Kennedy, she attended Alcoholics Anonymous and suggests this helped her end her dependency on alcohol. On 29 April 2010 her 320-page autobiography Pulling Myself Together was published, in which she describes how she overcame her problems with alcohol, drugs and depression. It became a best-seller in the UK.
In a February 2015 interview she said that she felt 'freer from my mental health issues in my 50s than I did in my 30s and 40s'.
