Denise Welch in mental health ‘collapse’

“I ploughed on and started the pantomime and within three days I collapsed in the foyer of the hotel I was staying in. I got back to the room and said to my agent you’ve got to pull me out,” she shared.

Denise then added: “I was so terrified of the reaction, but my agent phoned the company manager of the panto and the first thing he said was: ‘Is she on her own? Does she want me to go and be with her?'” Denise revealed, fighting back tears.

“They called me a car and I was going home and I got to rest and recuperate and get well.”
