Loose Women star Denise Welch shared her excitement over a huge family milestone on Wednesday
Loose Women star Denise Welch said she was "incredibly proud" as she marked a huge family milestone on Wednesday (June 25).
During today's edition of the hit ITV programme, Denise and her co-stars Kaye Adams, Kelly Brook and Janet Street-Porter discussed the latest headlines from across the UK and around the world.
They addressed the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, celebrity weddings, and spoke to Vogue model Ellie Goldstein.
Talk soon turned to this year's Glastonbury as thousands of people descend on Worthy Farm ahead of this weekend's festival.
The gates were opened today by festival founder Michael Eavis and his daughter, Emily.
On Loose Women, Denise shared her pride at her son Matty Healy's band, The 1975, headlining the Pyramid Stage on Friday (June 27) night.
"For those who don't know, my son is the lead singer of The 1975 and they are headlining Glastonbury on Friday," she said, as the audience erupted into applause.
"Obviously, I'm an incredibly proud mum cause you've got to remember the band have been together for 23 years. They started in our garage as 12 and 13 year old boys. So, some of the songs they'll be playing, Matty was writing at 15 and 16. I still don't know the lyrics, but anyway."
Denise went on to share her excitement at seeing her son perform, but was nervous about other aspects of the festival.
"I'm hugely excited, but I'm not a festival person. I have never, over the years, seen all those hordes going into Glastonbury and think, 'Please, it's so fun'," she explained.
"It's so stressful. And although I am going, cause obviously I've insisted I am going as VIP as I can."
Denise concluded: "I'm excited and I'm not camping, and Matthew you heard... limos."
The 1975 will perform the first headline performance on Friday night, followed by Canadian rocker Neil Young on Saturday and US pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo on Sunday.
Hundreds of other performances will take place across the week, including sets from Charli XCX, Raye, Gracie Abrams and Noah Kahan.
A host of presenters will bring coverage of the festival to the BBC, including Clara Amfo, Lauren Laverne, Jo Whiley, Huw Stephens and Jack Saunders.
Loose Women airs weekdays on ITV1 and ITVX at 12.30pm
