Wild woman! Denise Welch becomes a hard-partying

She reformed her former hard-partying ways since becoming engaged to Lincoln Townley last year.
However, in Denise Welch's latest stage role, she reverts to some of her wild ways - and perhaps even worse behaviour.
The former Coronation Street actress,54, plays tattooed, foul-mouthed Cath Robinson in the new production of Smack Family Robinson.

 

Rocking out: Denise Welch as Cath and Keith Allen as Gavin in the Smack Family Robinson at the Rose Theatre in Kingston

The Loose Women star stars alongside Keith Allen, who plays her retired drug dealer husband Gavin.
For her role as Cath, who runs a money laundering service through her florists, Denise wears a low-cut red vest and has been wearing tattoo transfers on her cleavage.
Earlier on Tuesday's Loose Women, she flashed one of her transfers, admitting she probably should have scrubbed it off already.

 

Wild: The black comedy, with its foul language, isn't suitable for sensitive theatregoers

She said: 'I should have washed that off in the shower... That gives a lot away.'
The play, written by Richard Bean - author of One Man, Two Guvnors, is directed by Richard Wilson and opened at Kingston's Rose Theatre last Thursday.
The black comedy stars Keith and Denise as a middle-aged couple who have run a successful family business as drug dealers since the 1960s.

 

Chemistry: Keith and Denise share a laugh on stage

However, things take an interesting turn when their eldest son Sean takes over the family business and their different way of working soon attracts attention from the local police.
As well as Keith and Denise, the play also stars Harry Potter actor Harry Melling, Kate Lamb and Mattew Wilson.
Smack Family Robinson runs from now until 20 April. For more information, visit the Rose Theatre website.
