Merry Christmas!


As promised here's the second of three festive treats.


Whilst Kylie Minogue may have landed the Christmas Number One - the most surprising entry in the running for top of the pops this year was Denise Welch. It marks the end of an extraordinary year which started in a very dark place, saw her die at least three times (according to social media), get lost flying over the Alps in a hot air balloon (it's a long story!) and get reinvented as the undisputed Queen of the Huns. When flags are being flown at Glastonbury featuring your name and face - you know you've become an icon.


In this extremely honest interview Denise talks about the highs and lows of 2025, her love of reality TV, her flirtation with a pop career and why she things everything has suddenly come good for her.


We've saved Noddy Holder for pudding on Christmas Day, and we'll be back with a brand new episode on New Year's Day.


Thanks as always for listening - have a fabulous festive season.

Cheers
