Celebrity Breakfast brought to you by Paramount Media Productions
The house is open – they have moved in – let the fun begin!
Throw away your new gym membership, ditch the New Year’s resolutions to not watch so much trashy TV and forget about your promise to spend more time with friends and family – Celebrity Big Brother is back and it’s here to take over your January.
As the house welcomes one of my best friends, Denise Welch along with some other ‘fun’ characters I think we are going to see one of the best yet!
Natalie Cassidy had to perform a task as soon as she entered the house and traditionally, housemates who have to do the first secret task do quite well but I think Denise will have a few tricks up her sleeve. I was excited when Denise told me she was going into the CBB house because she’s not going to hold back if someone gets on her nerves and she’s a very funny lady. Not only that, but she’s been on the showbiz circuit for over twenty years, and believe me she has some great gossip.
I recently spent a week in the Bahamas with her when we bid for a villa in a charity auction with a few other friends and just being herself she is pure entertainment – I laughed for a 
week!
It was nice to her close friend Pammie there to support her going in to the house and also fellow ‘Loose Women’ Andrea Mclean who I met recently in London studios when the ladies were filming a show – I couldn’t believe the hard work that actually goes into every show!
I know Denise was dreading going into the house as was her eldest son Matthew who told me he wasn’t too keen for his mum to go in – I suppose being a protective son as they are very close in case of back lash as the media can be cruel, however ‘Little Louis’ as I call him, Denise’s youngest son was very excited.
I told Denise I thought she would do well – just to be herself whom she always is and most of all enjoy the peace and quiet and not having to take 10,000 phone calls a day!
VOTE DENISE!!!!
Actress Denise Welch and her husband actor Tim Healy have been close family friends for as long as I can remember. Famous for his role in Auf Weidersehen Pet I remember as a youngster Tim’s renditions of the old football songs as he used to come over to the family house to go to watch some of the matches with Dad when his beloved Newcastle were playing at Old Trafford. Denise famous for her role in Coronation Street where she played the character Natalie Barns, landlady in the soap’s public house, The Rovers Return is more recently seen on the panel of Loose Women as well as trying her hand in the world of professional ice dancing in the hit show ‘Dancing on Ice’ with her lovely partner Matt Evers and then went on to do the dancing on ice tour.
Last month I flew out to the Bahamas with Denise and a small group of friendsto a villa she bid for at a charity event!! Tim was filming in Benidorm so couldn’t join us but we had a great time with Denise who entertained us for the week. It would have made a great TV reality show something similar to ‘Big Brother’ had there been a camera crew there, but probably a good job as you know what they say…what happens on holiday stays on holiday!!
Actor and singer Howard Keel, who played Clayton Farlow in the mega TV series Dallas which is to return to our screens next year had put his name to Europe’s biggest celebrity golf charity event here in the UK ‘The Howard Keel Golf Classic’.
