Denise Welch jokes she was 'cougar' who took Prince Harry's virginity in wild Loose Women segment

Denise Welch was quick to make her fellow Loose Women panellists and the live studio audience cackle yesterday, in an interesting segment revolving around Prince Harry's virginity.

In his new book Spare, which comes out on Tuesday, the Prince allegedly talks about being a 17-year-old student when he lost his virginity. In the book, Harry also reportedly details that he lost his virginity to an older woman 'in a field, just behind a very busy pub'.

And while the full material has yet to have been officially released, a blunder in Spain earlier this week saw copies sold prematurely abroad - leading to translated excerpts becoming leaked worldwide.

The Star reports that Discussing the claims on Loose Women on Friday, January 5, the panel of beloved TV personalities were speculating who the older woman might be.

Kaye Adams was at the helm of the panel which included Denise Welch, Frankie Bridge and Judi Love, when she brought up the topic of Prince Harry's virginity. In his bombshell memoir, the Duke of Sussex details his first sexual encounter with an unknown cougar which took place in a field.

When Kaye explained how in the memoir the Prince spoke of 'losing his virginity to an older woman', Denise was quick to cheekily blurt out 'sorry' - insinuating that she might be the unknown cougar Harry mentions in his memoir.

The Loose Women all burst out laughing, as did the studio audience, before Kaye said: "Well, well, given that confession, let me continue."

She then read some of the extract where Harry recalled his sexual encounter with the unknown cougar, while the Loose Women panellists laughed and Denise smouldered. Harry reportedly wrote in his memoir: "I suspected he was referring to my recent loss of virginity, a humiliating episode with an older woman who liked macho horses and who treated me like a young stallion."

He added: "One of my many mistakes was letting it happen in a field, just behind a very busy pub. No doubt someone had seen us."

Loose Women airs weekdays on ITV1 and ITVX at 12:30.
