Denise Welch has reacted to being named on the 'unlikely' celebrity crush list, along with other stars including her Loose Women colleague Ruth Langsford.
Giving a flavour of what to expect on Tuesday's edition of the lunchtime talk show to This Morning hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, Ruth said she was about to find out what she had in common with Denise.
Well, at the start of Loose Women she found out that thing was the fact that both of them made the top 10 'unlikely' celebrity crushes list compiled by Buzz Bingo.

The list of female stars who'd become the unlikely object of viewers' affections was topped by businesswoman and Apprentice mogul Karren Brady, while Pointless and House of Games star Richard Osman topped the male celebrity crush list.
It was Denise and Ruth's Loose Women co-star Coleen Nolan who delivered the news, with her saying: "Our very own Ruth has made a celebrity crush list. I think even the top ten."
Ruth appeared to be slightly offended at the connotations of making such a list and then learnt that she'd been beaten by the likes of Nicola Sturgeon and Priti Patel.
While not in the studio, Hollyoaks actress Denise sent a message with her reaction to making the list, in which she sarcastically declared: "I just want to say thank you to all of those people who voted me in the top 10 of the most unlikely celebrity crushes.
"It's always lovely to know that people are embarrassed about fancying you."
