Loose Women: Denise Welch calls Corrie's Kevin Webster 'worst kiss ever'

Loose Women's Denise Welch has called Michael Le Vell, who plays Kevin Webster in Coronation Street, her "worst kiss ever". The actress chatted to Charlene White, Janet Street-Porter and Brenda Edwards about the experience of kissing Michael on Tuesday's June 28 show.

Denise, who starred as Natalie Barnes in Coronation Street, said her experience of kissing Michael was tainted by the fact that he was "quite shy". She described how she "had to say to Michael that [they] can't do anything sexy because it's pre-watershed". In a harsh comment, the star compared the kiss to being like "kissing a cat's bum," before doing an impression of what the kiss was like.

As the audience erupted in laughter, Denise apologised to Michael for her comments and said that although she wasn't a fan of the "cat's bum" kiss, she "loves" him and thoroughly enjoyed her time on Coronation Street. Denise appeared on the ITV soap between 1997 and 2000.

During her time on Coronation Street, Denise was involved in many popular storylines. Her fan-favourite character became landlady of the Rovers Return, got married to Des Barnes and embarked on a scandalous affair with Kevin Webster.

Denise left Corrie in 2000. At the time of her departure, a Granada spokesperson said: "We wish Denise well both for the birth of her baby and for her future career. Natalie's exit will come in December - the month which sees Coronation Street's 40th birthday. Viewers have seen her steal Kevin Webster, from his wife Sally, and her own husband Des Barnes was murdered a month after they married last year".

Loose Women airs on weekdays on ITV at 12.30pm
