Geordie actress and television personality, Denise Welch is celebrating her 65th birthday today (May 22, 2023).
Denise has been in the public eye for many years now, and some of us have grown up with her on our screens, whether that be on Byker Grove, Waterloo Road or Loose Women.
To celebrate the Tynemouth-born star’s birthday, we have created a gallery of images of Denise over the years.
