The Loose Women star, 66, shared the update with her fans on social media and opened up about the dramatic experience.

In a now-deleted post, Denise said: “2 weeks ago I was in the worst pain ever.
“We waited 90 minutes for an ambulance and then I spent 24 hours in A&E waiting for a bed on the surgical ward.”
Fans were quick to send Denise well wishes and, while she didn’t expand on the reason for her hospital stay, she said: “I’m much better thank you x.”
Denise’s latest health battle comes after she was forced to miss work committments in December after struggling with depression.
Before her absence from the show, Denise – who returned earlier this month – spoke about her struggles.
She said: “I’d just done a podcast saying I’d been free for five years from clinical depression and that I hoped that something that happened when I had a baby had reversed.
“But sadly the unwelcome visitor paid me an unwelcome visit and so I’ve not been well for a couple of weeks.”
Denise, who has battled with depression for over 30 years, continued: “The reason why I’m glad we’ve alluded to it is because we do all of things like Britain Get Talking and sometimes people still find that it isn’t always good to talk.
“So I just wanted to come on here because what I need when I’m poorly is for my friends to just know that I need time to get well.
“I need for the people that I work with like yourselves and like our wonderful production team to say ‘if you want to come to work come to work.”
“And if I don’t, like last week I didn’t come to work, because I know my illness more than anyone.”

Well, it turns out that you aren’t the only one left stunned by the revelation that the popular side is actually made from spring greens.
Nigel Thompson, who regularly posts recipes on his social media pages, took to TikTok to share his version of crispy seaweed.
“So the ingredients you need – spring greens,” he began.
“Some people still think it’s real seaweed.
“Really?”
He then went on to shred the greens – removing the main stem of each left, rolling tightly and then cutting thin strips with a sharp knife.
Once that was done, he washed the strips, and placed them on a tea towel, with another on top to ensure they were dry.
Nigel then added some oil, before putting the mixture into the air fryer.
“So on full power, we’re just going to cook them, we’ll keep turning them and keep tossing them,” he said.
“Every couple of minutes just give them a little toss.”
Once finished, he took the seaweed out, and added some sugar and a little salt to finish it off.
And while lots of people praised Nigel for sharing the recipe on TikTok, others admitted they were still struggling to come to terms with his spring greens revelation.
“I was today years old when I learned that it was not actual seaweed,” one gasped.
“You’re not the first!” Nigel replied.
“I’m 41 and just learnt it’s not seaweed,” another admitted.
“Omg it’s not seaweed it’s just greens!” a third marvelled.
