Second man claims affair with Denise Welsh
More trouble for CBB winner Denise as 2nd man
comes forward with affair claim
A SECOND man has come forward with an affair claim with the Celebrity Big Brother winner.
The Loose Women presenter reportedly embarked on a four month romance with gay toyboy Tom Hopkins, turning the 26-year-old straight.
Despite a spokesman for Denise saying: ‘We believe these allegations to be false’ – Tom insists he fell in love with the ‘first girl I had ever been with’.
The news comes 24 hours after the Sunday Mirror claimed the mother-of-two had an eight month affair with party planner Lincoln Townley, 39.
Young theatre producer Tom told The Sun he met Denise in a London pub, before sharing a taxi to her hotel and telling her he was gay.
He said: ‘She started kissing me and stuff happened. She was basically semi-naked in the taxi. The taxi driver just carried on driving.’
But yesterday, the former Coronation Street star shrugged of the rumours, cheekily flashing husband Tim Healy during his 60th birthday celebrations.
Tom says he dated Denise for four months, and on their first night together at a Mayfair hotel, serial-flasher Denise stripped off in the street.
He said: ‘She only had underwear on. It was dark so no-one spotted her.’
Soon they began meeting for lunch dates and talked incessantly on the phone ‘about four times a day’, despite Denise being married for 23 years.
Tom added: ‘I remember her saying to someone she could have anyone she wanted, but for some reason she had fallen in love with me.’
The affair took place during the sixth series of Dancing On Ice last year, with Tom spending nights with her at a Holiday Inn hotel room.
During their affair, Tom said Denise would introduce him as her best friend.
He showed The Sun a series of text messages, including one saying: ‘I’m your fiancée not your wife!! Maybe we rushed things xxxx’
Last Friday, Denise was crowned the Celebrity Big Brother winner after beating runner-up Frankie Cocozza to first place.
