The Loose Women panellist, 65, said: “It’s no surprise Matt’s a superstar heart-throb because he came out of me. He got my genes.”
The former Coronation Street favourite Denise had Matt, 34, with Benidorm star Tim Healy, 71.

The 1975 star, who’s been banned from performing in Malaysia after kissing a bandmate, shocked the showbiz world when he was linked to Tayor Swift.
The US star, 33, started dating her long-time pal earlier this year. But they split last month.
Rumours are now rife they are secretly dating again. Former heroin addict Matt has a reputation for having a rock ’n roll lifestyle.
And news of their relationship has not gone down well with Taylor’s protective fan base, nicknamed the Swifties.

But Denise defended her son, saying: “We have all had our issues but he’s come through that. He is in a really good place.
“I am so proud of him. He is my big boy, well in fact they all feel like my boys because they started out in the garage in my house.
“I have been a part of their journey since they were 13 years old.”
Denise, who met Taylor at the band’s London 02 gig in January, added: “He may be a big star now, but I am still his mum. I love it when he comes home. I don’t do his washing when he’s home though. To be honest I’m not sure I ever did do his washing.

“But on a serious note all I care about is he is happy and he stays in contact with his mum.”
Matt is the frontman of hit group 1975, who have had five consecutive UK number one albums.
The four-time BRIT winners have been on their At Their Very Best World Tour since November last year.
Denise and her second husband Lincoln Townley, 50, have been travelling the world to see him as often as possible.
The likeable actress added: “We have been going to quite a few of their shows.
“Watching 20,000 people singing along to the songs he’s written was a special memory.”
