Loose Women’s Denise Welch left viewers gobsmacked with her unrecognisable throwback clip on the ITV show.
On Monday’s episode (July 29), Denise got into a natter about how peeps often slate her for sounding “posh” instead of rocking a Geordie twang. She was adamant that she’s never had a strong North East accent, despite hailing from there.
To back up her claim, Denise urged the producers to roll an old video of her at the tender age of 23 chatting away in a voice that’s dead similar to her current one, but looking like a totally different bird. Back then, Denise was presenting a piece to camera, her long blonde locks styled into a fancy up-do.
She exclaimed: “Everybody seems to think that because I’m from the North East, I used to talk like Gazza. So whenever I do anything, if I’m on GMB or an interview show, they always say on Twitter or whatever ‘Oh my God, it’s pathetic, she’s completely lost her Geordie accent.'”
She added: “I’ve found a clip, which I think we’ve got, of me when I was 23 where I sound more like bloomin’ Fiona Bruce than I do like Gazza,” reports the Mirror.

In the vintage footage, Denise is heard saying in a rather posh tone: “Local radio is one of the most enduring media institutions this country has. All over the nation, an endless flow of news, events, weather, and music streams out and much more.”
Here in the North East, were particularly well off with commercial radio, BBC and community radio all providing their own particular blend of information and entertainment. From first light to through the night, the music keeps on coming.”
Her co-star Judi Love wailed: “Who is she?!” as Denise said: “The proof is in the peas pudding…”

Denise admitted after every TV show appearance she gets comments criticising her accent something that happened on Monday after starring on Good Morning Britain. She’d chatted to hosts Ranvir Singh and Ed Balls about a phone scam she fell victim to when the tweets flooded in.
One viewer questioned: “Why does Denise Welch put on this posh accent? ” as another echoed: “Denise Welch has lost her Geordie accent I see…”
Now fans can’t get enough of how much Denise has changed with one viewer even guessing the throwback clip was made with artificial intelligence. One tweeter commented: “I bet that’s AI of Denise, she does try to speak posh at times, she’s such a liar!”
Someone else said: “Denise with hair, who even is she?”
