The Coronation Street Actress and Celebrity Big Brother winner has split from longtime beau Tim Healy, according to multiple reports. But wait…

Mirror is reporting, after almost 24.2 years together, despite numerous breakup reports, the two have NOT gone their separate ways.

But wait, again! Oh, you know you like that back and forth…that’s entertainment! Ha! Today on her show, Loose Women, she spilled the whole teapot after so much speculation! Finally, ’cause we were tired of seeing her breasts underneath her fleshed colored bras and things. Too much, Denise! Ok, now, are you sitting down? Yes? Good. Well, read this:

 ”I just want to say, and this is going to be really difficult for me. But the Loose Women audience over the years have given me so much support, as they have to all of us, and so my family made a decision that we would talk about this today.  Tim and I separated some time ago. And so I’m not having an affair, we’ve been living our own lives for some time now, but because the press furore – if that’s the word – after I came out of Celebrity Big Brother, naively took us by storm. But there’s been nothing in the papers that my family didn’t know about. And I just wanted to say today, to thank everybody for their support. Tim and I feel a sense of relief that we don’t have to hide this anymore. We’ve actually become better friends since we’ve made the decision. But we wanted to have Christmas with the family without telling anybody. We’re all just going to move forward as a family. Tim and I are still going to be co-parents and we love each other very much. ‘The kids love us very much and they wanted me to do this today…they wanted me to do this today because if you do it via a newspaper or magazine, they can choose their own headlines and put it into the words that they want. But they’re sick of me being annihilated for something. I’m not having an affair – I’m officially separated. But we do love each other very much so I just want to say thank you.  This is not about anybody else. It has never been – our marriage has never been about anybody else. It’s just the fact that we are free to move on should we want to.”

So there’s nothing left for us to say!  That’s her story and she and her fellow Loose Women (um, we have some questions about that show name, but ok) co-hosts are sticking to it and can carry on!

Welch has a history of long-term celebrity relationships and this romance was no different. Welch’s first marriage was to David Easter.

Healy has only had one celebrity relationship.
