Denise Welch is a proud mum to her two sons and never fails to dote on them as she shares plenty of updates on their lives.
On Tuesday, however, she admitted that she had shed a "few tears" as she relived a frightening moment with her younger son, Louis, who was born with Hirschsprung Disease. The condition, which affects one in 5,000 babies, causes a bowel blockage which can lead to constipation and occasionally an infection known as enterocolitis.
According to the NHS website, the condition is caused by missing nerves that control bowel movements, and it is typically picked up on quickly and fixed with surgery.
Denise relived the moment as she had bought a VHS player and she watched an interview on BBC Look North, which was broadcast in 2002, where she spoke about the condition with journalist Mike Neville.
Although the health moment might have unnerved Denise, as you can see in the clip below, it didn't faze Louis who played around with the newsdesk during the interview.
In the caption, the actress and presenter explained: "Blimey!!! Just got a VHS player so prepare for 97,000 old clips!!! This was on BBC Look North in 2002 with the legendary Mike Neville.
"Louis @healytymd had just had surgery as he was born with Hirschsprung Disease. @alderhey_inspired and @rmchcharity were absolutely amazing. Shed a few tears watching this."
The star was supported by her followers, as one said: "Nothing better than looking back on old family videos etc. thank you for sharing this with us. Hope you're well, Denise," and a second added: "My little boy also has Hirschsprungs Disease so glad everything ended up ok."
A third shared: "Aww, little Louis. Bless you both. What a recovery!"
Alongside Louis, Denise is also mum to Matty Healy, the frontman of The 1975, and last year she opened up about her birth process with her eldest in a good-natured way.
The presenter uploaded a black-and-white photo of her son being swarmed by a group of fans during a concert, and alongside the snap, she wrote: "It appears my 42-hour labour with no pain relief 33 years ago was worth it!"
