The Coronation Street stars with Louis
Denise is very much a proud mum to both Louis and his older brother Matty, who is currently touring the world with The 1975. The Loose Women panellist recently spoke to HELLO! about her sons, revealing how she often helps Louis when it comes to learning his lines. She said: "Louis is still at home. He's a jobbing actor and he just left this minute to go down and do an audition in London. So he's off doing his thing as well. It's great, I feel very proud that they are both following their dreams and doing very well. He doesn't ask me for advice but the one thing he does listen to me about at 18 is anything to do with acting."

On Matty, she added: "My eldest son isn’t connected to the acting world so I don't know anything about his career, but needless to say, it's quite obvious that he is setting the world alight in his own way. And it's great but with him being away on tour I miss him a lot. He is on a world tour until 2022 so he is all over the world, he is going to be back in the UK for ten days only this whole year."
