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!"

After giving birth, Denise suffered from a severe spell of post-natal depression. "I loved the first few days even though he cried a lot," she explained on the ITV show. "A week later out of nowhere, during a walk with my mum, my life changed forever. After my first ever panic attack a feeling of unreality came over me and within an hour I was in a thick, black, terrifying depression."

Matt even wrote the song She Lays Down about his mother's mental health troubles. "I told him when he was older that depression robbed me of the ability of love and I used to lay down on the bedroom floor and pray for the ability to love my children again,' Denise said on Loose Women.
