Denise Welch revealed she listened into royal conversation at Elton John's wedding

Loose Women's Denise Welch has recalled eavesdropping on some famous faces while in the toilet at Sir Elton John's civil partnership. The 67-year-old revealed to Kelly Brook on the Loose Women: Just Between Us podcast that she was in the toilet when Fergie, Victoria Beckham and Sharon Osbourne came in. And rather than make herself known, she stayed in the toilet to listen in on their conversation.

"I remember sitting in the toilet at one point and listening to the Duchess of York, Victoria Beckham and Sharon Osbourne having a chat," she said. "And I made it the longest wee in the world so I could try and listen to absolutely everything!"

She didn't share what was said, but did say she was "appalled" by the language of the best woman, Janet Street Porter, and told her as such.

She also explained how she ended up at Elton John's civil partnership in the first place. She revealed that she was at the wedding of TV personality Phil Turner and make-up artist Gary Cockerill first, where Katie Price was the bridesmaid and Peter Andre was the best man.

"But I had to leave before the pudding so I could go to Elton's wedding! The reason I was going was because Tim [Healy], who I was married to at the time and the boys' dad, was playing the dad in Billy Elliot the musical."

She added that it was like "being at a looky-likey competition, but it was the real people." Sir Elton and David Furnish became civil partners in 2005, with the likes of Elizabeth Hurley, Sir David Beckham, Lulu, Cilla Black, Ringo Starr, Claudia Schiffer and James Blunt also in attendance.

Her co-host, Kelly, also spoke about her "most famous wedding" that she'd been to, one that could rival Elton John's. "The most famous wedding I ever attended was Madonna and Guy Ritchie's wedding.

"I was only invited because Madonna said she was only going to invite people that had been together for a long time, and my partner and I had been together for many years."

Denise then asked who that partner was, and Kelly said she was with Jason Statham at the time, who had worked with Guy on Snatch. She added that they were all friends, but for six months, she had no clue the director was dating the Vogue singer, thanks to his odd nickname for her.

"We were all friends at that time and we knew Guy was dating somebody but he always referred to her as Madge. So for six months I didn't know who this mysterious Madge was!"

Fans in the comment section were left in fits of laughter after Denise and Kelly's admissions. "I imagine having a girls night out with @denise_welch it would be hilarious," said one.

A second went on to write: "I mean, never has there ever been a better podcast host with so many tales than @denise_welch I’M IN."
