Denise Welch: Pulling Myself Together

Product Description

Denise Welch has been a firm TV favourite since the eighties, but it was when she took on the role of Rovers Return landlady Natalie Horrocks in Coronation Street that she really became a household name. Ten years later she's more popular than ever, thanks to her award-winning run in Waterloo Road & her honesty, frankness & bubbly personality, which have secured her place in the hearts of millions of Loose Women fans. It seems like Denise has it all: the love of her husband Tim Healy, two wonderful sons, Matthew & Louis, & a hugely successful career. But things weren't always what that way. After her first child, Matthew, was born, Denise began to suffer from such a severe form of post-natal depression that she was at times suicidal. As she struggled to conceal her heartbreak on the set of Coronation Street, she turned to alcohol & drugs to cope. When she was at her lowest, she even had an affair that very nearly ended her marriage. & just when she had almost got herself back on track, she received the devastating news that her son Louis was desperately ill. In Pulling Myself Together, Denise describes her battle with depression, drugs & alcoholism, & how she ultimately fought back to become the inspirational woman she is today, helped by the love & support of her family. Filled with Denise's trademark wry humour, this is the funny, honest & sometimes shocking story of one of our best-loved actresses.
