Denise Welch auctioning off Glastonbury Brat flag
Denise Welch is auctioning off the viral Glastonbury Brat-inspired flag that had her name printed on it, as well as a bra attached to it. The bold, fluorescent green-coloured item - which the Loose Women panellist revealed was created by the 42-year-old comedian Josh Widdicombe's friend - went viral on social media after the comic's pal waved it when Denise and her ex-husband, the 73-year-old actor Tim Healy's son Matty Healy, 36, and his band, The 1975, headlined the Pyramid Stage at the Worthy Farm musical festival last month. The flag took inspiration from the 32-year-old singer Charli xcx's green-coloured Brat album, which was released in June 2024 and later became a cultural phenomenon, as well as Josh's pal's family being big fans of Denise, and the comic's friend being a supporter of Matty. A bra is attached to the flag because, as a woman in the crowd could not get close enough to the Pyramid Stage to throw her garment at Matty whilst The 1975 were performing, she thought the next best thing was to stick it on the flag. Now, Denise, 67, has put the Brat-inspired flag - which comes with the bra - up for auction to raise money for Children North East. The charity provides mental health support for children, helps support families in crisis, youth services and safe spaces, as well as support groups. So far, 13 people have placed a bid for the item - taking the price to £685. The auction ends on Monday, August 11, 2025, and Denise will personally present the flag to the winner. She wrote on her Instagram Stories on Tuesday (29.07.25): "So at Glastonbury in June, @charli_xcx showed me a photo and said, 'Have you seen the Denise Welch Brat flag!!' "It became quite a story and featured on lots of the coverage of the festival especially @loosewomen of course!!! "We're now auctioning the flag (and bra) to raise money for the amazing @children_ne who do so much for children living in poverty in the north east of England. "It would be so kind of you would bid for the flag and whoever wins I'll present it to them personally! (sic)" To place a bid for the Denise Welch Glastonbury Brat flag, visit:

Aaron Phypers accuses Denise Richards of trying to 'damage his reputation'
Aaron Phypers has accused Denise Richards of assaulting him. The 52-year-old actor has rubbished the recent allegations made by his estranged wife, who has accused him of being unfaithful and of stealing her laptop. Aaron told Us Weekly: "I absolutely deny the false allegations that I violated the restraining order or stole Denise's laptop or cell phones. "These claims are not only untrue — they are being weaponised to damage my reputation and distract from the truth. "In reality, Denise took my phone without consent, physically assaulted me when I tried to retrieve it, and later I discovered it smashed and hidden in a black trash bag inside the recycling bin. "That phone was my personal property, and it contained years of private memories, messages, and evidence of our life together. Let me be very clear: all photos, videos, and communications she is referring to originated from my phone — which I lawfully own. "Nothing was stolen or hacked. We were a married couple who shared everything — phones, iPads, laptops. Denise often insisted on transparency between us and even asked me, in both verbal and written messages, to check her phone to rebuild trust after I discovered her affair in early April." Aaron has accused his estranged wife of cheating on him with Rudy Reyes. The actor cite Denise's "ongoing infidelity" as the reason for their acrimonious separation. He said: "The betrayal of discovering that she continued her relationship with Rudy Reyes - while asking me to stay and fix the marriage - was heartbreaking. I filed for divorce on July 7 due to her ongoing infidelity." Despite this, Aaron insists that he has "nothing to hide" and that "everything being claimed can be disproven". The actor - who has been married to Denise since 2018 - explained: "I have nothing to hide. Her legal team's efforts to twist the narrative and create false evidence are deeply unethical and will have serious consequences. "Everything being claimed can be disproven. And I trust that the truth will come to light."

Her Husband Began an Affair with His Best Friend's Widow — That's When She Began to Suspect Something Far Worse (Exclusive Clip)
Kathy Aldredge tells PEOPLE about the nearly two-decade investigation she helped spearhead into her close friend Mike Williams' mysterious death in 2000NEED TO KNOW ABC News Studios' latest true crime docuseries, Mr. and Mrs. Murder, begins streaming on Hulu July 30 The series looks into the mysterious death of Mike Williams on Dec. 16, 2000 Kathy Aldredge, one of Williams' close friends, helped crack the case and tells PEOPLE she believes "there's still some missing pieces" out there that could explain what really happenedKathy Aldredge felt vindicated in front of the camera, finally free to share the truth about a devious plot she quietly investigated — at times alongside police — for the better part of the last two decades. 'I feel a lot of satisfaction,' Aldredge tells PEOPLE. 'I've waited a long time to speak on this topic and speak about my experience, and so there's a lot of satisfaction in finishing the project.' Aldredge's tireless search for the truth about her close friend Mike Williams' mysterious 2000 death is at the center of ABC News Studios' upcoming true crime docuseries, Mr. and Mrs. Murder, which begins streaming on Hulu on July 30. (An exclusive clip is shown below.) The four-part series examines Williams' disappearance the weekend before he and his wife, Denise, were set to celebrate their wedding anniversary — and follows Aldredge's determined quest to uncover what really happened. The 31-year-old father went missing after setting out on his boat to go duck hunting on the morning of Dec. 16, 2000, on Florida's Lake Seminole. He never returned, leading police to later theorize he had been eaten by an alligator. But Aldredge grew suspicious after her husband, Brian Winchester, began having an affair with Denise — his best friend's widow. She and Winchester eventually divorced but remained in each other's lives because they shared a child. 'To say they stabbed me in the back doesn't even touch it,' Aldredge says in the docuseries' trailer. 'They had stabbed me in the soul.' She and Williams' mother, Cheryl Williams — who adamantly believed Denise and Brian had killed her son — began digging deeper into what had happened. They ultimately worked directly with police, went undercover, and later testified against Brian and Denise when the pair were convicted of working together to kill Mike. 'I've been able to kind of shut the door on that chapter, but there's a window that's still open,' Aldredge explains to PEOPLE, wondering how Brian and Denise were able to get away with the murder for 17 years before eventually being convicted. With the docuseries is coming out soon, Aldredge says she hopes it might lead to others coming forward with more information about what happened — and why she believes police investigations into Mike's murder were repeatedly halted. 'I feel like there's still some missing pieces,' she says. 'I feel like Brian and Denise, for all those years, were protected in some way.' Aldredge says revisiting her experiences 'took me back to a dark place.' After she and Williams' mother, Cheryl, came forward with their accusations against Brian and Denise, they encountered police roadblocks — and backlash from community members who defended the couple. Despite the blowback, the pair of fiercely determined amateur investigators never stopped trying to figure out how and why Mike was killed.'She and I spent a lot of years under the radar,' Aldredge says, recalling the many days she and Mike's mother spent digging for clues that might help connect the dots in his death. 'Cheryl and I went through this together, even though we didn't see each other every day and we didn't talk every day, whenever we got together, this investigation was what we talked about. This investigation was what connected us, and it was a constant obsession throughout all those years, no matter how much time had passed between us, there was always that connection.' Viewers can watch how it all unfolded on July 30 when Mr. and Mrs. Murder begins streaming on Hulu. Read the original article on People
