Denise Welch fans left baffled as she adopts bizarre new accent on US talk show
Loose Women star Denise Welch appeared on Watch What Happens Live! with Andy Cohen where she debuted a brand-new 'transatlantic accent' Denise Welch has left fans baffled after she unveiled a brand-new accent while being interviewed on a US talkshow. The Loose Women panellist appeared on Watch What Happens Live! with Andy Cohen where she debuted her seemingly new accent. The TV star, 67, has been accused of making her accent 'non-binary' and 'more posh' by fans on X who have commented on the now viral clip of Denise, 67, sharing her support for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after revealing what she really thinks of Taylor Swift. In the clip, Denise was asked what the UK's general opinion is on Harry and Meghan as it stands today. In response, Denise insisted that she is the only panelist on Loose Women who supports and likes the former Royals - but it was were new dulcet tones that got viewers talking rather than her thoughts on the couple. "Well, I have a very different view to a lot of people. On the show that I do at home, called Loose Women, I'm the only one who flies the Prince Harry and Meghan flag and I know them. I've met a few of the Royals over the years but I have never met them. "I just think that the amount of bullying by the press, both British and American, that that woman gets.... Remember she was in those rooms as a young black American woman. She had a big voice in Unicef and in the United Nations and she was in a lot of those big rooms before Harry was. "I just kind of try to fly the flag a bit. You've got to remember that this is a boy who was forced at 12-years-old to walk behind his mother's coffin. His dad had been unfaithful and he grew up in that world. I think for him to want to say his piece is something quite admirable." After speaking with Andy Cohen, social media users pointed out Denise's sudden change in accent. Taking to X, one wrote: "So why has Denise completely changed her accent? She sounds so much more posh. Trying to impress I see." Another questioned: "What happened to her accent? WTF." "I can't get over Denise's new non-binary accent. Her diversity. We've lost her to the states I fear," another joked. Someone else echoed: "She has a transatlantic accent." And another mocked: "I thought this was AI." Elsewhere in the interview, the TV star didn't hold back as she shared her thoughts on her son Matty Healy's brief romance with Taylor Swift. Denise was asked about her famous son Matty who is the lead singer of The 1975. Denise was immediately asked about his relationship with Taylor, and specifically, what she thought about the pop star's Tortured Poets Department album. Taylor, who is dating Travis Kelce, is known to write songs about her high-profile relationships and fans dissected the album to figure out which tracks were written about Matty. Denise seemingly claimed Taylor's fans hit out at any person who dares to criticise the 35-year-old pop star. When Andy asked what she thought of the hit album, Denise said: "Obviously, on pain of death can I talk about that episode, but not being her mother-in-law is a role that I am glad that I lost." The straightforward comment shocked everyone in the room, including Andy. She quickly tried to calm things down as she added: "Not that I have anything against her at all! It was just - it was tricky." She then suggested it's difficult to comment on anything to do with Taylor, as her fans would negatively react to it. "She - listen, you're not allowed to say anything, and then she writes a whole album about it," Denise explained. Denise said that Matty has taken the album's personal tracks 'all in completely good grace,' and added: "He's very happy with his amazing fiancée Gabriella," referring to singer Gabbriette. "So we've moved on," the ITV presenter said.

Matty Healy's mother Denise Welch takes swipe at his ex Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift's former relationship with Matty Healy was briefly back in the spotlight following a comment from Healy's mother, Denise Welch. Appearing on Watch What Happens Live! on Thursday, the British actress was asked about Swift's 2024 album The Tortured Poets Department, widely speculated to include several songs referencing Healy. Welch didn't hold back. 'Obviously, on pain of death can I talk about that episode, but not being her mother-in-law is a role that I am glad that I lost,' she said, drawing gasps from the studio audience. She quickly followed with, 'Not that I have anything against her at all. It was just — it was tricky.' Reflecting on Swift's lyrical approach, Welch added, 'You're not allowed to say anything, and then she writes a whole album about it.' Despite this, she clarified that her son 'took the aftermath of Swift's eleventh studio album all in good grace.' Swift and Healy briefly dated from May to June 2023 after her split from actor Joe Alwyn. During their short time together, Healy was seen attending Swift's Eras Tour concerts and accompanying her in New York City. Since their split, both artists have moved on. Healy is now engaged to model Gabbriette Bechtel, while Swift began dating NFL star Travis Kelce in mid-2024.

Sarah Jessica Parker confirms talks are ongoing for 'Hocus Pocus 3'
Fans of the Hocus Pocus franchise may have reason to stay hopeful. Sarah Jessica Parker has offered a fresh update on the long-rumored third installment, confirming that discussions are underway. Appearing on Watch What Happens Live!, the 60-year-old actress said, 'We've been having some conversations,' though she added there have been 'no more developments other than we would like to do it.' Parker's comments mark the first significant update in over a year regarding Hocus Pocus 3, which would serve as a follow-up to the 2022 sequel that reunited Parker with co-stars Bette Midler and Kathy Najimy as the wickedly comedic Sanderson sisters. The original 1993 film has since become a Halloween cult classic, making each sequel a nostalgic celebration for fans. Midler has also previously urged Disney to move quickly with the third movie. Appearing last year on Busy Philipps' QVC+ show Busy This Week, she quipped, 'If they're gonna, they oughta, because time is not just marching, time is barrel-assing to the finish line. Get us while we're still breathing!' While no script has been publicly confirmed, the stars' consistent enthusiasm suggests that creative forces may be aligning behind the scenes. The 2022 sequel was a streaming hit, debuting on Disney+ to record-breaking numbers, which likely adds momentum for a third chapter. Despite the growing interest, Disney has yet to officially greenlight the project. Still, Parker's latest remarks signal that the magic isn't over yet. With all three original stars still expressing a willingness to return, the potential for another witchy adventure remains very much alive.

Sarah Jessica Parker issues Hocus Pocus 3 update
Sarah Jessica Parker has been "having some conversations" about Hocus Pocus 3. The movie still appears to be in the works, despite a lack of updates in the past year, but the 60-year-old star admitted she and the cast would "like to do it". Speaking on Watch What Happens Live!, she said: "No more developments other than we would like to do it. "We've been having some conversations." In the 1993 original, Jessica Parker, Bette Midler and Kathy Najimy appeared as the Sanderson sisters, a trio of witches who were resurrected on a Halloween night. A year ago, Midler - who reprised her role as witch Winifred 'Winnie' Sanderson in the successful fantasy comedy sequel in 2022 - urged Disney to hurry up with Hocus Pocus 3 while the cast are "still breathing". Speaking on Busy Philipps' QVC+ talk show Busy This Week, she said last July: "I haven't seen the script, but, I've heard rumblings. "I think if they're gonna, they oughta, because time is not just marching, time is barrel-assing to the finish line. "Get us while we're still breathing, I mean, God!" Midler also admitted on the show that she initially thought the 1993 original movie was a "dud", until it later became a "cult classic". In June 2024, the star revealed talks had taken place regarding a third film in the franchise. She told SiriusXM's The Jess Cagle Show: "Now, they're kind of talking about a third, very gingerly and very gently. "They are. They're talking about a third. The second one was a huge success." Midler also insisted her Hocus Pocus alter-ego is "probably the least like me of any character" that she has played during an acting career that has spanned more than half a century. The Stepford Wives star said: "She is the closest thing I will ever get to Shakespeare. She's from the era, from the time of Shakespeare. "She really does put it on, and yet she has all the great things you love in a great villain. She's vicious, she's hilarious, she's ridiculous-looking, and she doesn't know any of that. It goes completely over her head."
