Sue Cleaver talks Denise Welch ‘fall out’
When asked about “in-fighting”, Sue said: “They always like to say ‘catfights’, but they only say that about women, don’t they? They wouldn’t dream of saying that when it’s blokes presenting something. Actually we’re very tight. But it happens a lot when Denise [Welch] and I are on together.”
Continuing, Sue said: “We’ve known each other for 25 years – we’re close friends and have a sort of shorthand in the way we communicate.
“The press will say ‘massive fallout’, but I’ve never fallen out with Denise in my life! It’s quite awful, we’ve still got so far to go that it’s depressing,” she then added.
