Denise talks about her dad
Denise shared the news of her father’s death on her social media back in 2021. The star uploaded a photo of herself holding her father’s hand to her social media.
“The words I’ve dreaded saying all of my life. Last night at 11pm, we lost our dad, the life force that was Vin Welch,” she wrote at the time.
“After making a miraculous recovery recently from major surgeries, pneumonia plus his existing pulmonary fibrosis was more than even he could take. He left us surrounded by his family who could not have loved anyone more. I can’t quite function as I’m so grief stricken, but I know he meant so much to so many people, even those who’d never met him,” she continued.
“I’ve never seen anyone fight to stay longer at a party than dad and last night was no different. He loved life and lived it to the full like no other. The nurses in Ward 6 at Durham University hospital will forever be in our hearts as they gave dad the most peaceful passing anyone could wish for.”
