Denise Welch's 'tears' after Taylor Swift swipe: Loose Women star appears to cry in the street and is hugged by son Matty Healy after TV interview backfired
Denise Welch seemingly broke in down tears and was hugged by her son Matty Healy in West Hollywood this week after backlash over her comments about his ex Taylor Swift. The Loose Women star, 67, recently faced the wrath of Taylor's huge fanbase after making a subtle dig at her tendency to pen songs about her famous exes before accusing her Swifties of lashing out at anyone who dares to criticize her. And it appears that things may have gotten too much for Denise as she struggled to hold in her emotions while out with her rocker son, 36, on Friday - though a source told TMZ it was due to a 'family matter'. The actress was seen dabbing her eyes with a tissue as she sat on a pavement outside Stella restaurant, with the 1975 front man sitting close by to support her. The pair, who were said to be at dinner with Matty's fiancée Gabbriette Bechtel, appeared deep in conversation, with Matty taking the opportunity to puff on a cigarette while supporting is mother. Denise and Matty then stood up and embraced, before seemingly heading inside. Following the fallout from her comments, in which she was branded 'obnoxious by Taylor's camp, Denise struggled to hold in her emotions while out with her rocker son, 36, on Friday. The Loose Women star, 67, recently faced the wrath of Taylor's huge fanbase after making a subtle dig at her proclivity to pen songs about her famous exes [Denise and Taylor pictured] Though it's unclear why Denise was apparently in tears, a source told TMZ: 'There was a family matter that Matty was consoling his mother about.' Daily Mail has contacted Denise's representatives for comment. It was said Taylor is taking 'the high road' after 'obnoxious' Denise, the mother of her ex Matty, took a swipe at her during an awkward interview exchange. The 35-year-old singer became a hot topic of conversation during Denise's appearance on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live last month, during which she was quizzed about Taylor's latest album The Tortured Poets Department. Denise told host Andy Cohen: 'Obviously, on pain of death can I talk about that episode, but being her mother-in-law is a role that I am glad I lost'. Her confession elicited shocked gasps from audience members, to which Welch quickly clarified her statement. 'Not that I have anything against [Taylor] at all!' she said emphatically, adding: 'It was just – it was tricky.' 'Listen, you're not allowed to say anything,' she went on, 'and then she [Taylor] writes a whole album about it.' The pair, who were said to be at dinner with Matty's fiancée Gabbriette Bechtel, appeared deep in conversation Denise and Matty then stood up and embraced, before seemingly heading inside Though it's unclear why Denise was in tears, a source told TMZ: 'There was a family matter that Matty was consoling his mother about' Denise was clearly upset during the day out with her eldest son and future daughter-in-law The mother and son were seen speaking outside for a period of time Taylor and Matty, 36, dated following her split from her longterm boyfriend, actor Joe Alwyn, in April 2023. But the relationship was short-lived - and Taylor has since moved on with NFL star Travis Kelce, while Matty himself is now engaged to model Gabbriette Bechtel. Since then, the $1.6billion songstress has been basking in the glory of her record-breaking Eras Tour, her historic buy-back her musical masters, and her loved-up relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight-end Travis. That's why, according to an inside source, Taylor has no plans to issue a scathing response to Denise's sly digs. Instead, she plans to do exactly as she always does… and just shake it off. 'It's a bit obnoxious in Taylor's eyes, but she has to take the high road,' the insider exclusively told the Daily Mail. 'If there was anything that would be in a future song of Taylor's – if she were ever to respond – she would respond that way. But as of right now, she might just let it slide. She is not going to let Denise ruin her day.' While Taylor and Matty only dated for a few short months in 2023, their paths first crossed years earlier. They briefly dated following her split from actor Joe Alwyn in April 2023. Their rollercoaster romance came to an end that June after Matty faced criticism for making a series of offensive comments The two reportedly met when Taylor attended a 1975 show in Los Angeles in 2014, with her friends Selena Gomez and Ellie Goulding in tow. But they weren't properly in each other's orbits until 2022, when rumors began circulating that Matty would be featured on Taylor's album Midnights. There turned out to be some truth in the gossip. Matty revealed in the November of that year that he had collaborated with Taylor in the studio, though their work never saw the light of day. They picked up the professional collaboration in January 2023, with Taylor making a surprise appearance on stage at a 1975 concert. And then, following news of her split from Joe in April that year, the new romance was confirmed - just one month later. But as quickly as it had begun, Matty was swept up in controversy over offensive accents and crude jokes he had made about rapper Ice Spice. Across social media, Taylor's fans expressed their disappointment with the singer over her choice of partner, and urged her to dump Matty. By early June, the two were reported to no longer be together.

How US doctor helped fuel public fears over 'toxic' sunscreens as reality star Sam Faiers faces backlash for not putting cream on her three children
When reality TV star Sam Faiers revealed last week her children don't wear sun protection, she became the latest celebrity to claim that sunscreens are 'harmful' and full of 'toxic ingredients'. Posting to her 2.5million followers on Instagram, the former The Only Way Is Essex star, 34, shared photographs of her children Paul, nine, Rosie, seven, and Edward, two, as they holidayed in Majorca. She wrote: 'My whole family don't actually wear sunscreen. 'Over the years, the kids have built up a really good tolerance to being in the sun. 'Of course, if it's really hot and the sun feels too harsh, I'll make sure we head into the shade… I'm really careful about sunscreen in general, because a lot of them are actually pretty harmful and full of toxic ingredients.' Other celebrities have adopted the same approach: influencers Kelsey Parker and Lauryn Goodman have told their followers they ignore NHS advice to wear sun protection factor of at least 30. Health experts are horrified at what they see as a dangerous conspiracy theory, fearing a fall in sunscreen use will lead to a rise in skin cancer. According to market researchers Mintel, 72 per cent of UK adults used sun protection in the 12 months to September 2024, falling from 77 per cent in the same period in 2023. So, how did the worrying pseudo-science about sunscreen take hold? The Mail on Sunday has traced its genesis back to a scientific paper published in the Journal of the American Medical Association and posted on Twitter in May 2019. The paper, by 19 scientists, tested four sunscreens on the market and found the concentrations of some chemicals exceeded thresholds established by the US Food and Drug Administration. It made clear further studies were needed to determine the clinical significance: 'These results do not indicate individuals should refrain from the use of sunscreen.' But the next day, New York medic Dr Tro Kalayjian, a specialist in obesity, stepped into the debate. He reposted the paper and told his 158,000 Twitter followers: 'Have said this many times now: Be careful what you smear on yourself and your children.' Over the next six years, the 2019 paper – Effect of Sunscreen Application Under Maximal Use Conditions on Plasma Concentration of Sunscreen Active Ingredients – has become one of the most hotly debated scientific works on Twitter and social media site BlueSky. Just last month, Dr Tro, as he refers to himself online, wrote on the website of his company Toward Health: 'Our skin and our gut are literally the physical ways our bodies interact with the world. 'They're how we absorb sunlight and nutrition… but also how toxins, heavy metals, parasites, plastics, and chemicals make their way into our bodies.' He added: 'I often tell patients, 'If you wouldn't trust it inside your body, think twice before putting it on your skin or in your mouth'.' While Dr Tro does not advise against all sunscreens, he says some – like other cosmetics – contain harmful substances. He says barriers such as clothing, hats and shade should be considered. He founded Toward Health, which specialises in obesity treatment and diabetes management in New York in 2017 after losing 150lb on a low-carbohydrate diet. Dr Tro told The MoS: 'I understand those who deeply value public health messaging may struggle with the idea previously recommended practices can become outdated or even unsafe. 'It can feel more comfortable to trust the guidance as-is and view any challenge to it as fearmongering or misinformation. 'But the truth is, these issues are complex. People benefit most when they think critically and independently. Public health messages are important and should be heard, but should also be open to question, especially when the science evolves faster than the guidelines.' UK doctors dismissed the scares. Skin cancer prevention doctor Ross Perry said he is 'horrified' by influencers' comments, calling Ms Faiers 'naive and irresponsible'. Dr Perry told The MoS: 'Children do not build up a tolerance to sun exposure – they are just storing up more sun damage for later on in life. 'It is a well-known fact if children get any degree of sunburn, it more than doubles their risk of getting skin cancer at a later date so that is completely false and misleading. 'Remember any tan or sunburn is creating damage to the skin so SPF should always be worn in the sun.' HOW TO STAY SAFE IN THE SUN To stay sun safe, experts recommend people: Seek shade between 11am and 3pm, which is when the sun's rays are typically strongest Wear at least SPF 30 sunscreen Apply sunscreen 30 minutes, and again just before, UV exposure Opt for water-resistant sunscreen if necessary and reapply after swimming, sweating or using a towel Cover up with protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses Be extra careful with babies and young children. Infants under six months should be kept out of direct sunlight Do not use sunbeds or sunlamps Checks moles and skin for any changes
