Denise Welch, 65, dazzles in sequinned hot pants and fishnet tights as she hosts Moulin Rouge themed charity ball

Denise Welch dazzled in a sequinned outfit as she hosted the annual GEM Ball at Kimpton Clocktower Hotel in Manchester on Saturday. 

The presenter, 65, looked incredible in a pair of silver hot pants and fishnet tights for the Moulin Rouge themed charity bash. 

She completed her look with an off-the-shoulder tasseled top, long black gloves and a small fascinator top hat. 

Denise, who is a patron for the charity, co-hosted the event with Jenny Powell, who wore a chic black gown. 

The GEM appeal works to raise money to research into treatments for life threatening genetic and metabolic disorders.

She was joined at the event by Nikki Sanderson, Kimberley Hart Simpson, and Stephanie Wring. 

Last month, Denise’s son Matty Healy baffled fans as The 1975 claimed the singer was eating a phone on stage during their performance in Chicago. 

Unphased, his mother joked about the singer’s shocking act on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Matty, 34, was captured on the edge of the stage as he appeared to bite chunks out of a light blue phone.

But upon close inspection, Matty was not consuming the electronic device – only a sweet treat disguised as a mobile.

The disguise consisted of a pale blue fondant wrapped around a thin chocolate sponge with a creamy white filling. 

The 1975 posted a picture of the star on X with the caption: ‘Matty Healy is eating a phone. Yes.’

While racking up more than 620,000 views, fans were quick to point out that the clever stunt was, in fact, just a chocolate treat.

Glamourous: Kimberley Hart Simpson and Stephanie Wring were also in attendance 

One fan wrote: ‘The show is so weird tonight. At least it’s not raw steak. Looks like a Pop Tart.’

Another penned: ‘The inside looks like cookies and crème, and the outside looks like some kind of fondant icing which was then painted with edible paint to mimic the look of an iPhone.’

But Loose Women star Denise, seemed to enjoy going along with the joke as she retweeted the post with the caption: ‘Hope he didn’t leave any. He wasn’t brought up that way’.

The band are currently on tour in America and set to take centre stage in the UK in February 2024.
