Denise Welch's Candid Clash: Fear for Matty Healy’s Reaction After Taylor Swift Comments

Denise Welch shared her concerns about her son Matty Healy's reaction to her cutting remark about his ex Taylor Swift during Andy Cohen chat on Thursday... but it didn't stop her from revealing her WORST celebrity chat in another savage jibe

DENISE WELCH'S TAYLOR SWIFT ROAST: THE SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT HER ROCKSTAR SON AND THE POETRY OF DREAD

In a jaw-dropping appearance on Bravo TV's Watch What Happens Live, Denise Welch dished out the tea on her famous family and her infamous feud with Taylor Swift. The actress and presenter didn't hold back as she shared her candid thoughts on being Taylor's mother-in-law (or rather, not being it) and the drama that unfolded when the pop star released her chart-topping album Tortured Poets Department.

Denise's son Matty Healy, the charismatic frontman of The 1975, has a complicated history with Swift. And let's just say his mum was more than willing to spill all the tea on their short-lived romance and its aftermath. When asked about her reaction to Taylor's album, Denise dropped this bombshell: "Being her mother-in-law is a role that I am glad that I lost." Ouch!

Andy asked whether she thought she would have any remorse tomorrow, the host asked: 'Are you going to hear from your son?' as she added: 'Yeah' (pictured with Matty in 2023)

The Celebrity Big Brother alum seemed to insinuate that Swifties are notorious for policing any critical comments made about their beloved singer, and then she writes an entire album about it. Talk about some serious poetic license! Denise quipped, "She – listen, you're not allowed to say anything, and then she writes a whole album about it." Yeah, because nothing says 'healthy relationship' like using someone as songwriting fodder.

But here's the thing: it seems Denise might have already been regretting her comments on Swift by the end of the interview. When asked if she thought she'd have any remorse tomorrow, Denise sheepishly replied, "Just a couple of things." And when Andy Cohen pressed her for more info, she laughed and said, "Yeah [I'll hear from my son]." We can only assume that Matty was getting ready to have words with his mum – or maybe even defend his ex-girlfriend's honor!

In another juicy moment from the interview, Denise revealed who she thought was the worst person she'd ever interviewed. And guess what? It wasn't Taylor Swift (although we're guessing that might be a close second). Nope, it was none other than 80-year-old American actress Mia Farrow! According to Denise, Farrow was "monosyllabic" and made for a very difficult interview.

Matty famously dated the popstar for a brief period in 2023, and speaking candidly during the interview, the presenter said: 'being her mother-in-law is a role that I am glad that I lost'

Denise seemed to have a lot of love for her rockstar son Matty, who's currently engaged to stunning model and singer Gabbriette. When asked about his reaction to Taylor's album, she said, "He's taking it all in completely good grace." We're guessing that's code for 'he's not bothered' – after all, he's got a gorgeous fiancée waiting for him!

But don't get it twisted: Denise wasn't just dishing out the drama on her son's ex. She also had some choice words about Mia Farrow, describing her as "difficult" to interview. Okay, maybe that's being kind – we're guessing she might have been a bit more... colorful than that.

In conclusion, it seems Denise Welch is not one for mincing words. Whether she's talking about her son's love life or the music industry's biggest stars, she always speaks her mind. And if you're Taylor Swift, beware: you might just find yourself on the receiving end of a cheeky roast from the mum-in-law who got away.

'It's hard to have mums on the telly... So the fact my kids are so wonderful and grounded and still love us is really quite something, but yes I probably will hear from [Matty],' she laughed
