She also played the role of Sandy in the popular musical Grease at the Haymarket Theatre, Leicester, in 1984.

1988

Welch lives in Cheshire. Her first marriage was to actor David Easter, from 1983 until their divorce in 1988; Welch has since gone public with her belief that he committed adultery.

They married in Haringey, London, in 1988 and have two children: Matthew Timothy (born 8 April 1989, Hendon, London), who is a member of the alternative rock band the 1975, and Louis Vincent (born 2 March 2001, Salford).

Welch gained even wider notability in 1997, when she was cast as Natalie Horrocks in the long-running ITV soap opera Coronation Street.

Originally portrayed as a femme fatale, Natalie rose to respectability by becoming landlady of the soap’s public house The Rovers Return. In 2000, the Coronation Street producers wanted her to perform a storyline involving Natalie having a miscarriage, but she refused, saying the character had already lost her husband and son. However, Welch, who was expecting a baby the same year, decided to leave the serial. At the time, Welch commented, “I am looking forward to being a mum again and spending some time with my baby and am relishing the prospect of new challenges in my career.” A spokesperson for Granada TV commented “The character [Natalie] will be gone as she moves to somewhere new, we wish Denise well both for the birth of her baby and for her future career.”
