Denise Welch has revealed details of the time she stormed off set because of a director’s language.
A director’s inflammatory exchange with Denise Welch left her with details of an angry exchange.
The Loose Women star recalled the story as she admitted she has only stormed off set twice in her life. Denise, 67, admitted she was left feeling patronised by the director which caused her to loose her cool. Speaking to GK Barry on the latest episode of ITV’s Loose Women Just Between Us podcast Denise admitted that the cast and crew were stunned by her reaction as she isn’t know for being a diva.
“We had rehearsals for the cameras about 20 times, so I was on the set of a show for many, many, years ago,” Denise said. A challenging shot was made. Something had to come out of the sugar glass. I’ll rehearse until the cows arrive, and then they said, “Okay, turn over.”
She continued, “Oh, hang on a minute,” and I just said, “Oh, hang on a minute.” Please excuse me. Could the actors only undergo one rehearsal? The director responded, “It’s okay. Don’t worry about that, my pretty little head. We won’t make you look bad.
Denise explained how angry she was when she left the set, requesting an apology. She responded, “And I just said, Okay, I’m just going to take my pretty little head to my dressing room until you come and apologize to me.” It’s very different from having a little banter from being patronized. Do you comprehend my definition?
The crew members quickly learned that Denise had “stormed off set,” and Denise later confirmed that she had never regretted it. And because you behave well and don’t even care about it, you actually have a better chance of being diva-ish when something like that occurs, in my opinion.
Then, Grace inquired if Denise’s director had offered an apology, but she quickly confirmed it was insufficient. She claimed that “the people I wanted to have seen it knew which way to go because they had seen it on the monitors.”
GK and Denise had been answering a dilemma sent in by a fan about how to handle a difficult boss without HR support, as Denise recommended they go to Citizens Advice. ITV recently announced that Loose Women will no longer be running for 52 weeks of the year, and has instead been reduced to just 30 in a bid to cut costs.
Daytime is a very significant component of what we do, according to Kevin Lygo, managing director of ITV’s Media and Entertainment Division.
The Managing Director continued, “These scheduling and production changes will allow us to continue to deliver a schedule that gives viewers the news, debate, and discussion they adore from the presenters they know and trust.” They will also save money that will allow us to reinvest the program budget in other genres.
“These changes also help us consolidate our news operations, expand our national, international, and regional news output, and strengthen our long-standing reputation for reliable journalism at a time when our viewers are more and more in need of accurate, objective news coverage.
