Denise Welch has released a Christmas single, Slayyy Bells, in collaboration with Celebrations chocolates, marking her return to music 30 years after her only chart hit. The Loose Women star announced the track on Instagram on Monday, describing it as a festive anthem about doing Christmas your way.
The song, available on Spotify and Apple Music, includes lyrics celebrating her Geordie roots, such as 'Who's to say it's turkey? Geordies love roast ham like mad!' Welch, 65, said she is 'serving looks not turkey' and encouraged fans to enjoy the holidays with fun and freedom.
Welch previously reached number 23 in the UK charts in the mid-1990s with a cover of Dusty Springfield's You Don't Have To Say You Love Me. That single featured a music video with Newcastle United players and TV personalities. Now, she hopes Slayyy Bells could become a surprise contender for Christmas number one.
