Denise Welch wets herself "all the time".
The 61-year-old actress has confessed she regularly wets herself when sneezing or laughing – but she refuses to feel embarrassed about it.
Speaking in response to a new advert for incontinence pads, Denise told the ‘Loose Women’ panel: "I wet myself all the time. I’m very open about it. I should have done more pelvic floor exercises, I realise that now!
"I make a joke of it and I’m always forgetting to get my Tena Ladies and thinking, ‘Oh I should have brought my Tena Ladies – lend me a Tena!’"
Denise says she’s simply learned to make light of incontinence as a means of overcoming any sense of awkwardness.
She said: "I get through that with humour, I don’t make any bones about it.
"I’m not really embarrassed about it; I don’t know if that’s just me but I know a lot of people are embarrassed by it. So to me, if I was an adverting executive – which I’m not so would know very little – I would make an advert with humour."
Meanwhile, Denise previously admitted she felt obliged to share her battle with depression on social media.
The actress felt a responsibility to open up about her darker moments because she regularly shares the "wonderful things" with fans and feels it’s important to show both sides of her life.
Denise said: "I feel that if I share the wonderful things in my life. I feel, as a mental health advocate, that I should share the other side of my life.
"I feel that with social media we live in this era of compare and despair, everyone is comparing their lives to these other lives that are completely unrealistic.
"People are still frightened to talk but feel safer knowing that someone else is going through the same thing."
