Rylan Clark had a hilarious two-word response to Denise Welch on Tuesday after a recent death hoax.
The Loose Women star, 65, was forced to confirm that she's "alive and well" on Sunday night after being left baffled by false reports circulating earlier in the day that she had died.
Denise took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to assure her 557k followers that she was not dead after her Wikipedia page was hijacked with the disinformation and untrue claims, writing: "I'm alive and well and about to watch the jungle", before thanking the public for their concern.
On Tuesday's This Morning, Rylan, 35, spoke to Ruth Langsford to find out what was coming up on today's Loose Women. Ruth, 63, teased: "Find out why Denise went viral, yes viral, viral she's been on the Internet and find out why at 12:30pm."
