Denise Welch admits she has a "flashing compulsion"

Denise Welch has admitted she has a "flashing compulsion."

The Loose Women star said she just can't stop lifting up her top and giving men an eyeful of her cleavage.

Welch famously showed former sex addict Russell Brand her bra when he appeared on the daytime show.

But she said he wasn't special.

She admitted: "I think I have a flashing compulsion. I've done it on this show more than once, that's why Westlife have never come back on.

"It's got nothing to do with alcohol, if I'm at work, I'll see the drivers or whoever's down there and I'm a bit bored and they look bored and I just flash them. With a bra on obviously.

"And what they've said to me is we don't mind you doing that but if obviously you're going to continue with your flashing compulsion at least invest in some nice underwear.

"I did it on this show for Russell Brand and my friend Rose said to me it was obviously impromptu because your bra was so horrible.

"It's just sort of a compulsion. It's a shock thing. Unfortunately I've done it to my friends so much it's not a shock thing, it's actually boring.

"I don't know what it is."

But Welch draws the line at flashing other parts.

She said: "The one thing I wouldn't be able to do is moon because the thought of flashing the kind of knickers that I wear, big knickers, or my bum, I'm getting a rash thinking of it."
