Denise Welch and her toyboy husband, Lincoln Townley, are making big moves—literally! The couple, who have been married for over a decade, have just shared a huge update about their life plans, leaving fans buzzing with excitement. The pair are seriously considering relocating to France, and they’re house hunting near none other than Carol McGiffin, Denise’s former Loose Women co-star.
In a stunning Instagram story, Denise revealed that she and Lincoln are looking for properties in the South of France, close to Carol and her husband, Mark Cassidy. The couple shared a candid selfie with Carol and Mark, sparking speculation about their plans to make the move official.
“Been house hunting in France near our much-missed friends @mcgiff and @cassola21. Fab few days with my @lincolntownley #younghubbies #theysaiditwouldntlast,” Denise captioned the photo, igniting rumors that the couple is ready for a fresh start abroad.
A New Life, a New Chapter?
This exciting move comes hot on the heels of Carol McGiffin’s bombshell comments about her exit from Loose Women. Following her departure from the show in 2023, Carol put to rest any rumors that she would return to save the show. Carol, who had a long run on the panel, revealed that her time on Loose Women was over for good and she’s very much enjoying life in France with her husband.
Taking to social media, Carol said, “For the record, not a chance of a return. I am very happy being semi-retired and living a lovely life with my gorgeous husband in the South of France. Thank you.” 💬
Was Carol Pushed Out?
Carol’s exit from Loose Women wasn’t entirely voluntary. In a candid interview, she revealed she was “forced” out due to contract disputes with ITV. “They tried to push me onto the ITV payroll, but I didn’t need to be. I lived in France, I wasn’t even a British taxpayer.” Carol’s revelations suggest the network wasn’t offering her a fair deal, leaving her with no choice but to walk away.
Now, with Denise and Lincoln considering a move so close to Carol, the plot thickens. Is this the end of their Loose Women days? Could this mark a major shift for these former stars?
Stay tuned as the drama unfolds. Will Denise and Lincoln find their dream home in the South of France, or is this just the beginning of a major life shake-up? 💥
