The 60-year-old actress revealed the embarrassing moment she forgot to take the intimate item out of her bag and leave it in her suitcase as she jetted out for a break during a very busy time for airports.

Appearing on 'Loose Women' and opening up about her most awkward moments, she laughed: "I once left a vibrator in my hand luggage when I was going on holiday.

"It was half term, it was a shoulder massager."

At the end of the episode on Monday (18.02.19), host Andrea McLean apologised for the racy airport story, and jokingly suggested that Denise hadn't meant to name a raunchy item on air.

She quipped: "We do have to also say, a quick apology for what Denise said. She meant electric tooth brush."

Denise - who left the other panellists in hysterics with her x-rated confession - also recalled another more innocent exchange she had with former Labour party leader Ed Miliband.

She said: "I thought I recognised him and (I thought he was) the guy who used to do my fillers.

"So I was going to him, 'Don't look at me!' (I told my friend) 'He's looking really weird at me' and she replied, 'That's because it's Ed Miliband'. I just knew he was really familiar and he was looking at me."

Andrea also shared her own experiences of having excessive Botox injections in the past, and admitted she didn't like the results.

She added: "At the moment I've had a little bit here. But I get the angry frown and that's it. I'm really open about it because it is obvious, but I don't care because I don't like it."
