The TV personality, 65, who is the mother of The 1975 frontman , was discussing the royal family on Monday’s episode of the ITV panel show when she made the comments.
It comes as the Princess of Wales has , after ‘planned abdominal surgery’ which forced her to cancel upcoming engagements. At the same time, King Charles went into hospital for an enlarged prostate, and during investigations, though .
‘The Kate Middleton thing, I have nothing against her, I don’t know her. I hope she’s alright.
Just tell us what’s the matter. Just tell us. Just do a photo, whether it’s from your bed or whatever it is. You are creating a media frenzy.
‘And now the conspiracy theories are starting, which of course they’re going to do. So just say what is the matter with her?’
Denise added: ‘I don’t understand them telling us about Charles’ cancer but not telling us where the cancer is and how he is. Don’t make half a statement.’
Ruth Langsford pointed out that some would argue even the Royals deserve a modicum of privacy – which was reflected in social media reactions to the segment, with users slating Denise for demanding transparency.
User Alice asked ‘how is [Kate] creating a media frenzy? People don’t know how to mind their own business.’
@TellyVsPodcasts called her a ‘nosy parker’, adding ‘just because she over shares inappropriately.’ @Barryis7 agreed ‘Denise needs to have some respect for others women’s health privacy. Just because she likes to tell all about herself doesn’t mean everyone does.’
User Kelly claimed Denise was acting like a ‘vile bully,’ and asked ‘why should any woman be bullied into disclosing their health issues?’
Jonathan Lansana fumed: ‘They told us Kate had surgery and would be [off] duties until after Easter. What more do they bloody had to give, it’s not really our business.’
And user 2012 told her to ‘mind your business … just because you bare all your dirty washing.’
Kate has been out of the public eye for over two months, with Kensington Palace insisting she is ‘doing well’ despite no major updates on her health.
Denise is correct in that the void of information has allowed conspiracy theories to take root, from the barmy – such as that she’s growing out a bad haircut – to the more sinister.
Aides for the princess stepped in to attempt to quell the rumours this week, though declined to give any details.
A spokesperson told The Sun: ‘We were really clear from the start we weren’t going to provide a running commentary on the Princess of Wales’s health and only provide significant updates.
‘Obviously, we’ve seen the madness of social media and that is not going to change our strategy. There has been much on social media but the Princess has a right to privacy and asks the public to respect that.’
