At the moment there seems to be quite a few nutters out there who have nothing better to do with their time than send celebrities abusive messages on Twitter.

Denise Welch is the latest in a long line of celebs to have received such messages; she’s had to call the police after getting sent Tweets by someone urging her to kill herself.

Understandably the CBB winner, who’s just split from her husband after allegedly having an affair, became concerned after reading the following outpouring of hate from one Tweeter.

'Hope Tim Healy gets paternity test and Denise Welch slits her wrists the disgusting w**re pig.

'Charity work my a**e. Coke up your nose and d*** up your hole more like. Hope your kids euthanise you in a yr or two.’'

'So glad all the s**t on Denise Welch has hit the papers. What a scummy bully s**g.

'So disgusting the carry on of Denise Welch on Loose Women and her pride in affairs and drunken behaviour. She’s no role model.’

Finally Denise, who’s been having sleepless nights since announcing her break up from Tim, had enough and replied:

‘By the way, my work have reported you to the police and they've traced you. Have a good day.’

Fortunately, aside from this incident, Denise has said that the overall support she’s received from her fans has been overwhelmingly positive. In an interview this week she revealed:

'With all of the amazing response from the public, and especially on Twitter, it’s a shame that just a few horrible and evil faceless tweeters will get extra publicity for writing such vile things. I’m made of stern stuff so I’ll be fine.

'I don’t normally respond but I just felt they needed putting in their place.'
