Speaking to co-stars Ruth Langsford, Stacey Solomon and Saira Khan, she admitted the problem started during her first marriage to Tim Healy and the birth of her son Matt, the frontman of band 1975, in 1989.

But her second husband Lincoln Townley, 46, has found his own methods of dealing with it. 

'Not only is it ruining my life, but also Lincoln's life, it's so bad. Mine started when I met Tim and had Matt, or I had some very considerate lovers before who hadn't mentioned it,' she explained, adding:

'I am always tired. I think it's because it might be a form of sleep apnea... I even snore on the train. It can cause a stroke.'

Denise confessed if the tables were turned, she wouldn't be so patient if her husband snored. 'If Lincoln snored, I'd be on snapped women who kill!' she quipped. 

Stacey Solomon jumped in to reveal that her partner Joe Swash is also a snorer, complaining: 'Joe also does it bless him, if he ends up laying on his back, that's when it is the worst!'
