Denise is also mother to teenage daughters – Sam, 16; and Lola, turning 15 next month – from her four-year marriage to Charlie Sheen, which ended in 2006.

‘I tell them this will pass. It will. We all just can’t panic. It’s something that the entire world is going through… This is something none of us have experienced before.’
