It comes after Denise implored people to stop prioritising COVID-19 after revealing a friend’s daughter died of cancer.
The TV personality took to Twitter on Tuesday where she informed her fans of the tragic death of the teen.
And in an impassioned plea, Denise urged people to stop putting the coronavirus above everything else as she pointed out that people have died of ‘horrible, cruel deaths before coronavirus.’
At present, over 40,000 people have lost their lives to coronavirus with the UK, with there currently being 289k confirmed cases of COVID-19.

But the TV star has begged that people recognise that there are others suffering from a whole manner of other diseases including cancer.
In a passionate post on Twitter, she penned: ‘Someone I know has just lost her 14 yr old daughter to cancer.
‘Can we please remember, that people have been dying awful, horrible cruel deaths before coronavirus, during coronavirus & will continue to suffer and die. Please can we stop only prioritising Covid19.’
Her post was soon flooded with responses from other Twitter users, with many sharing experiences of loved ones having passed away from other illnesses.

The star responded to some of the messages as she shared her sympathies with a number of her fans.
To drive home her point further, the former Coronation Street actress then went on to retweet other tweets which share their fears that there’s too much focus on coronavirus.
One of the tweets she shared included: ‘Tens of thousands of people have missed out on vital cancer treatment during lockdown. I dread to think how many cancers have gone undiagnosed, that will cost countless lives. It seriously angers me to be honest – this culture of fear has to be reversed and fast.’
