The Loose Women presenter clashed with the Hollywood actor during their time on Celebrity Big Brother and while Denise – who won the Channel 5 show – initially hoped to put the acrimony behind them, she is upset that Michael thinks she had a crush on him.

Speaking on ITV1’s Loose Women she said: “The show was interesting, I think I’ve made some very good friends, but I’d be happy if I never see Michael Madsen’s face again.

“There was no sexual tension. I became aware during the Japanese talk show segment in the house that the outside world was trying to make out that there was some sexual tension between us.

“I would have come out of that house and said ‘You can’t please everyone all of the time’ and put it all behind us but then something happened.

“On Big Brother they say you can’t ever share your medication with another housemate but sometimes Michael would have a really bad migraine that would last for three hours so I went to Michael and quietly said ‘There’s a pill for you in the toilet’ and apparently I was begging him for sex.”

While Denise, 53, was crowned champion of Celebrity Big Brother, she thought former rugby player Gareth Thomas would take first place as she found it quite difficult to cope in the house.

She said: “We all thought that Gareth would win. All I thought was that I couldn’t walk out, but being separated from your friends and family is difficult.

“I didn’t even have a letter from my kids.”
