Onto a winner: This Morning scooped Best Live Magazine show yet again at the NTAs
Denise, from Sunderland, joined This Morning for its first broadcast in 1988. Her popularity led to her being offered her own TV show in 2000, called Dear Denise.
She made several guest appearances on other TV programmes and was a regular fixture on Channel 5's Big Brother's Bit On The Side.
Denise was widowed twice - losing first husband Alex to cancer in 1972 and then Jack to a stroke in 1995. She also lost her 44-year-old stepson John to cancer in 2006.
She was awarded an MBE a decade ago and given the freedom of the City of Sunderland.
