Who wore it best? A svelte Denise Welch, 59, competes for attention with her 'drag queen' father Vin as he steals the show in a feathered bright-pink frock
She has made her mark in television appearing on some of the country's most popular television shows, including Loose Women.
But veteran star Denise Welch was upstaged at a charity event in London on Sunday by none other than her father, Vin, who dressed to the nine in drag.
The 59-year-old was definitely a chip off the old frock as she posed with her drag queen father at the Mad Drag night at Cafe de Paris.

Like father like daughter: Vin and Denise Welch beamed as they posed for the cameras
Dressed head-to-toe in chic black, Denise looked trim and taut as she laughed and and beamed at the cameras in a figure-hugging gown.
Her normally blonde hair was cropped short and styled, as she matched her black dress with long earrings and added a pop of colour with red lipstick.
But all attention was on her father Vin, who stole the show with a bright-pink frock with a feathered lining, heavy makeup and bouncing blond curls.
The 79-year-old used to work as a top drag queen in clubs and bars in the north of England, developing a taste for the outrageous.

He regularly appears at events as his outlandish alter-ego Raquel, and Denise is often by his side laughing as they pose together.
Denise, who has been candid about her rigorous weight-loss journey, showcased her lithe and slender figure and toned arms at the event.
The TV star also recently discussed her battle with depression and alcohol abuse, which she says 'robbed' her of 'the ability to love' her family.
Welch spoke candidly to Happiful magazine about her past - which even left her struggling to love son Matt, now, 28 - but admitted she now feels 'a million times better' after giving up booze.
