TV legend Vanessa Feltz has joked she may swing the opposite way after failing to find a man.

The presenter was a guest at the star-studded Rainbow Honours 2026 in London celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community. Rather taken with her fellow attendees Feltz quipped : You may, or may not know, Im reluctantly single. And so exquisite are the array of beauties of all proclivities this evening, Im wondering - really seriously - do you think its worth my casting my net a little wider?

"Ive been thinking of a pair of brilliant breasts, which I could use, maybe, as a pillow. Not a route Ive gone down before

Another special guest was actress and Loose Women legend Denise Welch who has been supporting the cause for decades. In fact she took a moment to thank her famous son Matty Healy for doing his bit.

In 2023 Healy sparked international controversy at the Good Vibes Festival in Kuala Lumpur when he criticised Malaysia's anti-LGBT laws, drank alcohol on stage, and kissed male bandmate Ross MacDonald.

Denise told RH2026: I am a proud ally. Im also very proud that, because of my love of the community, my sons both straight, disappointingly, but anyway they have taken on the mantle.

"My eldest Matthew, who is the lead singer of The 1975, is such a supporter he has actually been banned from Dubai and Malaysia he maybe shouldnt have said, Your president is a f***ing wanker! Its probably the wrong thing to say, but I just want you to know that Ive brought up two boys who really, really want to carry on [my advocacy].
