LOOSE Women star Denise Welch joined in the joke amid bizarre reports she had gone missing in a hot air balloon.
Rumours spread at the weekend that she was last spotted drifting over northern France.
A fake online report claimed Denise, 66, and four others “vanished after launching from the UK” with the balloon having “disappeared over French airspace near Calais”.
Someone even updated her Wikipedia entry to say the actress had “disappeared somewhere over the Pyrenees”.
Denise was alerted to the report by fans.
One wrote “I can’t stop thinking about it.

“Denise you’re like the Pope to me.”
Geordie Denise later mocked memes claiming Lady Gaga was helping the hunt and Newcastle United’s parade with the Carabao Cup on Saturday was “to celebrate the safety of local legend Denise Welch”.
A friend told The Sun: “Denise found the whole thing hilarious but was baffled as to why anyone would say she’s adrift in a balloon.
“Her family has been laughing about it.”
