STARS praised a 'fabulous' Indian restaurant in a Northumberland town.

TV star Denise Welch was in Newcastle alongside Strictly Come Dancing's Lewis Cope and ex-Emmerdale actress Amy Nuttall for a premiere of Graham Norton's new Channel 5 series, Forever Home, on September 4.

Forever Home was filmed in Northumberland, including in Hexham market place and at Tyne Green.

Denise and her co-stars visited a popular restaurant in Hexham during the filming of the new Channel 5 series earlier this year.

Staff at Zyka were delighted to welcome Denise for the first time in March, and she returned with colleague Amy and the Forever Home party once filming concluded.

The restaurant team said at the time: "It was a pleasure to welcome one of the North East's favourite actors, Denise Welch, to Zyka Hexham."

She described the restaurant as 'fabulous'.

Denise and Amy both stayed at The Beaumont Hotel during filming.

Denise is known for her roles on Coronation Street, Waterloo Road and Hollyoaks, and for her regular panellist appearances on the ITV chat show Loose Women.
