'Tom Cruise skipping the Oscars to watch Denise Welch perform stand up was not on my 2023 bingo card': Loose Women star leaves Hollywood actor howling with laughter as she tells crude joke at Michael Caine's birthday
Sir Michael Caine had an eclectic guest list at his 90th birthday dinner on Tuesday evening and they all appeared to get on like a house on fire.
The acting legend celebrated his milestone year with an intimate dinner at London's River Cafe, with Tom Cruise who just days earlier chose to skip the 2023 Oscars ceremony, one of the VIP guests.
Also in attendance was Sir Michael's close friend, Loose Women star Denise Welch who has the Hollywood guests in hysterics during her speech.
Denise shared an amusing video of herself telling a very rude joke at Michael's expense at the fun-filled dinner party, leaving Hollywood star Tom and other guests in absolute stitches.

In the clip posted to Instagram, Denise quipped: 'Only the other morning, [Michael's wife Shakira] said she heard a scream from downstairs, it was Michael shouting 'Shakira look, there's a parcel, my Olympic condoms have come.
'He said 'I'm going to wear the gold ones tonight', and she said 'why not wear the silver and c**e f**king second for a change'.'
As the camera panned around, Tom appeared to be weeping with laughter as he sat beside Michael, who appeared amused as he enjoyed his glass of red wine.
The clip was filmed by Denise's husband Lincoln, who could be heard telling another party-goer: 'I live with her.'
In a caption alongside the video, Denise joked that it appeared Hollywood star Tom likes a rude joke just as much as her friend Michael does.
She wrote: 'Such an honour to be asked by Shakira to say a few words at Sir Michael Caines' 90th birthday!!! He loves a dirty joke and so does @tomcruise it appears!!!! Great night and amazing company.'
Denise's fans were delighted by the video, with one quipping: 'Tom Cruise skipping the Oscars to watch Denise perform stand up was not on my 2023 bingo card.'
Tom skipped the Oscars on Sunday, reportedly to 'avoid an awkward run-in' with Nicole Kidman.
Insiders speaking to DailyMail.com said the Top Gun: Maverick star was not at the ceremony due to his ex-wife being there - following their bitter divorce over 20 years ago. Cruise's movie was nominated for six awards, including the coveted Best Picture Award.
Denise cut a glamorous figure in a sparkling black gown as she took to Instagram to share a snap of herself wrapping her arms around Michael's neck at the bash.
Alongside the picture, she gushed: 'Happy 90th birthday Michael Caine!!! We love you.'
Denise and Michael were introduced by her husband Lincoln Townley after the artist painted the movie icon's portrait in 2016.

Back in July, she dished on their close friendship, calling him 'wonderful' and a 'legend'.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline while she attended the TRIC Awards, she said: 'Michael is a complete legend. I was very nervous of him when I first met him, he's a huge fan of my husband's work. I became very good friends with Shakira with his wife.
'We see them as regularly as possible and I adore him - it's my favorite shot in the world when I get papped with Michael Caine because I feel so cool!
'We don't seem to make movie stars like that anymore. He's just a legendary actor and he's just wonderful.'
