At the age of 17, she considered enrolling in a teaching college in Crewe; however, her father and her drama instructor encouraged her to apply to the Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts in London. Welch was a success in her application and graduated in 1979, earning her Equity Card while teaching dance at the Watford Palace Theatre.

Personal life

Welch and Tim Healy met when they were interning for Newcastle's Live Theatre Company together. Matthew Healy (born 8 April 1989, Hendon, London) and Louis Vincent (born 2 March 2001, Salford) married in Haringey, London, and have two children: Matthew Healy (born 8 April 1989, Hendon, London), who is a member of the alternative rock band The 1975 and Louis Vincent (born 2 March 2001, Salford) and Louis Vincent (born 2 March 2001, Salford).

On February 6, 2012, Welch announced that she and Healy were no longer together and that they had been together for a long time.

JANET STREET PORTER: I felt ashamed to be the victim of a violent partner as thousands of others. However, the real shame is with the lazy police officers who treat domestic violence as Britain's dirty little mystery

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 7, 2024
JANET STREET-PORTER: If you've been a victim of physical, verbal or sexual abuse from someone you thought cared, why do you feel embarrassed, almost as if it's your fault? Could it be because the police don't seem to take violence against women seriously? Our economy may be stagnant, but there is a boom in one sector - domestic violence. Every year, millions of incidents are recorded, but criminals get away with it. The new conviction rate for rape is shocking. Cases take longer than ever to bring to court. And often, the police suspect that a woman wearing a short skirt or had a few drinks 'asked for it.' Too many coppers haven't made it to the modern world; they're stuck in the 1950s' sluggish shaming attitude. A string of shocking revelations about the macho culture in certain departments has fundamentally undermined women's confidence in the service.
