Brit cheeky! Denise Welch and Alex Reid try to gatecrash glitzy Brit Awards aftershow bash - but are turned away at the door

Opportunistic: Dancing On Ice and Loose Women star Denise Welch and a young friend decided to try their luck on the door at the Universal Brits afterparty at the Savoy, despite not being on the guest list
It was the hottest ticket in town - the Universal Records Brit Awards aftershow bash at London's newly-refurbished Savoy Hotel, where Cheryl Cole rubbed sequin shoulders with winners Rihanna,Take That and Tinie Tempah in five-star glamour on the banks of the Thames. 

So it was hardly surprising that lesser celebrities thought it was worth trying their luck and gatecrashing the star-studded bash at the legendary hotel.
Bouncers for the do on the Strand certainly had their work cut out - and managed to stop Dancing On Ice and Loose Women star Denise Welch entering the fray.
