Denise Welch, talk show host and mother of 1975 front man Matty Healy, is auctioning off her personal Glastonbury Brat flag that had her name printed on it as well as a bra attached to it. The flag, in the famous bold fluorescent green Brat colour went viral on social media after Welch and ex-husband Tim Healy, waved it off during their son’s set at the Pyramid Stage of the festival last month. Welch revealed the flag had been created by close comedian friend Josh Widdicombe.
The flag was very obviously inspired by The 1975’s drummer’s fiancée and cultural phenomenon Charli XCX and her acclaimed album ‘Brat’ which came out in June 2024.
Denise has now put the Brat flag, which comes with the bra still, up for auction to raise money for Children North East, a charity which provides mental health support for children, helps support families in crisis, youth services and safe spaces, as well as support groups.
A total of 13 people have placed a bid for the item which now has a price going up to £685. The auction will end on Monday August 11 and will see Denise personally present the flag to the winner.
She took to Instagram to say: “So at Glastonbury in June, @charli_xcx showed me a photo and said, ‘Have you seen the Denise Welch Brat flag!! It became quite a story and featured on lots of the coverage of the festival especially @loosewomen of course!!! We’re now auctioning the flag (and bra) to raise money for the amazing @children_ne who do so much for children living in poverty in the north east of England. It would be so kind of you would bid for the flag and whoever wins I’ll present it to them personally! (sic)”
