Linda Robson has recalled the moment she was targeted by a troll as she enjoyed a cooked breakfast with Birds of a Feather co-star Pauline Quirke – but refused to reveal what she told them

The 66-year-old actress was back on the panel for Tuesday’s (July 9) episode of the ITV lunchtime show alongside Christine Lampard, Coleen Nolan and Gloria Hunniford.

They kicked off the programme by discussing whether or not bad behaviour should be called out. As the famous foursome debated the topic, Linda explained: “A quite of things have happened over the years when people have been quite rude. I can remember once I was out having lunch with Pauline Quirke.

“We had a big fry-up breakfast in front of us and this women comes marching over to us and goes ‘You shouldn’t be eating that or you’ll end up looking like her’. It was terrible. I won’t tell you what I said because I’ll lose my job if I tell you but I wasn’t happy.”

It comes after Linda left viewers confused during Monday’s (July 8) edition of Loose Women as she made a crytpic comment about her marriage.

She confirmed her separation from Mark Dunford last year and earlier this year ruled out finding love again as she planned to move out of her long-term home into a two-bed house near her children.

However, Linda spoke about about her “husband” and being married for 33 years live on air, leaving viewers confused. The panellists aired a debate titled: “Does marriage work better for men than women?” at the time.

Linda said: “I think once the kids leave home it’s all different then, because that’s the glue that keeps you all together. I think once the kids are gone and they’ve got their own lives and they don’t need you anymore – I think then it all changes.

“So yeah, I’ve been married 33 years and I’m getting old now. I just want to enjoy the last few years that I’ve got left, so I went on holiday on my own but my son and his partner were out there as well. So it was just really nice, but I’ll go away on my own anyway and I’m very sociable but my husband’s not that sociable, so I’ve always done things on my own anyway.”

Taking to Twitter, now X, viewers were left confused over Linda talking about being married for 33 years and calling Mark her husband following their split. One person said: “I thought Linda’s marriage was over? #LooseWomen” to which others interacted with the tweet. The Mirror has contacted Linda’s representative for comment.

It comes as Linda opened up about her split earlier this year from Mark, the father of her children Louis, 32, and Bobbie, 28. The TV star said at the time that there was nothing dramatic about the split and they simply grew apart, telling OK! magazine: “People do, sometimes, don’t they? We never had that much in common. I’m very sociable. Mark never enjoyed that side of things.”

“I’ve been sad about it, of course I have,” she added. “But we had two lovely children together. But they’re all grown up, living their own lives now. Now, it’s me and Dolly the dog. [But] I’m in a really good place. Work’s good.”
