Linda Robson owes £3k in parking fines but insists 'I'm a national treasure - I park where I like'
Loose Woman star Linda Robson has opened up about the staggering amount she owes in parking fines.
The Birds of a Feather actress appeared on Good Morning Britain to promote her new movie Bermondsey Tales: Fall of The Roman Empire - her first film role in 10 years.
But Linda also admitted to her parking blunders - and that she owes £3,000 in parking fines. Speaking to GMB hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls, Linda laughed as she revealed her children have taken her car keys off her.
She told them: “They've taken my car keys off of me, my kids, they're taking control of my money and my car. So I'm not allowed to drive anymore because I just go, ‘Well, I'm a national treasure - I can park wherever I like’.”
With her kids taking control of her finances, Linda then revealed she gets her pocket money on ‘Monday and Friday’.
When asked what she spent it on, Linda replied: “I like candles, so I buy expensive candles. And I like treating my family, my kids and my sisters.”
Linda also left Susanna lost for words when she told her that close friend Joe Swash lost his virginity at her house. Susanna asked whether that was something Joe wanted to be aired on national television, but Linda assured her the news was already out there.
Appearing on Loose Women back in 2022, Joe confessed to doing the deed in Linda’s home.
Joe and Linda are old family friends who used to live opposite each other. As they chatted about their history, Joe said: "Growing up, you knew my Dad. My mum still lives next door to Linda's sister, we used to go on holidays together."
Linda cut Joe off and asked with a cheeky smile: "Just to finish off, what did you lose in my house?"
Joe looked bashful hesitated before he replied: "I became a man in Linda's house" implying that he'd lost his virginity in the home of the Loose Women panellist causing the panel and the audience to fall around in hysterics.
Speaking more about her upcoming movie, Linda confirmed she’s “proud” to be making a film “south of the river.”
Linda said: “Gary Webster plays my husband in it, I’m the matriarch of the family looking after everyone and my husbands on his way out so we’re all around his bed about to say goodbye to him and they’re all in line waiting to hear who’s going to take over as the lead - but it’s a comedy, it’s really funny.”
