Loose Women's Linda Robson reveals big Christmas change after split from husband
Loose Women star Linda Robson shared that she changed up her Christmas plans last year, following the end of her marriage, as she revealed she'd be spending the festive day at her eldest daughter's house instead of her own.
During a chat on Loose Women with Kaye Adams, Jane Moore and Judi Love about whether to use phones on Christmas Day, Linda said: "At my house there won't be any phones, well its not actually my house this year it's Lauren's house, but normally in my house it's no phones. "
The TV star also mentioned: "So we take the phones off them until later that day and we have a nice peaceful family time."

Linda then continued to discuss how her grandkids are hooked on their phones and explained: "My grandchildren are addicted to phones. So Lila's 11, she's just got a phone for the first time. And Betsy's seven and Betsy is not allowed on her laptop until the weekend or any mobile phones and she's like on Monday, 'is it the weekend yet' and [Linda says] no we've got another five days. "
"Honestly it just sort of takes over your life because I was addicted to the phone myself," concluded Linda.
In September 2023, the star confirmed her split from husband Mark Dunford in a heartfelt chat, as she shared that she's "feeling fine" and is trying to "keep busy."
Linda and Mark first met when they were teenagers but didn't start dating until many years later before tying the knot in 1990. The couple have two children together, Roberta, 27, and Louis, 31. Linda also has a daughter from a previous relationship, named Lauren.
During an interview with Woman magazine, she said: "He's a really good dad and we had some good years, but enough is enough. I'm not interested [in dating] honestly. I can't be a***d with all that."
Linda's confirmation came after she previously dismissed rumours of a split at the time as "rubbish." She said: "We're still living together. We both love our kids more than anything else in the world, obviously you have a few hiccups in every marriage. We've been married 33 years so it's not going to be all plain sailing, but we're still together at the moment."
Back in August last year, Linda let loose a mysterious comment about her marriage during a chat about how she spent her weekend. On Loose Women, she explained that she went out for dinner because all the kids had left home and she was only at home with her dog and her hubby.
Then she drew attention to the sequence of her story saying: "Notice the order!" as she mentioned her dog before her husband, which got all the other ladies on Loose Women giggling.
