Loose Women panellist Linda Robson announced her split from her husband Mark Dunford after 33 years of marriage as she admitted ‘enough was enough’

Linda Robson appears to be back to business after announcing her split from husband of 33 years.

 

She confirmed her separation from Mark Dunford earlier this week as the Loose Women star said “enough is enough” in a tell-all magazine interview. But since spilling on her break-up, the 65-year-old admits she’s “feeling fine” and is attempting to “keep busy”.

Linda says she’s surrounded by family and is taking regular trips away in a bid to take her mind off the split. Linda and Mark first met when they were teens but didn’t begin dating until years later. They tied the knot in 1990 and the former couple went on to welcome two children together; Roberta, 27, and Louis, 31.

Giving an update on her current situation, Linda admitted: “I’ve got my family and my kids around me. And I’m going on a cruise with Lesley Joseph in November. I’m keeping busy. I feel fine. I’m just going away on trips all the time.”

 

Linda had sparked speculation of marriage woes for months as she spoke about her and Mark’s relationship on Loose Women. Speaking in September, Linda said she was “not looking for anyone”, before swearing and saying she “can’t be f***ked”.

Now, the star has confirmed to Woman magazine she is single. She said of her ex-husband Mark: “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 sparked further speculation of marriage woes with comments on Loose Women – one of which saw her discuss her sex life, as she revealed she and Mark had not had sex in two years. Linda said on the ITV show in June: “Can I just say I’ve been celibate for two years?”, before Denise Welch chimed in to add: “I know, but you’ve got to get with it.”

 

Linda then went on to say: “I know, you got me a lady friend,” before Denise confirmed she did make the purchase. However, Linda had previously dismissed concerns over her marriage – insisting rumours she and Mark were no longer together as “rubbish”.

Discussing the speculation, Linda said: “That’s a load of rubbish. 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.”

Then, in August, Linda made a cryptic comment about Mark and her marriage struggles as she made a dig at her husband when she discussed how she spent her weekend. In a chat about her weekend on the programme, Linda revealed she took herself out for dinner as all the kids had flown the next and the only people she was home with was her dog and her husband, before she added: “Notice the order!” She had mentioned her pet pooch before her husband, making the other Loose Women stars break out in hysterics.
