Linda Robson has revealed that she’s been banned from driving by her children after racking up thousands of pounds worth of parking fines.
She told Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid and Ed Balls, ‘I’ve just paid £3,000 worth of parking tickets.’ The Loose Women star continued, ‘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 any more because I just go, “Well, I’m a national treasure – I can park wherever I like.”’
The former Birds of a Feather star, 66, also explained that her kids are keeping an eye on her spending habits. ‘I get pocket money on a Monday and a Friday because I can’t be trusted with my money either,’ she confessed.
Linda previously addressed her huge pile of parking fines, writing in her memoir Truth Be Told: Tales From a Baggy Mouth, out earlier this year, ‘I can’t think of anything worse than retiring… I’d be bored out of my mind! In any case, I need to keep working because I’ve got parking tickets to pay off.’
She also opened up about her prior ‘spiralling debt’ and admitted, ‘I’ve never been any good with money unless it’s spending it.’
