HAVE LINDA AND MARK SPLIT?

Linda Robson reveals she's relying on her friends as she admits she doesn't need a partner

In recent months, Linda Robson has been open about the ups and downs she and her husband Mark Dunford have been going through. When speaking about romance on Loose Women, she previously said, ‘[Women] do want it, but when you’ve been married over 30 years then that sometimes goes out the window doesn’t it?’

Now, it seems, Linda has gone one step further to suggest that things at home are far from rosy. When her co-star, Jane Moore, explained how women want companionship from a relationship, Linda said, ‘We do yeah. I miss that.’

While there’s been nothing official, during the discussion about relationships, Linda perhaps tellingly said, ‘I feel like I don’t really need a partner to love me. I’ve got my children, my grandchildren, my sisters and my friends. I’m looking for affection, not an erection.’ She added, ‘But then as I say, I’ve got my sisters, I’ve got a group of really good friends, I’ve got you lot as well. So we all look after each other.’
