Linda Robson has revealed she’s lost a staggering 16lb in just two months after quitting sugar and booze. The actress, 59, made the change after confessing to drinking up to a bottle of wine a night. Here, the Loose Women star, who’s married to property developer Mark Dunford, 57, and mum to Lauren, 33, Louis, 25, and Bobbie, 20, tells us all...
Hi Linda! You’re sugar free at the moment, how are you finding it?
It’s easier now because I’ve lost 16lb, and it’s given me the encouragement to keep going. The first two weeks were really hard because I went to Florida to film a Loose Women competition with [This Morning’s] Alison Hammond and obviously all the crew were drinking of a night.
Are you still suffering from withdrawal symptoms?
No, I’m fine now. I’ve got 11 bottles of wine in the house that have been here since I started!
Are you trading the wine for another alcoholic tipple?
I went out for a meal with my husband a couple of weeks ago and he said, ‘Why don’t you have a vodka and tonic?’ So I did but I didn’t like it, so I didn’t drink it. It tastes like medicine! Instead I’m drinking sparkling water, I put a slice of lemon or lime in it.
Was it harder to quit the wine then the sugar?
