Loose Women star Linda Robson has revealed that she is spending Christmas at her daughter’s house instead of her own home following the tragic split with her husband of 33 years

Loose Women star Linda Robson has revealed that she will be breaking tradition by spending Christmas at her eldest daughter’s house, following the breakdown of her marriage.

The daytime ITV panelist, 65, told viewers of her change to her festive plans during her appearance on Loose Women today [22 December]. Along with Kaye Adams, Jane Moore and Judi Love, Linda was discussing whether to have your phone on during Christmas Day, when she let slip her plans. She 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. “She added: “So we take the phones off them until later that day and we have a nice peaceful family time.” She continued: “But 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. And honestly it just sort of takes over your life because I was addicted to the phone myself.”

Linda Robson reveals change to her Christmas plans following split
Back in September this year, the star confirmed her separation from husband Mark Dunford in a candid chat with a magazine. She said that she’s “feeling fine” and is attempting to “keep busy.” Linda and Mark first met when they were teenagers but didn’t start dating until many years later. The couple tied the knot in 1990 and share two children together, Roberta, 27, and Louis, 31. But Linda has a daughter from a previous relationship, named Lauren.

In 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 comes after she dismissed rumours of a split at the time as “rubbish.” She said on the ITV show: “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.”

In August this year, she made a cryptic comment about the state of her marriage when discussing how she spent her weekend. Linda revealed on Loose Women that she took herself out for dinner as all the kids had flown the nest and the only people she was at home with was her dog and her husband, before she highlighted the order in which she told her story. She added: “Notice the order!” Linda had mentioned her dog before her husband, making the other Loose Women stars break out in hysterics.

The Duchess Of Sussex Meghan Markle has reportedly attempted to have a meeting scheduled with King Charles III so she can challenge him on the rules she has to follow as a former Royal

Meghan Markle reportedly “wants answers” from King Charles about use of her royal title an expert has claimed.

Royal commentator Neil Sean has made claims that both Meghan and Prince Harry “don’t understand why” they have been subjected to different rules to other members of the Royal Family despite stepping away from their official duties nearly four years ago. The couple’s bid to also become financially independent from the Royals saw them sign multimillion-dollar contracts with Netflix and Spotify.

But now according to Neil, Meghan has questions she wants the King to answer and has allegedly even tried to arrange a meeting with him to discuss key issues she has found prominent since she joined the family. Speaking on his YouTube channel he said: ” Meghan Markle wants some answers from His Majesty the King. She tried to set up a meeting with him, she sent him a letter and wanted a one to one to explain exactly the problems she’s encountered ever since becoming a member of the British monarchy.”

He continued: “The thing that really riles Meghan is that Fergie pops up on things like the ITV daytime show This Morning, Loose Women and billing herself as the Duchess of York, selling books and possibly doing adverts all under the Royal Family. Meghan and Harry seemingly don’t understand why it’s a different rule for her.”

Neil’s dialogue comes after reports Meghan allegedly has plans to write a book about her life much the same as her mother-in-law Princess Diana did when she released Diana: Her True Story in Her Own Words. The novel would be expected to not only cover her glamorous life in Hollywood but also her time spent in the Royal Family and details of all of the arguments and drama.

A Hollywood agent told The Mail on Sunday: “I would find it surprising if Meghan didn’t publish her own story, to be honest. Spare is clearly Prince Harry’s chance to tell his, but hers is equally compelling. I mean, how many actresses end up marrying a Prince? If she’s harbouring political ambitions it would make even more sense.”

Sue Cleaver – best known for her role as Eileen Grimshaw – appeared as a panelist on Loose Women twice this week, with her opening up about weight loss on one occasion

Loose Women viewers said that they didn’t recognise a guest panellist who frequently appears on Coronation Street.

Sue Cleaver, 60 – best known for playing Eileen Grimshaw on Coronation Street – appeared on the ITV panel show twice this week. She featured as a guest on Thursday’s episode, before returning to the panel the following afternoon.

During her first appearance this week, Sue spoke about her experience with weight loss, after having reportedly lost three stone in recent years. She also urged viewers to consider how they talk about weight loss moving forward.

Sue was seen alongside panellist Denise Welch and co-star Simon Gregson backstage in a photo that was shared by the show’s account on Instagram on Thursday. It prompted some reaction from fans, with many complimenting Sue.

One person wrote in response to the photo: “You look amazing.” Another said in the comments section on the platform earlier this week: “Sue looks radiant.” Sharing their thoughts, a third person reacted: “Sue looks fabulous.” There were also compliments over her outfit choice for her appearance, with some fans interested in the blouse that she wore for the episode. Similarly, some people took the opportunity to ask where Sue had got her glasses from.

Whilst others shared that they hadn’t recognised her initially, with one person writing: “Blimey, I didn’t know that was Sue Cleaver.” Another said: “Gosh didn’t recognise [her] at all.” Someone else responded to the comment: “Neither did I.” “Same here. Took a few seconds,” another person wrote in the comments section. Someone reacted to the photo: “[She’s] unrecognisable! She is pretty with her shortcut.” Another person said: “Didn’t realise it was Sue at first.”

There was a similar reaction to her appearance on Friday’s episode. One person tweeted: “Is that Sue Cleaver at the end? She’s looking amazing. That green really suits her too.” Another person tweeted: “Sue is looking so good.” Sue spoke about experiencing weight loss on Thursday’s episode, sharing: “My weight has been up, down, all over the place … a lot of it was helped by red wine! At the minute, I am a lot thinner but I’ve been ill this year.”

She commented: “What I hate is the shame that is attached to being a bigger person. The judgements that are made about another person […] often from other women.” Sue added on the show: “I always find it really hard to take.”

The actor urged: “We know we have a problem. We know we have an addiction. Don’t treat us like we are idiots!” She went on to share her thoughts about apparent “innocent” commentary, including people complimenting her.

She said: “When I’ve lost weight, I can go into a room and someone goes ‘Oh my God, you look amazing! You’ve lost so much weight!’ and all I will hear is that: ‘You looked like an absolute dog when you were big!’ It’s how we talk about it and how we talk around it, that makes a big difference!”

Coleen Nolan responded: “We are our own worst enemy [though] because if I’ve worked hard to lose weight and I walk in a room and someone doesn’t go ‘oh my god you look amazing’ I think ‘well I may as well have carried on eating doughnuts’.” Sue replied to the panellist: “Doesn’t that just tell you how obsessed we are about our outward shape.”

Stacey Solomon has revealed how her festive break to the Caribbean ended badly after she was rushed to hospital on the last day of her family holiday

Stacey Solomon has told how she was rushed to hospital on the last day of her festive holiday to Jamaica.

The Loose Women star took to Instagram to give fans an update and apologised for not coming back on to social media straight away, like she said she would, to give them organisational tips for January.

Revealing she had actually been really ill and was still not feeling 100 per cent, the 34-year-old said: “I know it feels like I’ve just fallen off the face of the earth the last few days and I promised I’d come home and get straight into our January sort out together and I’ve been promising it for months. I’m so sorry.

“We had the worst exit to Jamaica of all time. I can’t even get over what’s happened. It doesn’t feel real. Today’s the first day I’ve felt like I can walk around the house and feel like normal.” Explaining what happened during their Christmas and New Year getaway, which saw Stacey surprise her family with tickets to the Caribbean, the mum-of-five continued: “The day before we were travelling home I started to feel like a bit flu-y, so I was like, ‘Oh, I’m getting that flu that everyone’s got. That’s alright. We’re going home tomorrow so I’ll just get through it and get over it and carry on. So I carried on and then as the day went on, I just felt worse and worse.”

After telling husband Joe Swash to take the kids to dinner while she slept it off, Stacey said Joe came back took one look at her and rang her sister, who is a nurse, because she “looked a mess”. Stacey went on: “My sister comes in the room and I know it’s something serious when my sister comes in the room. She’s a nurse but she’s very much like, she wouldn’t bother. She’s like ‘you’re fine’, unless you’re not fine.

“She came in and was like, ‘We need to sit you up, cool you down, get you some paracetamol.’ Every time she checked my temperature all I remember was her not saying anything. She said to me afterwards my temperature was going up and not coming down.” In the end, the family called for medical help in their hotel and the nurse took one look at Stacey, put her on an oxygen mask, covered her in wet towels and told her she needed to get to hospital immediately.

Once there, Stacey was given an IV drip and fluids and said she instantly began feeling better, even though she was “still rough as hell”. After begging doctors to let her fly home with her family and not remain in Jamaica on her own, they agreed after monitoring her overnight.

Though she managed the flight home, Stacey said that poor husband Joe “had all the kids for 10 hours”. Vowing she would now listen to her body in the future instead of pretending she is OK, she said she was going to “let myself get well” and joked she would be that “weirdo” who was keeping her Christmas decorations up until February while she recovers. She added: “I’m just gonna rest up and hopefully in a couple of days I’ll feel back to normal. But even that, I think I’m gonna take it slow because I don’t ever wanna be in that situation again. It actually scared me a little bit.”In a later post, Stacey took to Instagram again to tell fans what was wrong with her. Sharing a snap of cuddling her two pet dogs, she wrote: “Teddy and Peanut are the best nurses in the world. Thank you for all of your kind messages. I’ll be back to life soon. Loads of you asking what it actually was. I rambled for 5 minutes and still didn’t say. It was an infection in the end that was causing my fever. But antibiotics are working well so fingers crossed they’ll get rid of it completely.”

Loose Women presenter Ruth Langsford has told her fans to ‘remember’ as she ditched her make-up and apologised for her appearance as she showed what she ‘really looks like’

Ruth Langsford has showed her fans what she “really looks like” in her latest social media post.

The Loose Women star took to her Instagram where she gave her followers an update after her Christmas break. She is set to make a return to work and admitted she is “trying to get back to where she was before Christmas”. Ruth posted her update as she made her dinner and prepared her lunch for work.

The 63-year-old appeared make-up free and kept her hair back in a loose bun. She wished her fans a happy new year and revealed she had been busy in the kitchen all day. Ruth said: “Hello all. Back in the kitchen, Sunday, a bit of a cook up today. No make-up, hair scraped up.

“I’m using up lots of leftovers. I had lots of peppers, I had a bit of chicken. So, I’ve made a chicken tray bake thing.” She added: “I’ve been prepping all of my food because I’m back to Loose Women tomorrow. Done my breakfast, done my green juice, done my lunch. So, I’m not doing any kind of ‘new year, new me’ thing. I’m just trying to get back to where I was before Christmas, which is not living on Quality Street and gin!”

Ruth then captioned her post: “Next time you see me on the front cover of a glossy magazine remember what I REALLY look like!! #happynewyear.” The TV presenter was flooded with comments as one said: “It’s fantastic that you come on here just as you are, this is the real world and we like you cos of your personality not looking glamorous.”

Another added: “Actually hilarious!! You’ve just made me burst out laughing. Living off quality street and gin! Hahaha! You look fab Ruth! X” Someone else commented: “Love it Ruth… down to earth. Happy new year to you Eamonn & family.” This Morning’s Vanessa Feltz wrote: “You look bloody lovely and guess what? You ARE bloody lovely.” TOWIE’s Suzie Wells added: “We all look like this most of the time which is our beautiful natural selves.”

Ruth has recently addressed the possibility of her making a return to This Morning. She briefly returned to the show for a week last year to present alongside Rylan Clark. However, she said she doubted she would be heading back to the famous sofa. The star still works on ITV’s Loose Women while her husband started working on GB News in January 2022.

Speaking about returning to This Morning, she told Hello!: “I think that ship has sailed. Listen, never say never. I adore that show and it was a dream to work on it. I worked on it before Eamonn, actually people forget that. I say to him: ‘I took you to work, don’t forget!’” While in a chat with Woman&Home, Ruth explained: “I love This Morning but reports that ITV have recently asked me back aren’t true. I laughed when I saw that report. I have no idea where these things come from.”

Loose Women stars Coleen Nolan, Janet Street-Porter and Linda Robson couldn’t hold it in as Ruth Langsford introduced a rather smutty segment to the ITV show

There was anarchy in the Loose Women studio when Ruth Langsford suddenly lost control of the suggestive vibrating gadget she was waving around.

The panel were left screaming when suddenly the mystery appliance spun off and crashed against the desk, leaving co stars Coleen Nolan, Janet Street-Porter and Linda Robson in stitches. Ruth was teasing them demanding they guess what the item was for before flicking the on switch.Typically, there were a number of racy hints dropped by the trio as they stopped short of saying exactly what was on their minds. Twirling it in the air, the former This Morning host introduced the Guess Ruth’s Gadget segment and there were plenty of smutty suggestions put forward before all was revealed.

Ruth said: “This gadget and I have become inseparable over Christmas. I have found it very satisfying.” Linda cheekily chimed it: “Would you say it’s a lady’s friend?” before Janet said: “It looks a little gynaecological to me.” Ruth then confirmed the contraption goes at different speeds as it started to move faster and faster.

She was asked what her favourite speed was by Coleen before test driving it – and that’s when things got chaotic as the host lost control of the gadget. The women screamed and later returned to guessing exactly what it was as they read out some social media guesses. Ruth did a demo and this time it was problem free, whipping out a bowl of sauce and revealing the item is in fact a liquid stirrer. But there were some complaints from Coleen, who said there was splats all over the desk.

On Sunday, Ruth took to her Instagram to give her followers an update after her Christmas break. Gearing up for her return to work, Ruth admitted she’d been “trying to get back to where she was before Christmas”. Ruth posted her update as she made her dinner and prepared her lunch for Loose Women the next day.

The 63-year-old appeared without makeup and kept her hair back in a loose bun. She wished her fans a happy new year and revealed she had been busy in the kitchen all day. Ruth said: “Hello all. Back in the kitchen, Sunday, a bit of a cook up today. No makeup, hair scraped up.

“I’m using up lots of leftovers. I had lots of peppers, I had a bit of chicken.

During December, she recommended festive fits that would be perfect for the big day finishing one look with a pair of gorgeous round earrings from – you guessed it – Mango. She also recently styled a cosy cream back vent sweater from the high street favourite which has since hit the sales at £34.99 down from £49.99, saving £15.

Other Frankie’s Faves you can snap up in the sales include the White Stripe Stand Neck Longline Jumper, from New Look, which was originally £29.99, but has been reduced to £20, saving almost £10 on the wardrobe must-have. Meanwhile her Red Faux Leather Wide Leg Trousers from River Island are now down to £17 from £40.

What’s great about the Intertwined Design Earrings from Mango are that you’ll absolutely get your wear out of them, as you’ll be able to pair them with pretty much any outfit. If you fancy getting your hands on Frankie’s must-have accessories, the cheapest place to buy them is directly from Mango for £15.99 here.

Lisa Riley has lost an incredible 12 stone after overhauling her diet and exercise regime, and the Emmerdale star has shared the secrets behind her weight loss transformation

Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley has wowed fans with her incredible weight loss journey, shedding a whopping 12 stone.

The actress, best known for playing Mandy Dingle in the ITV soap, shared the diet and exercise plan that helped her lose the weight with her fans last year.

Lisa kick-started her weight loss journey during her time on Strictly Come Dancing in 2012, which boosted her metabolism. Speaking on Loose Women in 2016, she revealed: “I saw a difference dancing seven hours a day and then I just ate soup as I didn’t want all that food jiggling around while I danced,”

The star admitted it’s hard to recognise herself now, saying: “It’s hard for me to see my reflection now. I used to have a shelf from here to here and where’s that gone? It is insane. I looked so different before. I was happy before but now I am happy and proud. I needed to do it though. Who knows though. People can yo-yo diet.”

The dedicated vegetarian also revealed she eats smaller portions and avoids eating after 6.30pm. She said: “I don’t believe in fad diets, even though I have tried them before. I have no food after 6.30pm. I only eat a carb if I need one and absolutely no bread or booze. The star has cut out bread and alcohol, and opts for a ‘fun’ Zumba class over the gym, as she finds the popular workout area rather “

Lisa has also swapped bread and booze for Zumba and healthy choices. Lisa, who cut out alcohol back in 2015 as a show of solidarity to her expecting friends, understood the caloric impact of drinking.

Chatting with The Mirror at that time, Lisa mentioned: “I realised there were lots of empty calories in booze so that is why I gave it up. If you add up through the week what I’d consume in alcohol calories it was mad.” Lisa joked about giving up alcohol for nine months along with her pregnant pals, but laughs that she hasn’t had a drink in nearly a year now.

Having shed an impressive 11 stone, Lisa opted for excess skin removal surgery in 2017, chatting to Mirror.co.uk three years on, stating: “People forget how gigantic I was. With the skin removal I lost twelve stone, one pound. The surgeon chopped off one stone, four pounds. Since then my weight has more or less stayed the same.”

In Lisa Riley’s Baggy Body Club, her 2017 TV documentary, Lisa shared her worries regarding her appearance after the major weight loss. She confessed: “When I made the decision to lose weight, I never for one second imagined that I would end up looking like that.”

The celebrity shared: “It never occurred to me that the loose skin would be so bad. I thought why on earth have I lost all this weight? I looked worse than I did when I was obese. And it was the pain as well. The skin was flapping about and dragging.”

After overcoming her initial fears, the 47 year old decided to undergo four surgeries to fix her loose skin. She had a fleur de lis tummy tuck, got rid of ‘bingo wings’, had a boob lift, and removed excess skin from her thighs.Now fully recovered, Lisa is thrilled with her new look and told the Mirror she’s not shy about wearing “sexy little sets” of underwear anymore. She also said: “I had never been able to wear sexy underwear, before it was all just functional, mumsy bras and big knickers. Now I can wear little sexy sets. On the train from Manchester to London, the old me would have had a coffee, baguette, red wine, crisps, and a cake. Now I plan my meals and order a sparkling water, people can’t believe it.”

A full line-up of this year’s Celebrity Big Brother has been leaked on social media and lists controversial actor Matthew Wolfenden among those set to ITV join show

A full list of celebrity names has been leaked on social media by someone who claims to have worked at the production company Banijay – who produce the ITV show.

Ahead of its launch in March this year, the rumour mill has been kicked into overdrive as fans have been discussing who they think will be in this year’s line-up.

Taking to Twitter a disgruntled former employee posted a full list of names, claiming that he gained the information by being part of an email thread before being axed from the production company.

Above the list, the mystery person wrote: “Very recently got laid of by Banijay, so here’s the Celebrity Big Brother line-up for you all…got to love the anonymity of reddit:).”

They then added: “Posted form an email chain I was looped into a month or so ago.” The first name on the list is former Dancing On Ice judge John Barrowman, followed by Baga Chipz from Drag Race UK, Linda Robson from Loose Women, Gary Lucy, who recently became a dad again with former flame Laura Anderson, and former TOWIE star Joey Essex.

Other names on the list include Gogglebox’s Scarlett Moffatt, Curtis Pritchard, boxing champion Nicola Adams, actor Richard Blackwood, Louis Walsh and opinionated actress Miriam Margolyes. Matthew Wolfenden was also on the list. The former Emmerdale actor caused controversy after he was seen kissing another woman following his shock split with wife and mother of his three kids, Charly Webb. Music artist Tinchy Stryder, actress Lorraine Stanley and presenter Ade Adepitan were also on the list of this year’s line-up.

But former TOWIE star Chloe Brockett has also been rumoured to join the show after being suspended from the ITVBe reality TV show. A source told The Sun: “Chloe Brockett is in talks to appear on the show – nothing is signed yet but she’s really excited and can’t stop telling people.She grew up watching the show and her return to TOWIE is still uncertain so it would be a good show to do while she’s waiting to see if she’ll go back to it. ITV already know Chloe is great TV.”

But a Big Brother spokesperson squashed the rumour mill and claimed all names that have been put forward were pure speculation. Chloe was suspended from TOWIE last year after she allegedly threw three tumbler glasses at her co-star Roman Hackett, following a heated exchange during filming.

It remains unknown if Chloe will return to the show as the current cast have not been told who will be heading to Bali to film another series. A source told The Sun: “Chloe Brockett still doesn’t know if she’s returning to the show after her suspension.”

The source added: “The cast haven’t even been told who is going to Bali and who isn’t. It’s all hanging in the balance – Chloe makes great TV though so behind the scenes, everyone thinks she’ll go back.” At the time, the cast of the ITV reality show were said to be horrified at Chloe’s actions and called for her to be axed permanently.

Olivia Attwood’s unrecognisable transformation from Love Island to Loose Women

Olivia Attwood looks completely different in a series of throwback snaps she previously shared to her Instagram story.

The former Love Island star has come along way since she first arrived on TV screens to find love. Olivia has gone on to become a presenter, a Loose Women panellist and a documentary maker for ITV.

Olivia has spoken previously about feeling uncomfortable in her skin and her desire to go under the knife at a young age, but is now at a place in her life where she’s happy despite regretting some cosmetic procedures. The Loose Women star looks remarkably different in a series of unearthed throwback snaps previously shared by the reality star.

In 2022, Olivia took to her social media page to wish one of her friends of 20 years a happy birthday alongside multiple funny photos and videos. The majority of the posts show Olivia before she found fame on Love Island, with one photo showing the best friends side by side in matching black bodycon dresses and bleach blonde hair.

Another one shows the pair with their arms round a statue and Olivia sticking her tongue out for the camera. Meanwhile, Olivia was one of viewers’ favourite Islanders when she joined the villa in 2017.

The 32-year-old has spoken openly about her own surgery experience in a new documentary on ITVX, The Price of Perfection, as she examines the impact our need for tweakments is having on our bodies – and our minds.

Speaking about her decision to get her breasts enlarged aged just 20, Olivia told The Times : “I was fixated and it was cheap and quick. These b****y boobs were so heavy. I was happy for a year, then I realised they didn’t look right for my frame.”

“The weight of the implants started to stretch my skin and they got lower and lower. I started to think, ‘This isn’t what I signed up for at all.’” Olivia explained that her regret over surgery has led her to try a range of non-surgical treatments.

“I do the non-surgical stuff to my face ― Botox, all the jazzy skincare, the Morpheus8, the lasers. I’ll try everything that’s new. I’ll do dots of filler here and there. Fillers are a journey I’ve been on,” Olivia added. “The ‘natural’ that women are buying isn’t natural at all.”
