Exclusive: Linda Robson says Katie Price is desperate to be allowed back onto ITV’s Loose Women

Writing in her new book Truth Be Told, Loose Women star Linda Robson has claimed that Katie Price is desperate to get back on the panel – but she says the former glamour model ‘can’t behave’

Linda Robson has said pal Katie Price is desperate to be allowed back on Loose Women and while she admitted she worries about the former model, she told her: “Katie, you can’t f***ing behave yourself, can you?”.

She also said that a “couple of people have taken against me for whatever reason” on the show but refused to name her nemesis. Writing in her new book Truth Be Told, Linda said: “I love Katie Price but sometimes I think she deliberately tries to shock. I did an awards show with her once where we were both supposed to be presenting together but no one could find her anywhere.

“She eventually turned up with minutes to spare. When we got out on the stage, she started talking about herself and I had to tell her, ‘Oi! It ain’t about you today.

“Whenever I bump into her now, she tells me how she wants to come back to Loose Women. And I say, ‘But, Katie, you can’t f*** ing behave yourself, can you?’

“I do worry about her. Sometimes I thought she’d been out late the night before a show. She used to sleep in the car on her way in and would arrive in her pyjamas and get dressed when she got there. I used to think that was quite a good idea actually. She always made plenty of headlines whenever she was on, though.”

Linda, 65, is best known for playing Tracey Stubbs in sitcom Birds Of A Feather in two stints on BBC and ITV. But she made her first appearance on panel show Loose Women in 2012 and has been a regular almost ever since.

Turning to talk about possible bust ups on the ITV show, Linda added: “There’s never been anyone I’ve refused to sit on the panel with, although I can’t speak for others on the show in the past. No, I’m not mentioning any names!

“And I think a couple of people have taken against me for whatever reason. I remember going into the canteen once and seeing someone from the panel sitting there with another woman. As I was walking towards her, I could see she was doing this thing of talking behind her hand and looking at me at the same time. Subtle as a brick.

“Lauren[daughter] was with me and she said, ‘She doesn’t like you, does she, Mum?’ ‘I’m not sure, Lauren…’ ‘No, I really don’t think she does.’ As we reached her table, she suddenly broke off from whispering and was all gushy saying, ‘Oh, hiiiii, Linda! How are you?’, which just felt really fake.

“This was when I was starting out as a regular and I don’t know if certain people were feeling insecure because they were bringing new panellists in. Maybe she felt like she was going to be given the boot. And thinking about it, she didn’t last much longer! That had nothing to do with me, though. I don’t think any of us can presume we’re safe forever.”

Despite this issue, Linda has no regrets about signing up for Loose Women. She said: “Signing that permanent contract just over a decade ago was the start of a wonderful new chapter and the team has been right by my side both on and off screen as the most supportive group of friends you could wish for.”
