ITV Loose Women star Linda Robson splits from husband after 33 years of marriage

Loose Women star Linda Robson has said ‘enough is enough’ as she confirmed her marriage to husband Mark Dunford is over – after months of speculation the pair had split

Loose Women star Linda Robson has confirmed she and her husband Mark Dunford are no longer together.

The ITV daytime show’s panelist and Birds of a Feather star, 65, and her husband Mark had been married for 33 years – but now Linda has confirmed they have split as she said “enough is enough”.

Linda had sparked speculation of marriage woes for months as she spoke about her and Mark’s relationship on the show. Speaking in September, Linda said she was “not looking for anyone”, before swearing and saying she “can’t be f***ked”.

Now, the star has confirmed to Woman magazine she is single. She said of her ex-husband Mark: “He’s a really good dad and we had some good years, but enough is enough.

“I’ve got my family and my kids around me. And I’m going on a cruise with Lesley Joseph in November. I’m keeping busy. I feel fine. I’m just going away on trips all the time.

“I’m not interested [in dating] honestly. I can’t be a***d with all that.”

Linda sparked speculation of marriage woes with comments on Loose Women – one of which saw her discuss her sex life, as she revealed she and Mark had not had sex in two years. Linda said on the ITV show in June: “Can I just say I’ve been celibate for two years?”, before Denise Welch chimed in to add: “I know, but you’ve got to get with it.”

Linda then went on to say: “I know, you got me a lady friend,” before Denise confirmed she did make the purchase.

However, Linda had previously dismissed concerns over her marriage – insisting rumours she and Mark were no longer together as “rubbish”.

Discussing the speculation, Linda said: “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.” Then, in August, Linda made a cryptic comment about Mark and her marriage struggles as she made a dig at her husband when she discussed how she spent her weekend.

In a chat about her weekend on the programme, Linda revealed she took herself out for dinner as all the kids had flown the next and the only people she was home with was her dog and her husband, before she added: “Notice the order!” She had mentioned her pet pooch before her husband, making the other Loose Women stars break out in hysterics.

Linda and Mark first met when they were teens but didn’t begin dating until years later. She revealed in 2017: “I used to babysit for Mark – he was a couple of years younger than me… I was 16 and he was 13 and a half, and he was a bit of a pain, to be honest. And we lived in the street next to each other.
