On Friday’s instalment of Loose Women, ITV viewers saw the panel discuss whether or not children are becoming addicted to their mobile phones.
Loose Women star Linda Robson opened up about her fear for her grandchildren during Friday’s show.
On the ITV programme, the panel was speaking about their concerns with the younger generation becoming addicted to their mobile phones.
She replied: “But, Lauren (their mum), doesn’t let them have it lot, mostly during the week she takes the phone and the laptops off of them.”
However, the ITV star highlighted that now when she looks after them, they instantly want a laptop or phone.
Linda added: “I said, ‘Bets why don’t we play a game? Let’s play cars or something or let’s watch a film together.
“She couldn’t think straight, she wanted the phone or the laptop. In the end, I gave her the laptop.”
Although she confessed her other granddaughter who is 12 and has just started secondary school needs a phone.
Linda added: “I have noticed that their behaviour has changed because of the phones and the laptops.
“Instead of spending time doing things together, the three of us, even if we go to a restaurant they’ll want my phone or they’ll want something.”
Linda replied: “It does worry me, but Lauren is on top of it as well. So she does make sure they don’t have it too much.
“But every now and again, Lila will hide it and then Lauren will hear the beeping going off and take the phone off of her.”
However, sharing their thoughts on the topic, Frankie Bridge admitted her children have told her she was the one who needs to put her phone down.
She said: “If he ever says that I (gagging), it makes me feel sick! He’s nine and he’s telling me off you know.
“I have two very different children. My eldest is, I would say, addicted. He wants to game.”
Although she was thankful that as he enjoys football, her oldest manages to away from the virtual world.
