ITV Loose Women star Linda Robson is moving on after splitting from husband of 33 years Mark Dunford – but insists she has no plans to date in her 60s following her divorce
Loose Women star Linda Robson has revealed she is selling her London home after splitting from her husband of 33 years.
The 65-year-old actress, who is most famous for starring in sitcom Birds of a Feather, lived in the property with ex Mark Dunford, who she married in 1990. It’s also been the place for family gatherings as Linda and Mark share two children, son Louis, 31, and 27-year-old daughter Roberta. While Linda has an older daughter Lauren, 40, from a previous relationship.
But now she is single again, Linda has announced she plans to downsize after admitting being “unhappy” in her home with Mark for years and is now making plans to move into a two-bedroom house where there is enough room for her, the dog and her grandkids.
She said: “I’m going to live in a two-bedroom house for my grandchildren. Me and the dog and the two grandkids. I want to be right near Lauren [her eldest daughter] and between me and my sister.”

In an interview with Woman magazine, Linda was asked if she would be sad to wave goodbye to a house full of memories, but in what could be a hint at her marriage problems, she shared: “Yes I’ll miss it. But the last few years I haven’t that happy.”
Linda confirmed her and Mark’s marriage was over in September last year following months of speculation the pair were on the rocks. It came two months after her bombshell admission on a live Loose Women show that the pair hadn’t had sex in two years. Linda also said she was the sociable one in the relationship, while Mark “never enjoyed that side of things”.

And things haven’t been right in my relationship for quite a long time so erm, I’ve been very honest about it.” But she insisted she is “not looking for anyone” and “can’t be f*****” with dating in her 60s. Before marrying Mark Linda was in an 11-year relationship with ex Tony Tyler, the father of her eldest daughter Lauren.
She shared: “I’ve had two loves of my life and now my grandchildren are the love of my life and my children. So no I’m not looking for anyone.” Of Mark, she said: “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.” Talking about her plans for the future, she said: “I’m going on a cruise with [Birds of a Feather co star] Lesley Joseph in November. I’m keeping busy. I feel fine. I’m just going away on trips all the time.”
