Loose Women viewers were left confused on Monday as Linda Robson spoke about her ‘husband’ and being married for 33 years despite announcing her split last year

Loose Women’s Linda Robson left viewers confused on Monday after a cryptic marriage comment.

The TV star, 66, confirmed her separation from Mark Dunford last year and earlier this year ruled out finding love again as she planned to move out of her long-term home into a two-bed house near her children. However, on Monday’s episode of Loose Women, Linda spoke about about her ‘husband’ and being married for 33 years, leaving viewers confused.

During the latest episode, the panellists aired a debate titled: “Does marriage work better for men than women?” to which Linda said: “I think once the kids leave home it’s all different then, because that’s the glue that keeps you all together. I think once the kids are gone and they’ve got their own lives and they don’t need you anymore – I think then it all changes.

“So yeah, I’ve been married 33 years and I’m getting old now. I just want to enjoy the last few years that I’ve got left, so I went on holiday on my own but my son and his partner were out there as well. So it was just really nice, but I’ll go away on my own anyway and I’m very sociable but my husband’s not that sociable, so I’ve always done things on my own anyway.”

Taking to Twitter, now X, viewers were left confused over Linda talking about being married for 33 years and calling Mark her husband following their split. One person said: “I thought Linda’s marriage was over? #LooseWomen” to which others interacted with the tweet. The Mirror has contacted Linda’s representative for comment.

It comes as Linda opened up about her split earlier this year from Mark, the father of her children Louis, 32, and Bobbie, 28. The TV star said at the time that there was nothing dramatic about the split and they simply grew apart, telling OK! magazine: “People do, sometimes, don’t they? We never had that much in common. I’m very sociable. Mark never enjoyed that side of things.”

“I’ve been sad about it, of course I have,” she added. “But we had two lovely children together. But they’re all grown up, living their own lives now. Now, it’s me and Dolly the dog. [But] I’m in a really good place. Work’s good.”
