After fellow panellist Janet Street-Porter read out excerpts from her detailed diaries she kept as a girl, former Birds of a Feather actress Linda admitted she keeps hers in a drawer with her undies, along with her dead loved ones ashes

Linda Robson got candid about where she keeps her most sacred possessions on today’s instalment of Loose Women.

The panellist, 64, shared where she keeps her dead loved ones’ ashes as the loose ladies got candid about keeping diaries.

Discussing Matt Hancock ’s bizarre career move to release his Covid-19 diaries as a book, the conversation turned to the panel’s childhood diaries.

After fellow panellist Janet Street-Porter read out excerpts from her detailed diaries she kept as a girl, former Birds of a Feather actress Linda admitted she keeps hers in a drawer with her undies.

Linda told how she’s always kept Filofaxes as her diaries and wrote down “everything” in them.

But she then made a curious admission as to where she now keeps the old journals.

Linda said: “I have a drawer full of Filofaxes. When I was quite young I started using a Filofax and writing everything down and I keep them in my knicker drawer along with the ashes.”

Coleen Nolan looked at her co-star with a puzzled face, before hesitantly asking: “The ashes?”

Linda replied: “Yeah, of everyone that’s died.

“I put their ashes in my knicker drawer. I know they’re safe in there.”

Her admission made the audience burst into laughter as Brenda Edwards struggled to contain herself and looked away from her co-star.

Further bewildered, Coleen asked: “They’re safe in your knicker drawer?”

Linda explained her logic: “Yeah, no one goes in my knicker drawer, only me.”

Elsewhere on today’s show, things got “awkward” when Coleen admitted her guilt for not supporting her “best friend” Brenda.

She confessed that she’s not going to watch Brenda perform in her pantomime, Snow White, tomorrow evening – despite a host of Loose panellists turning out to support the star.

Coleen told how she had opted to go home to Cheshire while the other women on the panel were set to attend to support their friend and colleague.
