The Loose Women discussed the ‘right time to have children’ during Tuesday’s episode of the ITV daytime show spurring on panellists Linda Robson to bravely open up about her baby loss
Linda Robson has bravely opened up about a devastating miscarriage with her co-stars Charlene White, Coleen Nolan and Ayda Field Williams.
During Tuesday’s episode (October 15) of ITV daytime show, the panel discussed the topic of having children, and when is ‘the right time to have kids’. The conversation spurred Linda on to share her experience with baby loss.
The 66-year-old explained: “Well I had Lauren when I was 25, and then there was an 11 year gap before I had Louis and then I think about a five-year gap between Bobby. So at 25 I was quite a young mum and everything
“I lost one inbetween Louis and Bobby, sorry Louis and Lauren, so I would have had four children but that didn’t happen.”

Confirming the close bond her children now have as adults, the former Birds of a Feather star added: “It was just the age difference, Lauren hated Louis when he was born as she had 11 years on her own sleeping in a bed with me, and it was just me and her.
“Then all of a sudden this brother turns up who has got eczema and asthma so he needed a bit more care than the other kids.
“It was only when we went to Australia, I was working out in Australia and I took the three kids out there, that Louis and Lauren bonded because she was looking after him while I was working. Now the three are close as anything, they really are.”

Linda has previously spoken about her grief of losing a baby during a Loose Women show in 2021.
Linda told her co-stars: “You know, when you just know that it’s not the same as the other pregnancies and something’s not quite right there. So I rang the hospital and asked if I could come in and have another scan.”
She added: “That was a really hard day, like going home that night knowing that I’d have to go in and have suction the next day.”
