Loose Women panellist Linda Robson has candidly shared her struggles as she navigates life after her heart-breaking divorce from husband Mark Dunford. The 66-year-old TV star, who split from Mark last year after 33 years of marriage, admits the transition has been far from easy.
A Difficult Transition
After announcing their separation, Linda revealed the couple had simply grown apart over the years. The decision to part ways came after decades of trying to make their relationship work, primarily for the sake of their children, Louis, 32, and Bobbie, 28.
Linda’s journey to find a new home has been particularly challenging. She hopes to move out of their family home in Islington and find a place closer to her children. “No, I’m still looking. Hopefully, I will find somewhere,” she told Woman magazine, adding that the process has been stressful. “It certainly will be a new chapter when I do move,” she said.
Overcoming Personal Struggles
Linda’s divorce follows a tough few years marked by a breakdown and struggles with drinking and OCD, which at one point left her on suicide watch. Reflecting on that period, she told OK! magazine, “I gave my family the worst time. I still find it hard to forgive myself for that. I’d always been the strong one. Suddenly, they all had to look after me. It was the worst time of my life, ever.”
Despite these hardships, Linda has made a remarkable recovery. Now, she finds joy and fulfillment in her role as a panellist on ITV’s popular daytime show, Loose Women. “I love being on the panel, it’s like working with your mates every day,” she shared.
Looking Ahead
Linda’s career is thriving, and she has even caught the attention of producers from Celebs Go Dating. However, she disclosed that her children have advised her against participating in the show. While she isn’t looking for a romantic relationship at the moment, she is open to meeting new people.
Linda Robson’s journey post-divorce is a testament to her resilience and strength. As she continues to search for a new home and settle into her new life, her story inspires many facing similar challenges.
