Linda Robson reveals career shift

Linda Robson prefers acting to being a panelist on Loose Women.

Before she joined the ITV lunchtime talk show as a regular in June 2012, the 67-year-old star played many characters on stage and screen - with her most famous role being Tracey Stubbs in the BBC-then-ITV sitcom, Birds of a Feather.

And since becoming a panelist Loose Women, Linda thinks people now regard her as just a celebrity as opposed to an actress.

In a candid conversation with Bella magazine, when she was asked if she prefers acting or being on Loose Women, Linda told "I prefer acting, really. I think once I started doing Loose Women, you become more like a celebrity than an actor."

Earlier this year, Linda and her Birds of a Feather co-star Lesley Joseph, 80, reunited to film a special episode of Channel 5’s murder mystery series, The Good Ship Murder, which will be released in 2026.

And Linda expressed that she loved working with Lesley again - the first time since ITV axed Birds of a Feather back in December 2020.

Linda said: "I did some acting this year with Lesley, we did The Good Ship Murder, which was filmed in Malta. I had to kill her. I enjoyed that because I said, 'I've waited 30 years to strangle you!'”

"That was good fun,” Linda Robson concluded.
