Linda Robson Makes Honest Post-Split Confession on Loose Women — And What She Said Left the Panel in Silence 
After 36 years of marriage, the Loose Women star finally opened up — and fans are calling her words ‘heartbreaking but brave’
During Thursday’s emotional episode of Loose Women, Linda Robson offered a rare and brutally honest reflection on her decades-long marriage — months after confirming her split from husband Mark Dunford.
The ITV panel was discussing long-term relationships and the difficult topic of knowing when — or if — it’s time to walk away. The conversation followed Michelle Obama’s recent remarks about never considering leaving Barack during their 30-year marriage.
That’s when anchor Charlene White turned to Linda and gently asked if she’d ever felt the same. Linda didn’t hold back.
“Yeah, in marriage… we were together 36 years. There were good times, and there were bad times,” Linda admitted.
“But as long as the good outweighed the bad, we kept going — for the kids, for the family. We’ve always loved our children more than anything else in the world… and our grandchildren.”
Then came a line that struck a chord with many viewers:
“Sometimes you just know when it’s time to get out. Maybe you should’ve done it sooner… but you keep going anyway.”
In 2023, Linda publicly confirmed she and Mark had ended their marriage after more than three decades together. The couple share two grown children, Louis and Bobbie, while Linda also has a daughter, Lauren, from a previous relationship.
Reflecting on the breakup in a past interview with OK! Magazine, Linda acknowledged that their differences had grown over time:
“We never had that much in common, really. I’m very sociable — Mark never enjoyed that side of things.”
“Of course I’ve been sad about it. But we had two lovely kids together. They’re grown now, living their lives.”
Today, the beloved Loose Women star says she’s found peace — and unexpected comfort in her new chapter.
“Now it’s just me and Dolly the dog. And I’m in a good place,” she smiled.
“Work’s going well, and I feel like I have so much to talk about. Writing my memoir was therapeutic — especially opening up about my mental health battles.”
Her candidness struck a powerful note with viewers, many of whom praised her vulnerability and strength for speaking openly about letting go — and starting over later in life.
“Her story is one so many women live, but few speak about,” one fan wrote on social media.
