ITV Loose Women Linda Robson ‘ready to find love again’ weeks after marriage split

Newly-single Linda Robson joined her Loose Women panellists on Wednesday’s show after the end of her marriage following 33 years, where the panellists spoke about “husband hunting”

Linda Robson has discussed potentially finding love again just weeks after announcing her split from husband of 33 years.

The presenter joined her panellists in the ITV studio, where they discussed “husband hunting” to which host Charlene White spoke about going out with her mates in her 20s, where you would look for a type of guy. She joked for a “suited and booted guy”, you would head to the city but if you wanted a “red trouser” man, you’d head to West London.

Linda was left confused over a “red trouser man”, asking what it meant, to which Charlene explained: “Like a really, really posh dude. Red trousers, boat shoes, always goes out in a shirt even when there’s no need to!” A baffled Linda then quipped: “I’ve never met anyone like that!” The presenter later declared on the show: “I’m going to look for someone with red trousers!”

She added: “My mission now in life is to find someone with red trousers, it doesn’t matter what he looks like, as long as he’s got red trousers on!” Co-star Jane Moore then suggested Linda join a cycling club to which the star exclaimed: “I’ve got a knee replacement coming up, I can’t get on a bike! I fell off an electric scooter, didn’t I, shouldn’t have been on one in the first place!”

Charlene then quipped: “I tell you what, once you’ve had your knee replacement, Jane will take you to a cycling club and then you can find your man from the red trousers brigade!” Elsewhere on the show, the panellists discussed: “Should you buy your partner a Christmas present?” when Linda was asked about her festive plans.

Linda remained shtum on any mention of Mark but did reveal of her family plans: “I like buying presents but I prefer making memories. So this year we’re all going away between Christmas and New Year, I’m paying for us all to go away for a couple of days. Then we’re going to go see [Christopher] Biggins in panto in Southampton.

“As you get older, you don’t know how long you’ve got left, do you, so you might as well make the most of it. But it’s true, you don’t know!” Linda didn’t specify if Mark was joining the family on the trip but she did say she would be taking her children to the panto.

It comes as Linda said last month that she’s surrounded by family and is taking regular trips away in a bid to take her mind off the split. Linda and Mark first met when they were teens but didn’t begin dating until years later. They tied the knot in 1990 and the former couple went on to welcome two children together; Roberta, 27, and Louis, 31.

Giving an update on her current situation, Linda admitted: “I’ve got my family and my kids around me. And I’m going on a cruise with Lesley Joseph in November. I’m keeping busy. I feel fine. I’m just going away on trips all the time.”

Linda had sparked speculation of marriage woes for months as she spoke about her and Mark’s relationship on Loose Women earlier this year. Speaking in September, Linda said she was “not looking for anyone”, before swearing and saying she “can’t be f***ked”.

The star confirmed to Woman magazine she is single last month. She said of her ex-husband Mark: “He’s a really good dad and we had some good years, but enough is enough. I’m not interested [in dating] honestly. I can’t be a***d with all that.”
