'Had enough!' Linda Robson breaks silence on Pauline Quirke and Loose Women rift claims
Loose Women is] a women's show people always ask 'Do we get on?'," she exclaimed to The Mirror."They wouldn't ask that of a man about a men's show would they? We all meet up with each other all the time."She also broke silence on claims that she and her Birds Of A Feather co-star Pauline Quirke have grown apart.She explained that they have some differences, purely in terms of TV ambitions, rather than having lost their friendship.Responding to claims that the pair had "fallen out", she replied: "She just doesn't want to act anymore.She's had enough - it's long hours."She's concentrating on her drama academies.She's very hands on, going to classes and all that."She added that the lockdown placed a strain on the pair's ability to see each other, although they have been able to meet up since.After winning Celebrity Coach Trip last year, she and Lesley Joseph have built up a close comradeship.She added jokingly: "During the lockdowns I would leave funny things on her doorstep, like Tena Lady and hair dye!"But when I was ill, both Pauline and Lesley rang me, or a member of my family, every couple of days to see how I was."Meanwhile, Linda claims that Janet Street Porter is a "pussycat" and a "loving, caring woman".Another Loose Women co-star, Brenda Edwards, who struggled emotionally with the sudden death of her musical entrepreneur son Jamal Edwards last month, is also friendly with Linda.In fact, Jamal - who founded the successful YouTube channel SB.TV and was one of those responsible for launching Ed Sheeran's career - also oversaw the rise of Linda's son Louis Dunford."My son wouldn't be in the music industry if it wasn't for Jamal," Linda insisted."He mentored him, took him to The BRITs.
