Linda Robson all smiles in first appearance since split from husband | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV

Linda Robson has made her first public appearance since announcing her split from husband Mark Dunford.

The 65-year-old was pictured on Sunday (November 19) attending a screening of new Disney film Wish with her six-year-old granddaughter Betsy.

The Loose Women panelist looked in good spirits as she wore a dazzling pink leopard print dress teamed with a black leather jacket and matching sandals.

Together, former Birds of a Feather star Linda looked proud as she posed with one arm around her young granddaughter and smiled for the camera.

In a recent interview, Linda revealed that she and husband Mark, 62, were going their separate ways after 33 years of marriage.

She said: “He’s a very good dad and we’ve had some good years, but enough is enough.

“I’m surrounded by my family and my children. And I’m going on a cruise with Lesley Joseph in November.”

She added Women’s Magazine that she was “fine” about the break and that she was “keeping busy” by going on trips abroad.

“I’m keeping busy. I feel fine. I’m going straight out on trips all the time,” she said.

“I’m not interested [in dating] honestly. I can’t be a ***d with all that.”

Linda and Mark tied the knot in 1990 and have two children together – singer-songwriter Louis, 31, and Roberta, 27.

The ITV panelist shares a 40-year-old daughter named Lauren with Tony Tyler, who she was in a relationship with for 11 years.

Before Linda and Mark split, a source reportedly told the source Sun: “Linda was quite open behind the scenes about problems in her marriage.

“They hit a rough patch before Christmas but managed to work through it.

“Linda reached out to her family and friends who supported her through everything.”
