Earlier this month, Linda made headlines after she revealed she has been celibate for two years. During an appearance on Loose Women, the panel – also including Charlene White, Kelle Bryan and Denise Welch - were discussing whether a sex break can help marriages and relationships. 

"Can I just say I've been celibate for two years?" said Linda, while co-host Denise quipped: "I know, but you've got to get with it." In response, Linda then said: "I know, you got me a lady friend… I've had no choice because I haven't had it for two years."

Meanwhile, Linda previously admitted on the ITV daytime show that her social media addiction almost ended her marriage.

"It is really addictive. I was addicted to social media, do you remember?" she asked her co-stars, adding: "I wouldn't go anywhere without my phone. I'd wake up in the middle of the night and be looking at social media. 

"I mean, it nearly ended my marriage because we'd be sitting watching a film and I'd be on my phone. He would be like, 'Are you going to watch with me or not?' and then he'd go out."
