Loose Women's Linda Robson confirms split with husband Mark Dunford after 33 years

Linda Robson has confirmed that she and husband Mark Dunford have split after 33 years together.

The Loose Women panelist, 65, has been denying reports of marriage troubles for months, but has finally confirmed in a new interview that she is single having decided that "enough is enough"."He’s a really good dad and we had some good years, but enough is enough," she told Woman magazine.

"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.

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

The Birds of a Feather star hinted over the summer that all was not well between her and Dunford, 62, when speaking to The Sun.

"Every relationship goes through its ups and downs. It's not bad, we're doing alright," she told the publication.

She also stunned Loose Women viewers recently when she admitted that she had been celibate for the past two years.

Robson made her bedroom confession while discussing the pros and cons of having a sex break from a partner with fellow panelists Denise Welch, 65, Charlene White, 42, and Kéllé Bryan, 48.

She even revealed that Welch had bought her a sex toy, explaining: "I've had no choice because I haven't had it for two years."

This was in staunch contrast to her bragging seven years earlier that she and Dunford had been busy making their way through the Kama Sutra.Robson was in a relationship with Tony Tyler for 11 years prior to Dunford and they had a daughter together called Lauren in 1983.

The TV star has two children with Dunford, singer-songwriter Louis, 31, and Roberta, 27.
