Loose Women's Linda Robson swears live on TV and forces apology as show descends into chaos

Linda Robson forced her Loose Women colleague into an on-air apology after she swore in the closing minutes of the show, within moments of joining the panel.

Birds of a Feather star Linda didn't join host Kaye and co-stars Frankie Bridge, Judi Love and Nadia Sawalha at the start of Friday's episode, as viewers were left shocked by the studio's Alice in Wonderland style makeover for Halloween. And then they were left even more startled after getting a first glimpse of how the Loose Women themselves had been made over for the occasion.

At the helm, anchor Kaye made a very creepy Mad Hatter, while Judi looked over the moon at being made over into main character Judi. Frankie looked stunning, even as the White Rabbit, while ex EastEnders actress Nadia's Queen of Hearts makeover was absolutely spot on. Linda's entrance was teased by a series of clues heading into the show's first ad break and then when cameras returned to the studio, she was seen backstage with guest Keith Lemon, dressed as Humpty Dumpty.

She eventually joined the panel in the final part of the Halloween special, when the ladies took part in a Alice in Wonderland meets I'm A Celebrity style challenge called Eat Me or Drink Me. Going first, Frankie said she was taken back to her I'm A Celeb days, as she got lucky with a glass of prosecco.

Linda went second but then turned the air blue as she knocked what was in front of her, remarking: "Oh s**t," before then looking disgusted at seeing jellied eels in front of her.

Realising she'd made the choice, Linda then grabbed the 'Drink Me' option, before also looking horrified as Kaye said: "She didn't want to eat the jellied eels, so we blended them," before aplogising for 'any bad language,' with Linda flapping about as napkins were passed for her to wipe her mouth.

As the game moved to Judi, the former Strictly star spat out her drink on set, while Nadia had a similar reaction as she was told she was taking a sip of watermelon blended with mustard.
