Loose Women's Linda Robson going through 'rough patch' with husband of 33 years

Loose Women star Linda Robson has been plagued with marriage troubles and has turned to her pals for support, according to reports.

The ITV presenter and her husband Mark Dunford are said to be 'in crisis' after hitting a 'rough patch' in their 33-year-long union. The couple tied the knot in 1990 and are parents to singer-songwriter Louis, 30, and daughter Roberta, 26.

Linda also has an older daughter, Lauren, 39, from a previous relationship. A source The Sun: “Linda has been quite open behind the scenes about problems in her marriage. They hit a bit of a rough patch before Christmas but they’ve managed to work through it."

They added: “Linda turned to her family and close friends who supported her through it all.”

Recently, Linda has opened up on her 'intuition' after revealing she had been cheated on by two previous partners. On Loose Women last week, Linda and fellow host Colleen Nolan were discussing the reports that Emmerdale star Amy Nuttall grew suspicious of her husband Andrew Buchan's infidelity.

She said: “It’s intuition, it’s happened to me twice. Two partners have cheated on me, and both times I’ve known something was wrong in the relationship and I’ve confronted them and they’ve always denied it.

"Until eventually one of their friends or one of your friends says, ‘Do you know that this has been happening behind your back?’.”

The TV personality also detailed how her social media addiction had a negative impact on her marriage as she couldn't put her phone down. She said on the show: "It is really addictive. I was addicted to social media, do you remember?"

Linda added: "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."
