Linda Robson Shocks Loose Women Viewers with Dramatic Walkout During Heated Debate
Linda Robson caused a stir on Monday’s (January 13) episode of Loose Women, leaving her fellow panellists stunned as she stormed off mid-show. During a heated discussion on the topic “Is it ever ok to throw a strop?” the 66-year-old Birds of a Feather star dramatically announced, “That’s it, I’m gone, I ain’t talking to you no more, I’m out of here,” before walking off the ITV set.
The panel included host Jane Moore, along with Brenda Edwards and Janet Street-Porter, who each shared their opinions on the topic. Janet admitted to being no stranger to tantrums, recalling an off-screen outburst during her time on MasterChef. Brenda defended the idea of throwing a strop as a form of “showing passion,” leading Linda to jokingly call her out for a past incident at the National Television Awards.
Linda recounted how Brenda had purchased an £85 bottle of Malbec wine at the event but became frustrated when Linda shared small amounts with others. “She said, ‘That bottle cost me £85,’” Linda said, playfully fuming. Janet jumped to Brenda’s defence, stating, “Don’t feel sorry for her”, reported by the Daily Mail.
Brenda’s defense prompted Janet to add, “That’s why I don’t socialise with you,” to which Linda retorted, “The one and only time I will ever want to go out with you.” The exchange amused the panel, with Jane quipping that their spat would likely make headlines.
The banter reached a climax when Linda, in a move reminiscent of Piers Morgan’s infamous Good Morning Britain walkout, slammed her hands on the table and announced her departure. Her theatrical exit led the production team to cut to an ad break.
When the show returned, Linda was back in her seat, and no mention of her playful stunt was made. The Liverpool Echo reported that her walkout, though lighthearted, added an unexpected moment of drama to the show.
The comedic exchange between the panellists provided plenty of laughs for viewers, with fans taking to social media to share their reactions. The incident highlighted the lively dynamic of Loose Women, proving once again that anything can happen on live TV.
