Loose Women panellist Linda Robson has lifted the lid on her upcoming Christmas plans, just weeks after she announced she'd split from her husband after 33-years. The 65-year old was previously married to Mark Dunford and will be breaking tradition this year.
Linda told ITV viewers that she will be celebrating the festive day at her eldest daughter's house. During a discussion with Kaye Adams, Judi Love and Jane Moore, Linda let slip that she was doing things a little differently this year.
As the group were discussing whether or not you should have your phone switched on during Christmas Day, Linda said: "At my house there won't be any phones, well its not actually my house this year it's Lauren's house, but normally in my house it's no phones."
She continued: "So we take the phones off them until later that day and we have a nice peaceful family time. But my grandchildren are addicted to phones. So Lila's 11, she's just got a phone for the first time.

"And Betsy's seven and Betsy is not allowed on her laptop until the weekend or any mobile phones and she's like on Monday, 'is it the weekend yet' and [Linda says] 'no we've got another five days'. And honestly it just sort of takes over your life because I was addicted to the phone myself."
Earlier this year, Linda confirmed to Woman magazine that she'd called it quits with window cleaning boss Mark Dunford. The pair share two children together, Roberta and Louis, but Linda had Lauren from a previous relationship.
In the interview, Linda said that she was "fine" and was attempting to "keep busy." She shared: "He’s a really good dad and we had some good years, but enough is enough. I'm not interested [in dating] honestly. I can’t be a***d with all that."

Before Linda and Mark parted ways, a close source reportedly told 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. Linda turned to her family and close friends who supported her through it all."
She also revealed back in June that she'd gone celibate for two years, which shocked her co-stars. She was challenged by Denise Welch who said: "I know, but you've got to get with the programme!"
