Linda Robson fans defend her against weight loss criticism

She's dropped three stone over the last 18 months

Linda Robson’s fans have defended her over criticism she’s lost too much weight.

Over the past 18 months, the Loose Women star has dropped three stone by giving up sugar and completely overhauling her diet after having a diabetes scare.

However, while fans have mostly praised how amazing the 60-year-old looks, some have expressed concern that she has lost a little too much weight.

Linda shared a Boomerang pic to Instagram earlier this week and some people expressed their concerns.

The post sees Linda showing off her toned bod in an all-black outfit, which she wore on Loose Women.

Linda captioned the post: “Lovely last show of 2018 @loosewomen sorry about the voice,” referring to her croaky voice during the show.

While many fans rushed to compliment Linda, others were worried she’s lost too much weight.

One person said: “Don’t lose any more weight Linda, enjoy your Christmas with your lovely family.”

Another wrote: “Linda please don’t lose too much more weight you look amazing,” while a third commented: “Linda…. where have you gone, there’s nothing of you! Stay just as you are.”

But others were quick to defend Linda, with one person saying: “Stop being so negative about her weight she’s looking perfectly healthy and fab.”

Another wrote: “You look incredible, ignore the haters,” while a third added: “Wow you look phenomenal.”

Linda embraced a new healthy regime after doctors warned she could be susceptible to diabetes if she didn’t make changes to her diet.

The star also revealed she’s taken up yoga twice a week with an instructor in London.

Earlier this year, Linda revealed her loved ones are incredibly proud of her achievement but do not want her to get carried away and lose too much weight.

She told the Mirror: “I am eating healthy and go to the gym a couple of times a week. If I haven’t reached my 10,000 steps I run around the kitchen and up the steps.

“But my husband and my two daughters have said ‘Mum, that is enough now, you need to calm down on the exercise front.'”

Meanwhile, during an episode of Loose Women, Linda hit back at people who criticised her for losing too much weight.

She said: “I’ve been on the front cover of so many magazines for being overweight with them saying, ‘look at the size of her now and what’s happened to her’, and now I’ve lost weight everyone is saying, ‘fans are begging her to put on weight.’

“I’m 10 stone, I’ve never been so healthy in my life. I go to yoga and walking and I eat healthy. I feel better now than I ever have.”
