Loose Women star Linda also spoke about her lockdown weight gain and revealed she’s currently a size 16 and happy with her figure.
Mark’s fears for her health
However, she doesn’t want to put on any more weight – and Linda added that Mark has worried about her health in the past.
“I feel [like it’s] been an issue. He’ll say he’s worried for my health because if I get too big… I [feel] like I’m in my forties or early fifties, not in my sixties. And I’m not going down without a fight, either!” she said.
As a result, Linda said she’ll keep dyeing her hair, using fake tan and plucking her chin hair until she’s in her eighties.

Linda admitted she used to want to be a size 10, but “not now”.
