Loose Women's Linda Robson opens up on tragic baby loss live on air
Linda Robson courageously shared her heart-wrenching experience of miscarriage with her Loose Women co-stars Charlene White, Coleen Nolan, and Ayda Field Williams.
In the episode aired on Tuesday (October 15), the ITV daytime show's panel delved into the subject of parenthood and pondered over 'the right time to have kids'. This prompted Linda to open up about her own journey with baby loss.
The 66-year-old recounted: "Well, I had Lauren when I was 25, and then there was an 11-year gap before I had Louis, and then I think about a five-year gap between Bobby. So at 25, I was quite a young mum and everything."
She continued with a poignant revelation: "I lost one in between Louis and Bobby, sorry, Louis and Lauren, so I would have had four children, but that didn't happen."
Reflecting on the strong relationship her children share today, the ex-Birds of a Feather actress remarked: "It was just the age difference. Lauren hated Louis when he was born as she had 11 years on her own sleeping in a bed with me, and it was just me and her," reports the Mirror.

"Then all of a sudden this brother turns up who has got eczema and asthma so he needed a bit more care than the other kids."
She concluded by highlighting a turning point: "It was only when we went to Australia, I was working out in Australia and I took the three kids out there, that Louis and Lauren bonded because she was looking after him while I was working. Now the three are close as anything, they really are."
Linda has previously discussed the profound sorrow of losing a baby on a past episode of Loose Women in 2021.

Linda confided in her co-stars, saying: "You know, when you just know that it's not the same as the other pregnancies and something's not quite right there. So I rang the hospital and asked if I could come in and have another scan."
She continued: "That was a really hard day, like going home that night knowing that I'd have to go in and have suction the next day."
