'Watch this space...' Loose Women's Linda Robson teases a new comedy show with Lesley Joseph
Linda Robson said she and her former Birds of a Feather sitcom co-star Lesley Joseph have had "some discussions" about doing a comedy show together.
Linda Robson and Lesley Joseph have had "some discussions" about doing a comedy show together.
The duo have not acted in a TV programme together since the much-loved BBC-then-ITV sitcom Birds of a Feather was axed in December 2020.
Linda told the new issue of Woman magazine: "Hopefully Lesley and I will do something together.
"I think we'd like to do another comedy, which would be really fun. We've had some discussions, so watch this space."
The star and Lesley worked with their dear friend Pauline Quirke, 66, in Birds of a Feather - which followed two sisters, Tracey Stubbs (Linda) and Sharon Theodopolopodous (Pauline), who move in together next door to Dorien (Lesley) after their spouses are arrested for armed robbery.
Linda and Lesley's new show will not feature Pauline, as her husband Steve Sheen publicly announced in January her retirement from acting after a dementia diagnosis.
Pauline stepped away from "all commercial and professional duties" after being diagnosed with the degenerative condition - which causes a decline in thinking, memory, and reasoning skills - in 2021.
In February, Linda heartbreakingly revealed Pauline - whom she has been best friends with since they were aged 10 - "doesn't know" who she is anymore.
Giving an update on how Pauline - who has a daughter called Emily, 40, and a son named Charlie, 30, with Steve - is keeping, Linda said: "She's doing all right. She's being well looked after. I've been in touch with her and her family.
"We managed to keep her dementia quiet until Steve decided it was time to release a statement.
"She's got a really good family around her, like her kids and husband.
"Sometimes, I speak to her on FaceTime."
Elsewhere in her interview with the magazine, Linda quashed rumours that she wanted to do E4's Celebs Go Dating, following her split from husband Mark Dunford in November 2023 after 33 years of marriage.
Linda - who has son Louis, 33, and daughter Bobbie, 29, with Mark - said: "I'm not interested at all! I'm very happy with my dog."
TV presenter Vanessa Feltz, 63, did Celebs Go Dating in 2023 after she split from her fiance, Phats and Small singer Ben Ofoedu, 53, after she discovered he was unfaithful.
And Vanessa told Linda - who also has daughter Lauren, 42, with her ex-partner Tony Tyler - that she received a big paycheque for doing the E4 programme.
Linda said: "Vanessa Feltz did it a few years ago, and she told me they paid her very well, and she had a kitchen extension fitted with the money."
