Linda Robson said she is \u201ckeeping busy\u201d by spending time with her family after confirming she had split from her husband Mark Dunford. <\/p>\n

The pair had been together for 33 years but for months there has been speculation that they were going through marital problems. And now the Loose Women panellist, 65, has finally confirmed they have gone their separate ways – saying "enough is enough". <\/p>\n

However, after finally going public with the split, the Birds of a Feather actress said she was \u201cfeeling fine\u201d and \u201ckeeping busy\u201d – adding that she was not 'interested' in the idea of dating again.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In an interview with Woman magazine, she said: \u201cHe\u2019s a really good dad and we had some good years, but enough is enough. I\u2019ve got my family and my kids around me. And I\u2019m going on a cruise with (Birds of a Feather co-star) Lesley Joseph in November. I\u2019m keeping busy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel fine. I\u2019m just going away on trips all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the prospect of dating again, she added: "I can\u2019t be a***d with all that."<\/p>\n

Linda and window cleaning company owner Mark met when they were teens but did not begin dating until years later. They married in 1990 and went on to welcome two children together – Roberta, 27, and Louis, 31.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Linda, who is also mum to daughter Lauren, 40, from a previous relationship, had hinted at problems in her marriage on Loose Women recently but had not officially confirmed she and Mark had separated. She spoke of how she and Mark hadn't had sex in two years before adding: "If something's not right in a relationship then I find it very hard to disguise it. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd things haven't been right in my relationship for quite a long time so erm, I've been very honest about it."<\/p>\n

In September, Linda said she was "not looking for anyone" and "can't be f*****" when discussing dating on Loose Women. She also said 'doesn't need a partner' to love her – adding she wants \u2018affection not an erection\u2019. <\/p>\n

During a chat with her fellow panellists, Linda said: "I\u2019ve had two loves of my life and now my grandchildren are the love of my life and my children. So no, I'm not looking for anyone."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Initially, Linda had rubbished speculation concerning her marriage and said she and Mark were simply having a "few hiccups". <\/p>\n

She had said on the show: "That\u2019s a load of rubbish. We\u2019re still living together. We both love our kids more than anything else in the world, obviously you have a few hiccups in every marriage.<\/p>\n

"We\u2019ve been married 33 years so it\u2019s not going to be all plain sailing, but we\u2019re still together at the moment."<\/p>\n

But in August Linda made a cryptic comment about Mark and her marriage struggles. In a chat about her weekend on Loose Women, she revealed she took herself out for dinner as all the kids had flown the nest and the only people at home were her dog and her husband. She added, \u2018notice the order\u2019, making the other Loose Women stars break down in laughter as she had placed her husband beneath her dog.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
