Loose Women’s Linda Robson confesses she’s ‘really sad’ to see Boris Johnson resign before offering the ‘now homeless’ Prime Minister her spare room-Meghna Amin-Entertainment – Metro

Loose Women panellist Linda Robson has raised the eyebrows of some viewers after she defended Boris Johnson.

Yesterday, the Prime Minister announced his resignation following a series of resignations from fellow Tory party members and after months of various scandals.

However, the UK is entering another period of political uncertainty as the PM has not resigned with immediate effect and vows to stay on as caretaker leader until a new one is selected.

During the ITV daytime talk show today, Linda, who was joined by panellists Jane Moore, Frankie Bridge and Kéllé Bryan, jumped to Boris’ defence, saying she is ‘sad’ about what has happened.

The Birds of a Feather star said: ‘I’m really sad because I have been a bit of a Boris fan as everyone knows.

‘He lives in Islington where I live and I used to see him all the time and stop and have a chat with him.’

She continued: ‘He’s been through more than any other Prime Minister since the war really. First of all we had Brexit then we had Covid then he got Covid and nearly died.

‘I think the public should have had some say in this. I don’t think it should have just been up to the politicians. We all have a right to have a say in it as well.

‘I think he has done quite a good job when you look back at how he rolled out the vaccinations and the furloughed people who were out of work.’

Linda then added: ‘Yeah I am a fan of Boris and I am really sad,’ before joking that she has two spare bedrooms if the Prime Minister needs somewhere to stay after departing 10 Downing Street.

‘I have got two bedrooms in my house Boris if you’re looking for somewhere to stay, because he’s now homeless as well, isn’t he! He’s got nowhere to live anymore!’

Loose Women viewers slammed Linda over the comments, with one writing: ‘Has Linda watched any TV this week, has she listened to anything about Boris AT ALL, what I suggest you do Linda is have a little Google about Boris and you might realise he isn’t just a nice guy riding a bike round Islington, thick as mince.’

Another scathing viewer penned: ‘Maybe Linda Robson should stick with Love Island recaps instead of telling us all what a great guy Boris is. Has she any idea of the facts re party gate? Embarrassing.’

Meanwhile, Linda’s co-star Frankie admitted feeling ‘nervous’ about what will happen after Boris’ departure, while Kelle commented that his stepping down was the ‘right thing to do.’
