Linda Robson made an X-rated joke about her sex life on Loose Women on Friday which left her fellow panelists in stitches.
The presenter, 65, is newly-single after she announced her split from husband Mark Dunford in November following 33 years of marriage.
The hosts were talking about haunted houses and if they believed in ghostly spirits when Linda couldn’t resist making a cheeky quip about Kaye Adam’s innuendo question.
Kaye asked: ‘Have you ever been scared of things that go bump in the night? Not that kind Linda’.
To which Linda replied: ‘I wish!’
During the segment, Olivia Attwood revealed she got rid of a sofa over fears it was haunted while Sue Cleaver felt a spooky presence in a hotel.
Linda, however, is more cynical about the supernatural world.
She said: ‘Derek Acorah (a spiritual medium) came to my house for Celebrity Quitters. We were all giving up smoking.
‘And he said “can you hear that dog?” I said “No”. He said “Michael Jackson’s dog is in your kitchen”.
‘He actually believed Michael Jackson’s dog was in my kitchen.’
Olivia asked: ‘Did he say what kind of dog it was?
Linda replied: ‘He didn’t say what dog but I said “just make sure it doesn’t poo on my floor”.’
In November, Linda confirmed her split from husband Mark Dunford after 33 years of marriage.
‘He’s a really good dad and we had some good years, but enough is enough,’ she told Women magazine.
‘I’ve got my family and my kids around me. And I’m going on a cruise with Lesley Joseph in November. I’m keeping busy. I feel fine. I’m just going away on trips all the time.
‘I’m not interested [in dating] honestly. I can’t be a***d with all that.’
Linda and window cleaning company owner Mark, 63, share children Louis, 31, and Roberta, 27. Linda also has a daughter Lauren, 40, with her ex Tony Tyler.
The exes – who married in 1990 – live together in London but prior to their split, it was claimed they were having relationship difficulties.
Linda denied she was in the midst of a ‘marriage crisis’ at the time but admitted that it hasn’t been plain sailing with her long-term love.
When asked about the crisis by The Sun she stated: ‘That’s a load of rubbish.
‘We’re still living together. We both love our kids more than anything else in the world, obviously you have a few hiccups in every marriage.
‘We’ve been married 33 years so it’s not going to be all plain sailing, but we’re still together at the moment.’
The actress recently spoke about going through ‘ups and downs’ in her relationship.
She told Best magazine: ‘There have been ups and downs, obviously, like any couple. What I think we have in common is that we love our kids more than anything.’
In June, the mother-of-three admitted she hasn’t had sex with Mark for two years while the Loose Women panel discussed if taking a ‘sex break’ can help struggling relationships.
Jumping into the conversation, Linda said: ‘Can I just say I’ve been celibate for two years?’ with Denise Welch responding: ‘I know, but you’ve got to get with the programme.’
