Speaking during a debate on today’s Loose Women about whether children should be able to have mobiles and social media, Linda said: “It is really addictive.
“I was addicted to social media. Remember I couldn’t be anywhere without my phone. I’d wake up in the night and be looking at social media or whatever.
“It nearly ended my marriage because we would be sitting watching a film and I would be on my phone.
“He’d go, ‘are you going to watch the film with me or not?’ and then he’d go out and get the hump.”
Linda and Mark have known each other since they were children and she used to baby sit him.
