Linda Robson opens up on ‘feud’ with Birds of a Feather star Pauline Quirke & whether a show reunion is in the pipeline
BIRDS Of A Feather will not return says Linda Robson, explaining that her long-time co-star Pauline Quirke doesn't want to.
However, the Loose Women star insists that's not because of any 'feud' rumbling between pair.
Linda and Pauline shot to fame alongside Lesley Joseph in the classic sitcom about two Essex girls whose men were in prison.
It ran from 1989 to 1998 on the BBC then 2014 to 2020 on ITV, with Linda and Lesley doing a Christmas Special in 2020.
Notably absent from the sitcom's line-up was Pauline, prompting rumour of a rift.
But Linda insists: “Pauline and I have just been for lunch last week, and the week before that the three of us went out.

"Between the three of us, we’re about 200 years old.
"Lesley is 76, I’m 64 and Pauline is 62, and none of us have had any work done, which is unusual in this day and age.”
Explaining why Birds Of A Feather won't return she said: "The problem is, Pauline now doesn’t want to act any more.
"She wants to concentrate on her acting academy. Lesley and I did the Christmas special, and it worked really well.

"But Pauline has decided she’s happy with her plans and her acting academy, so it’s very unlikely it will happen again.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Linda opened up about cosmetic surgery, warning her daughters to steer clear of it.
She said: “My girls keep talking about wanting lip fillers, and I’ve warned them, ‘Don’t you dare have your lips done or I’ll never speak to you again’.
“I felt if I had Botox, then they’d think they could have lip fillers.”
