Setting the record straight, she explained that she was disappointed that Loose Women lost out on the award and her not clapping had nothing to do with Holly and Phil.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Linda said: "There is no issue between me, Holly and Phil.
"We just showed that we were disappointed that we lost, and we are allowed to be disappointed.
"It wasn’t that we didn’t clap, we were just going ‘oh no, not again, we haven’t won this year’.
"It wasn’t deliberately not clapping them; we were just sad for us."

Last Thursday, Holly and Phil were stunned when the show triumphed in the Daytime category again during last Thursday's ceremony.
As boos could be heard around Wembley Arena, the camera panned from Holly and Phil to the Loose Women stars, who had also been nominated in the category.
While Kaye Adams slow-clapped their win, Linda could be seen not clapping at all.

Linda said that she was saddened by the reception Holly and Phil received on the night, adding that the pair did not deserve that.
"I felt sorry for the reception they got as well," she continued.
“There is no feud at all, we see them all the time, we’re ITV, we all work in the same studio.
"I felt sorry for the reception that they got, I really did.
"They just didn’t get the reception that I thought they should."
The Birds of a Feather star said that pal Alison Hammond should have won an National Television Award for Best Presenter and not Ant and Dec.
Linda went on: "Alison should have won the award – Ant and Dec get it every year.
"I think she thought she had won it as well. She said ‘how embarrassing’ she thought she had won.
"We'd love to have Alison on the Loose Women panel, she is on the show this week as a guest, but they won’t allow her to be on the panel because of This Morning.”
This Morning's win comes just weeks after the furor surrounding Holly and Phil and whether they 'jumped the queue' at the Queen's Lying in State.
The frosty reception from the Loose Women ladies didn't go unnoticed by eagle-eyed viewers.
