LINDA Robson has revealed her huge new job away from Loose Women.
The TV personality is well-known for her role as Tracey Stubbs in the hit sitcom, Birds Of A Feather.
Linda, 66, last appeared alongside Lesley Joseph and Pauline Quirke in the hit show in December 2020.
She also first made her debut on the panel of the ITV Daytime debate show in 2003 and has been a on/off regular ever since.
Now, the star has revealed that she will take to the stage in the West End production of Fawlty Towers.
When she was asked about her upcoming roles, the Loose Women star gushed about her acting comeback.
She told us: “I did The Good Ship Murder, and then I’m going into [John Cleese’s] Fawlty Towers, the play, for a couple of months, so I’m looking forward to that.”
Jokingly adding: “Hopefully I won’t have to sing.”
Despite having dipped her toes back into the acting circuit and her many live appearances on ITV, it seems the seasoned professional still feels the apprehension.
When asked if she was feeling nervous, Linda admitted to The Sun: “A little bit, yes.”
“Because I haven’t done stage for a little while. I’m going to see it on Friday night, and then we start [the live shows] in probably May/June.”
This comes as Linda attended the exclusive press night of The Last Laugh at the Noel Coward Theatre, which runs for the next month only.

“So yeah, I’m going to be doing eight days of filming for that in Malta.”
Linda continued: “Hopefully I don’t die!
“My character’s name is Elsa and I think I play a cabin steward and I’m filming that in March.
“I’ve met Shayne quite a few times too – he’s been a guest at Loose Women but apparently he sings in every episode doesn’t he?”
