The former 'Emmerdale' star - who is married to Sam Kane, 10 years her junior - admits her spouse gets really "cheesed off" because he feels he looks older than she does.

She said: "I'm past worrying about my age now – I'm proud of it and I still sunbathe in a bikini. Sam gets cheesed off because he reckons he looks older than me! He still thinks I'm beautiful and makes me feel sexy, he's always been very loving. Marrying him is the best decision I've ever made in my life."

The 62-year-old actress and her husband battled coronavirus earlier this year and admits it brought them "closer as a family" despite it being a "terrifying" time for them all.

Speaking to Closer magazine of her COVID-19 battle, she added: "It was terrifying. If I hadn’t gone to hospital I wouldn’t have made it. It brought us closer together as a family."

Meanwhile, Linda previously insisted she has "pretty much recovered" from COVID-19.

She said: "I’m pretty much recovered now. Thank goodness. The first real exercise I did since I was ill was skating for the ITV show, the 'Full Monty On Ice', which I started doing last summer. We didn’t even do that much skating but the small amount really toned me up. It totally changed the shape of my bum. And it did make me feel like I was back into the working world to a healthier state of mind - like I had some worth ... Definitely to think 'Oh well I’m this age, I expect to be a bit overweight' or huffing and puffing as you go up a flight of stairs. It doesn’t have to be that way. I’ve said it before but '60 is the new 40'. You're never too old to be the best you can be and I know I feel happier when I’m slimmer."
