In a recent interview, television personality Linda Robson opened up about her recent struggles with parking fines. Despite her status as a "national treasure," the Loose Women star has found herself shelling out a whopping £3,000 in fines. Linda shared this news during a segment on Good Morning Britain, where she appeared alongside hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls.
According to Linda, her driving skills are "really bad," and she's not just getting ticketed for her parking. She revealed, "I've just paid £3,000 worth of parking tickets." As Ed tried to defend her parking abilities, Linda added, "My driving isn't good either. They've taken my car keys off me, my kids have taken control of my money and my car. So I'm not allowed to drive anymore."
Linda's children, including her daughter Lauren and two children with ex-husband Mark Dunford, have taken matters into their own hands by hiding her car keys. "I get pocket money on a Monday and a Friday because I can't be trusted with my money either!" Linda joked.
It seems like Linda's parking fines are not the only thing she's spending her pocket money on. She admitted that she also splurges on "expensive candles." But last year, Linda found herself in a much more serious situation when she was caught driving without insurance.
The Evening Standard reported that Linda was pulled over near Angel Tube station in London and was hit with a £923 fine for not renewing her car insurance. She also received six penalty points on her license and had to pay £100 in costs and a £369 victim surcharge. Linda pleaded guilty in court, stating that she was unaware her insurance had expired.
Despite her celebrity status, Linda was not exempt from the consequences of her mistake. She was given 28 days to settle the court bill, which totaled £1,329. Linda's experience serves as a reminder that even "national treasures" must follow the rules of the road.
