A month after being hospitalised in March 2020, Linda admitted the pain she suffered from the virus was so excruciating she wanted to die.

Speaking to FUBAR Radio, she said: ‘I do think that we should be opening up, but I think we should keep the masks on, if we can. Because that’s no real trouble to anyone, is it really?’
The Page 3 legend continued: ‘Public transport, absolutely one hundred per cent. Especially in the underground. I think we should be wearing them [masks]
‘Even if it just stops you getting the usual cold every Christmas it’s worth it.
Taking umbrage with politicians downplaying the severity of the situation, Linda said: ‘They say things like, ‘We will only get 17 deaths a day and we’ll only get this.’..
‘I think that’s a lot for something that we could stop, you know, those 17 dying, if we took a few more precautions.
‘I think life is too precious to just say, you know, well the numbers have gone down. But there’s still people dying,’ she added.
