Linda Robson leaves football fans staggered as they discover she has a VERY famous son – with emotional viral video unearthing ‘shock’ news

Linda Robson sent shockwaves around Twitter over the weekend, when football fans learnt she has a very famous singer son.

After a video showing the star, 66, at Emirates Stadium crying to Arsenal’s anthem, The Angel (North London Forever) was sent around Twitter, users were stunned to learn she is mother to the song’s singer and writer, Louis Dunford.

The Loose Women panelist, 66, who has lived in Islington her whole life, was seen weeping as the song played prior to Arsenal’s defeat of Bournemouth on Saturday.

Lіndа, wһo ѕһаreѕ Loᴜіѕ wіtһ һer ex-һᴜѕЬаnd маrk Dᴜnford, ѕраrked маѕѕ cһаt аcroѕѕ Twіtter – wіtһ маnу referrіng to һer roleѕ іn EаѕtEnderѕ аnd Ьіrdѕ Of а Feаtһer – аѕ ѕһe wаѕ fіlмed lіѕtenіng to һer ѕon’ѕ 2022 ѕong.

Tһe аctreѕѕ wаѕ маrrіed to маrk froм 1990 to lаѕt уeаr, wһen ѕһe аnnoᴜnced tһeу were раrtіng wауѕ Ьecаᴜѕe tһeу ‘wаnted dіfferent lіfeѕtуleѕ’. ѕһe ѕаіd іn NoʋeмЬer: ‘We һаd ѕoмe good уeаrѕ, Ьᴜt enoᴜgһ іѕ enoᴜgһ’.

Linda, who shares Louis with her ex-husband Mark Dunford, sparked mass chat across Twitter – with many referring to her roles in EastEnders and Birds Of A Feather – as she was filmed listening to her son’s 2022 song. The actress was married to Mark from 1990 to last year, when she announced they were parting ways because they ‘wanted different lifestyles’. She said in November: ‘We had some good years, but enough is enough’.

A social media user under the handle Gooner Chris shared the video showing Linda crying while listening to Arsenal’s anthem, The Angel (North London Forever). 

He added an accompanying caption reading: ‘Louis Dunford’s mother, none other than famous British actress LINDA ROBSON, hearing her son’s Arsenal anthem “North London Forever” live for the first time’. 

Excited Twitter users penned: ‘I didn’t know that… I had NO clue that was his Mother! How insane… Yo is that pauline from eastenders… Shes off birds and a feather program?… I’m shooketh… I had no idea that Linda is his mum!… 

‘Wait what Louis Dunfords mum is from bird of a feather!!! #todayyearsold… Never knew that was his mum wow, up the Arsenal… Eh? Wasn’t she in Eastenders?… Wait a minute, his mum is Linda Robson?’

A stunned user noted the fact that another Loose Women star has a very famous son – in the form of Denise Welch and The 1975’s Matty Healy. 

The fan wrote: ‘finding out louis dunford is linda robson’s son feels like finding out matty healy is denise welch’s son all over again’.

Other people were far better informed – and shocked that others had no idea about the piece of trivia. Linda fans penned: ‘The amount of people shocked Linda Robson is Louis’s mum…

‘I can’t believe: 1) So many Arsenal fans didn’t know Louis Dunford was Linda Robson’s son. 2) Linda Robson’s name other than ‘the woman from Birds of a feather’.
