Linda Robson's cancer gene fears

Linda Robson is set to undergo genetic testing, as she worries about giving her daughters the breast cancer gene.

The \'Loose Women\' star has a history of the gene in her family, so is undergoing tests on herself to see if she has it too, as she worries about passing it on to her daughters - Roberta, 24, and Lauren, 37.

She said: "My niece was diagnosed with it and my cousin - so we\'re getting genetic testing now. Our aunts may have had it, we think - but there were no mammograms then. I\'m just worried about my daughters, if I do have the gene that puts me at risk."

And Linda - who also has 28-year-old son Louis - is focusing on her health lately, after previously struggling with anxiety and depression.

She added: "I\'ve never been one for a fry-up. And I haven\'t had a drink in two years. Two of my kids are vegan, they\'ve run the London Marathon - they inspire me. Your health is everything. But last year I lost way too much. At the start it was fine, I was down to a size 10-12, but then I kept going.

"I was about eight stone at one stage, but I looked about 110! I looked atrocious. I see pictures now at my tiniest and it just reminds me of being in a dark place. I was struggling with anxiety and depression, I had absolutely no appetite."

Linda never "imagined" she would suffer with her mental health.

She told the Daily Star newspaper: "I\'d never have imagined I\'d suffer from depression or anxiety. If anyone had told me that, I\'d have said, \'Nah, not me!\'"
