Linda Robson wants to take part in 'Celebrity Big Brother'.

The 65-year-old TV star is best known for her long-running role as a panellist on ITV1's 'Loose Women' and now that the celebrity version of the social experiment game show - which was previously won by her co-star Denise Welch - is being revived next year, she believes she would be a good housemate because she no longer drinks alcohol and is keen to take on new opportunities now that she is in her sixties.

She told The Daily Star: "I think I could do it now because I don't drink anymore, I haven't drunk for three years. I think they would have worried about me going in there if I had my wine but I won't get drunk now and spill the beans on everyone. I would be up for it. I like getting away from the house. I don't like being stuck in so anything to get me out of the house, any holidays. As I'm getting older, I'm 65 now, I don't want to say no to anything and try different things now.

"Since I turned 60, I've jumped out of an aeroplane, I've swam with sharks in Miami and I climbed Ben Nevis with Nadia [Sawalha] and Kaye [Adams], my daughter and son did it as well. I nearly killed myself, I think my body was in shock. It was the hardest thing I've ever done but I did it."

The 'Birds of a Feather' actress first appeared on 'Loose Women' as a guest panellist in 2003 before becoming a full-time member of the lineup in 2012 and joked that sometimes her family sometimes tell her off for the things she says on air but insisted that she is only an "honest" person.

She said: "I get told off sometimes. Even if they are not watching the show, someone will text and say 'You never guess what your mum's said today'. I'm very honest but I'm not a horrible woman."
