The Birds Of A Feather star, 65, made the confession during Thursday’s Loose Women as the panel discussed if taking a ‘sex break’ can help struggling relationships.
Chiming into the conversation, Linda said: ‘Can I just say I’ve been celibate for two years?’ with Denise Welch responding: ‘I know, but you’ve got to get with the programme.’
Making a very cheeky confession, Linda quipped: ‘I know, you got me a lady friend,’ as their fellow panellists burst out laughing.
As Charlene White questioned if the celibacy had helped her focus and given her clarity she responded: ‘Well I’ve had no choice, I’ve not had it for two years!’
Linda has been married to Mark for 33 years but reportedly told friends the pair are going through a marriage crisis.
Linda and Mark share children Louis, 31, and Roberta, 27. Linda also has a daughter Lauren, 40, with her ex Tony Tyler.
The couple, who married in 1990, live together in London but it was claimed in recent weeks they have been having relationship difficulties.

Linda has been married to Mark for 33 years but reportedly told friends the pair are going through a marriage crisis.
Linda and Mark share children Louis, 31, and Roberta, 27. Linda also has a daughter Lauren, 40, with her ex Tony Tyler.
The couple, who married in 1990, live together in London but it was claimed in recent weeks they have been having relationship difficulties.
A source told The Sun on Sunday: ‘Linda has been quite open behind the scenes about problems in her marriage.
‘They hit a bit of a rough patch before Christmas but they’ve managed to work through it.
‘Linda turned to her family and close friends who supported her through it all.’
While Linda denied she was in the midst of a ‘marriage crisis’ she admitted that it hasn’t been plain sailing with her long-term love.
When asked about the crisis by The Sun she stated: ‘That’s a load of rubbish.
‘We’re still living together. We both love our kids more than anything else in the world, obviously you have a few hiccups in every marriage.
‘We’ve been married 33 years so it’s not going to be all plain sailing, but we’re still together at the moment.’

The actress recently spoke about going through ‘ups and downs’ in her relationship.
She told Best magazine: ‘There have been ups and downs, obviously, like any couple. What I think we have in common is that we love our kids more than anything.’
Linda is known for her candour as a Loose Women star and recently revealed on the panel she was told her 50-year showbiz career would be over after signing up for a controversial TV show.
She was one of five celebrities who toured America in a psychedelic bus to explore cannabis use on ITV series Gone To Pot back in 2017.
Linda and her co-stars, Pam St Clement, Christopher Biggins, John Fashanu and Bobby George, took marijuana in various forms on the tour, which culminated in them wanting cannabis legalised in the UK.
However, Linda was warned by her agent before taking the job that it could be risky for her career.
Linda explained to The Sun: ‘My agent thought it was [risky] when I was asked to do Gone To Pot.
‘She said ‘I don’t think you should do it. You’re a daytime face on television, you’ll probably never work again’. But I said, ‘The series I’m doing is for ITV, I do most of my work for ITV anyway, so I don’t see how it can hurt in any way”.
Fortunately, Linda’s three grown-up children disagreed. She continued: ‘I asked the kids as well. I said, ‘I’ve been asked to do a programme called Gone To Pot where I travel around America in a psychedelic bus and I’m going to be taking cannabis. What do you think?”
‘And they said, ‘We think you’re the coolest mum in the world’. I always ask the kids whatever I’m doing because it affects them as well. They were for it, and they loved the series.’
