LOOSE Women panellist Linda Robson was put to the test on air by fitness instructor Catrina Whittaker.

Originally from Athersley South, Catrina, 25, appeared on the ITV show when Linda - who is embarking on a new healthy lifestyle - attended one of her 80s’ aerobic classes.

Now based in London, Catrina joked: “Linda was really down to earth. She did her best not to work out that much, it was all for show.

“At the end, I said I would see her next week and she said yes, but when I had gone off-camera she said she wasn’t coming back. The cheeky monkey. She’s not been back, I keep pestering her.”
