“I haven’t had a falling out with Pauline Quirke, she doesn’t want to act any more,” Linda declared.

“Because we did a Christmas special, Pauline doesn’t want to act any more, she wants to concentrate on her academy, that’s all.

“There’s no falling out whatsoever. She just doesn’t want to act any more and you’ve got to respect her wishes and that.”

Speaking about co-star Lesley Joseph, she added: “They asked us if we’d like to do it and we said we were very happy to do it. And it was a really good Christmas special.”

So would Linda ever do a spin-off on her own, Adil wondered?

“I’m not sure I could do it on my own. I’d have to have witchy-poo with me, Lesley Joseph,” she answered.

“We had no rift at all. We loved each other,” Kate confirmed.

“So who left the neighbourhood?” Adil pushed?

“Kate,” Linda explained. “She left for a bigger garden.”

“I left for a garden. It wasn’t about scale, I didn’t have one at all,” Kate giggled.
