Linda got a dressing down backstage and feared she’d be booted off the show.
She told Daily Star: “The day that I said the F-word, I thought I was going to lose my job. I really did. I got into trouble over that.

“It was half-term, so kids were watching. When I got back to the green room, everyone was talking.
“The producers were okay because I didn’t swear at somebody… I hadn’t said ‘F*** off, you!’”
Linda still gets regular warnings to keep it clean.
She said: “They say, ‘Don’t swear Linda’. They put me in an ice bath on my birthday and I f***ing hate cold water. They were going, ‘Don’t swear, don’t swear’. But it was so cold, so they’re lucky I didn’t swear!”

She admitted: “I do swear when we’re not on air and it’s just me and the audience. They love it when I swear.”
During the memorable moment, Linda was rolling out a trolley load of cash into the studio, explaining to viewers how they could win it.
But she turned to the panel and asked “how the f***” she was meant to read the prompter and walk at the same time.
It was then that she discovered the clip wasn’t being recorded to air later – and they were life on air.
The panel gasped in shock while others tried to hide their laughter.
