Even though they’ll all still close pals, they aren’t planning to revive the show.

Linda added: “Pauline doesn’t want to act anymore. She has her acting academies now.”

Birds of a Feather is one of the most successful comedies in TV history.

It ran for nine series on the BBC and then three on ITV.

At its peak it was pulling in more than 12million viewers and winning top awards.

Linda said: “They don’t really make comedies like ours anymore. There aren’t really many comedies on telly these days.”

A few months Linda spilled the beans on her rumoured rift with Pauline, revealing on Monday’s show that a reunion was “really nice” after years apart.

She said: “Sometimes it’s really nice to reunite. We had many, many years doing Birds of a Feather then we had a big break.”

She added: “Then a few years ago we reunited. It was the happiest time. We’d all been together over 25 years and it was like we’d never been apart.”

Linda delivered a hopeful message: “You can reunite and it can work.”
