The actress, 65, who saw her late mother Rita struggle with the disease, said it was “evil”.

Former Birds of a Feather star Linda said she held a meeting about the subject with producers of Loose Women before a broadcast and told them she wanted her children “to put a pillow over my face and they said ‘You can’t say that on TV’.”

She first explored the subject in 2017 ITV show Gone To Pot, where she travelled with stars including EastEnder Pam St Clement to the US to investigate legal cannabis.

Since then she has teamed up with cannabis e-clinic Releaf, which promotes its benefits.
