Linda Robson has opened up about what she'd like when it comes to her own funeral. Speaking on Loose Women, the presenter and actor shared some very specific details.

Talking about the recent EastEnders farewell to Dot Branning (aka June Brown) she told Janet Street-Porter, Coleen Nolan and Christine Lampard her thoughts on passing away.

"Funerals have always been terribly things, haven’t they, like upsetting things, and I think they should be a celebration of a person’s life.

"When I go, I’m 64 now so you do start thinking about it, I want on my tomb stone, 'Here lies potty mouth Nanny Linda', that’s what I’m known on this programme.

"I also want I Have The Time of My Life to be played there because I want something uplifting."

She added: "I also want to be cremated because Lauren’s [Linda’s daughter] dad was cremated last year and they’re wearing him in a little star around his neck.

"So I’ll have the ashes, so I’ll be with them always."

She continued: "Also, when we go, we’ll always be around still because you can Google us, and we’ll be in the future, like a hundred years time, our great, great, great grandchildren will say, 'Oh look, that was my nan!‘"

The Birds of a Feather actress admitted: "I’ve got lots of people and animals’ ashes in my knicker drawer.

"I’ve got little bags of ashes from George and from Ernie [her late dogs] and from other members of the family. They’re in little packets."
