Loose Women is set to honour the beloved late panellist with a special tribute today (October 16) marking the 10th anniversary of her untimely passing.
Close friend Jane McDonald recently revealed that she believes that Lynda is still guiding her life in some ways years after her death.
The pair were very close friends after appearing on Loose Women together from 2004 until 2010 and Jane says Lynda gave her other career breaks along the way.
"So I still think Lynda's guiding us all in our own ways. Her and I became really, really good friends over the years of Loose Women,” Jane told the White Wine Question time podcast. “I'll always be grateful to Lynda for guiding me a little bit.”
Husbands feud with her sonsLynda's husband Michael previously feuded with her sons over her assets after she died.
The TV star's £1.9million estate caused a public dispute as her two sons Robbie and Michael alleged Mr Pattemore splashed “thousands of pounds on lavish holidays and other luxuries”.
But In June 2016, a document released by the High Court showed that the actual value of said estate was only £166,000. Her actual debts, according to the document, numbered more than £1.7million.
In 2017, it was reported that Michael and Robbie were to be left with just £50,000 each of their mother’s estate. At the time, various outlets reported that they had been “betrayed” by their step-father.
At the time, Lynda’s son Michael argued: “It’s a kick in the teeth hearing about his hell when he’s sitting on around £5million of property, much of which was bought with our mum’s money. None of Mum’s family or friends will speak to him now.”

The dance couples' time in the competition was short, though, and the pair left in week four and the show was eventually won by sports presenter Chris Hollins and his professional partner Ola Jordan.
