Linda Robson said she would 'happily' take  a migrant family into her home on Thursday's Loose Women - after 27 migrants were killed crossing the Channel on Wednesday.

‘He don’t know I’m gonna say this on telly today but I would welcome a family into my house. We’ll have the space once the kids have gone. And I’d love it.’
