Lynda Bellingham's sons speak about ongoing will dispute

Lynda Bellingham’s sons have described their mother as “a very trusting woman” as they spoke about their ongoing dispute over her will.

Robbie and Michael Peluso said they felt they had not been included in decisions that were made towards the end of the TV star’s life.

Lynda died in October 2014 after a public battle with bowel cancer, leaving her estate to her third husband Michael Pattemore.

The brothers told Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on ITV’s This Morning about their struggles since she died, with Robbie saying: “I think she was a very trusting woman. She always saw the best in everyone. The advice she was given, whatever that may have been, inheritance tax and things like that, she felt that what she was doing was the best by us.

“We have a very close unit around us of friends and family to look after us who have been there for us and we just wish there was a bit more faith put into them. I just wish that the decision, that we had our own choices to make.”
