Linda Hancock (previously Armstrong) was the ex-wife of Owen Armstrong, and the absent mother of their daughters Izzy and Katy. When Katy was just a toddler, Linda and Owen separated after she had an affair and Owen continued to raise their daughters without any contact from Linda for the next twenty years. Linda could be heard off-screen in May 2016 when Chesney was speaking to his girlfriend Sinead Tinker on web chat from Portugal. It is unknown who voiced Linda in this "appearance" as no credit is given.
