OHMYGOSSIP — Andrea McLean “misses” being on ‘Loose Women.’
The 52-year-old star – who is married to businessman Nick Feeney and has children Finlay, 21, and Amy, 16, from previous relationships- started anchoring the ITV lunchtime chat show back in 2007 but quit in 2020 to set up online wellness platform This Girl is On Fire and admitted she still yearns for the “thrill” of being on live television even though she was doing the “right thing” by leaving.
She said: “It was scary and it didn’t help that everybody said to me ‘That’s a really bad idea.’ But I wanted to do it. So I did. My husband Nick joined me and we put everything we had into the business, but that first year, in particular, was tough and we worked ridiculously hard. Nick and I even went to see a relationship coach. We were spending so much time together and although nothing was broken in our marriage, we wanted to know how we could work better together. I got my own personal development coach, too, and she helped me with my career transition in terms of identity and figuring out who I was. It was a big change, but ultimately I knew I was doing the right thing. I miss bits of my old job – all the ‘Loose Women’ ladies, the thrill of live TV, and having my hair and make-up done!”
The former GMTV weathergirl – who fronted ‘Loose Women’ on a rotational basis with the likes of Ruth Langsford, Carol Vorderman, and Kaye Adams over the years but was eventually replaced by newsreader Charlene White – went on to explain that she would “definitely” return to television if she could present a show about “personal growth.”
She told MyWeekly: “I would definitely go back and I’d ideally like to present a show on personal growth and helping people to feel good. There are all kinds of transformational programmes on TV, whether it’s body transformation or trying to look 10 years younger. But actually, if you could take 10 years off someone’s mindset, that would be a show I’d want to be involved with because that’s what I do every day with my platform.
“And I think sometimes it’d be nice to go back and just do a job for someone else, and not have to worry, ‘Is this running to time? How much is all this costing?
