Why was Andrea McLean on Lorraine today?

Andrea quit her role on Loose Women back in December 2020.

During her interview, Andrea spoke about how she didn’t regret quitting Loose Women, a move she says people have called “brave”.

“This is my first time being back on TV and back in the room that we share with Loose,” she said. “It was a [brave decision] and the reason the whole book came about was because at the time so many people said to me you’re so brave to do that thing, to pivot.

“And all I kept thinking was I don’t feel brave, I feel really scared but it was just something I really needed to do.”

What else did she have to say?

She then went on to explain how the book came about.

“And then I thought, right, how can I bottle everything I’ve used to do a brave thing when I’ve felt scared?” she said.

“I put together a 10-day challenge for my lovely community and then saw the results and it made me brave enough [to make the book],” she said.

Elsewhere in the interview with Lorraine, Andrea revealed that she had suffered a “breakdown” a few years ago.

“I had a breakdown a few years ago Lorraine, because I was going and going and going and I didn’t want to look at really what was happening,” she said.

“I was just trying to keep busy and not think,” she continued. “Learn from my mistakes and just stop for a minute.”
