Under the glare of the studio lights, the 52-year-old opened up about having a nervous breakdown – something she had previously only discussed with her friends and fellow panellists.
But despite her fear of the viewers knowing what she had been through, Andrea said it felt therapeutic to be honest and she could finally start to come to terms with her ordeal.
