ITV Loose Women fans complain at 'brave' comments as Andrea McLean makes return year after quitting

Andrea McLean Loose Ruth Langsford Katie Piper

Loose Women welcomed back a familiar face on Monday's show as Andrea McLean returned as a guest almost year and a half after she quit.

Andrea spent 13 years as one of the anchors on the ITV lunchtime panel show but announced her decision to leave in November 2020 before appearing on her last show the following month. She revealed the news live on the programme, explaining that she wanted to "be brave" and try new things.

But as Ruth Langsford took the helm at the start of a new week on the ITV show, she announced that the panel had a very special guest. Later, Andrea joined Ruth, Coleen Nolan, Katie Piper and Kéllé Bryan for a chat.
