After leaving the panel around 15 months ago, Andrea McLean returned to Loose Women this week as a guest. Andrea was one of the anchors on the popular ITV daytime panel show for 13 years, but announced to viewers in November 2020 that she would be leaving.
A month later, in December 2020, Andrea appeared on Loose Women as a panellist for the final time. But this week, she came back as a 'very special guest', to sit on the panel alongside Ruth Langsford, Coleen Nolan, Kéllé Bryan and Katie Piper.
Making her return to the show for the first time in over a year, Andrea commented: "It feels really nice actually being a passenger on the bus and not the driver." She also said that returning was 'a bit out of body', the Manchester Evening News reports.
