Loose Women star Andrea McLean says she ‘lost everything’ after leaving ITV show: ‘I tried to get a job in Starbucks’

Andrea McLean has revealed that she was forced to sell her engagement rings on Vinted and apply for a job in Starbucks after “losing everything” following her Loose Women exit.

The TV presenter, 56, chose to leave the ITV show to focus on her lifestyle brand in 2020 – however, she ultimately lost her home and hundreds of thousands in life savings during the pandemic. She also faced a series of health crises that left her unable to work, having been diagnosed with severe pneumonia, acute kidney injury and sepsis after collapsing at home.
