Andrea McLean, a former Loose Women panelist, previously said she had rethought her life after a near-death experience, and that she now plans to relocate abroad.
Former Loose Women panelist Andrea McLean is said to be planning a new life abroad. The speculation comes just months on from her teasing that she would “seize the day” moving forward after having “nearly died” last year.
Andrea, 55, who was on the ITV show from 2007 to 2020, announced in February that she had been hospitalised due to severe pneumonia, acute kidney injury and sepsis after having flu-like symptoms in December. More recently, she told fans that she was “feeling really good” amid recovering.
One of her business ventures ended as a result of her recovery from the incident. The company, which was formerly known as This Girl Is On Fire, ended in February.
Andrea, who launched lifestyle and wellness brand This Girl Is On Fire after leaving Loose Women, is now said to be focusing on her writing career as she seeks a fresh start. The Sun has reported that she’s preparing to relocate to Spain.
The business never financially recovered from what a source told the outlet. Early this year, Andrea made the official decision to dissolve the company.
She added that she is currently getting ready for a “new life” abroad with her husband, Nick Feeney, who she married in 2017. Her two children from previous relationships are also included in Andrea’s family.
According to the source, she is “focused on what really matters,” citing family and friends, despite her health condition. She is “in a really good place, positive, loved up with Nick,” they said, “she’s making life work for her because her kids are all grown up.”
Andrea previously stated that she had to reevaluate her life as a result of her hospitalization. In an interview that was released in April, she said, “I knew I had to seize the day and concentrate on what I really want to do. There are rarely second chances in this life.”
She continued, “I’m on the verge of passing away.” At the time, Andrea continued, “That terrifying, horrible moment was a turning point, and I’m feeling really optimistic about where I’m going.”
The interview came after she shared the previous month that she had ended up in hospital after collapsing at home. She later said: “I didn’t realise how severe my illness was at the time. But the doctors had told my husband, Nick, that had I not got to hospital when I did, had we waited another 24 hours to call for help, I may not be here now.”
Andrea, who revealed that she was diagnosed with pneumonia and sepsis, said that she was in and out of hospital throughout January. It was later announced that she had been back weeks later after she “fainted” at home, with her telling fans at the time that she had got out of bed “too fast”.
More recently though, Andrea shared in March that she was “feeling really good” amid recovering from the experiences. She said: “It has been quite a long recovery process but I’ve slowed down my pace of life and I’m feeling really good.”
