TV's Andrea was 'just 24 hours from death'
Scottish Daily Express
|April 03, 2025
FORMER Loose Women star Andrea McLean has revealed she was just 24 hours from death after a terrifying battle with pneumonia and sepsis.
The star, 55, feels she has been given a second chance at life, adding if she had not reached the hospital in time, she would not be here today.
She believes her harrowing ordeal last Christmas led her to "re-evaluate her entire life".
Andrea said: "I didn't realise how severe my illness was at the time. The doctors had told my husband, Nick, that had we waited another 24 hours to call for help, I may not be here."
The scary experience began the day after Boxing Day, following a persistent bout of flu.
