Former Loose Women<\/a> panelist Andrea McLean<\/a> 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”<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n

Andrea, 55, who was on the ITV<\/a> show from 2007 to 2020, announced in February that she had been hospitalised<\/a> due to severe pneumonia, acute kidney injury and sepsis<\/a> after having flu-like symptoms<\/a> in December. More recently, she told fans that she was “feeling really good” amid recovering.<\/p>\n

Amid her recovery following the experience, one of her business ventures came to an end. The business, once known as This Girl Is On Fire, was dissolved in February.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> has reported that she’s preparing to relocate to Spain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A source told the outlet: “It’s been a tough couple of years and the business never financially recovered. Andrea made the decision to dissolve the business officially earlier this year.”<\/p>\n

They added that she’s now preparing for a “new life” abroad with her husband Nick Feeney, whom she married in 2017. Andrea’s family also includes her two children from previous relationships.<\/p>\n

The source said that after her health issue she’s “focused on what really matters”, citing family and friends. They said: “She’s in a really good place, positive, loved up with Nick still, her kids are all grown up so she’s happy and making life work for her.”<\/p>\n

Andrea previously shared that her hospitalisation had made her re-evaluate her life. She said in an interview that was published in April: “There are rarely second chances in this life, so as I began to regain my strength I knew I had to seize the day and focus on what I really want to do.”<\/p>\n

She added: “I very nearly died.” Andrea continued at the time by saying: “That scary, horrible moment was a turning point, it has led to now and I am feeling really positive about where I am going.”<\/p>\n

The interview came after she shared the previous month that she had ended up in hospital after collapsing at home<\/a>. 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.”<\/p>\n

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<\/a> weeks later after she “fainted” at home, with her telling fans at the time that she had got out of bed “too fast”.<\/p>\n

More recently though, Andrea shared in March that she was “feeling really good”<\/a> 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.”<\/p>\n
