Andrea McLean, who fronted ITV's Loose Women until 2020, has told how she was taken to hospital after collapsing at home and then being diagnosed with severe pneumonia
Loose Women legend Andrea McLean was rushed to hospital after her husband found her collapsed in the bathroom in a terrifying start to the year.
Speaking about the incident in a candid Instagram post, Andrea recounted how she "collapsed in the bathroom" and "lay there for an hour before my husband found me." Andrea continued: "I can't remember much about AandE other than it was thorough. Questions, scans, lots of needles, and possibly the most painful insertion of a catheter ever experienced. Then my X-ray and CT scans came back. I had severe pneumonia, Acute Kidney Injury and sepsis. Things happened quickly; drips, super-strong antibiotics via IV and orally, and I was transferred to the Emergency Assessment Ward.
Even though Andrea has been discharged, her recovery continues to affect daily life, admitting she is "still not well enough to handle normal stuff".
