Andrea McLean

Loose Women anchor Andrea began her career as a freelance travel writer before moving to present the weather in the 1990s. She joined GMTV as a weather presenter in 1997, alongside familiar TV faces Ben Shephard and Eamonn Holmes.

She joined the panel in 2007 and has been with us ever since! Andrea also took part in Dancing on Ice in 2006 with professional Doug Webster but skated out of the show in the third week.

In 2018, she released her best-selling book, Confessions of a Menopausal Woman, and created an online community for women going through the menopause.

She's often spoken of her passion for Loose, describing it as "the only platform for women to air their opinions on news stories of the day, as well as bravely sharing details of their personal lives to women at home".
