Andrea McLean reveals she slept with her husband Nick Feeney on their first date

Andrea McLean has confessed to sleeping with her husband Nick Feeney on their first date together.

The Loose Women star, 52, admitted she was “not interested” in finding love when she went on a blind date with Nick, and after getting “very drunk” the pair ended up spending the night together.

Andrea, who married Nick in 2017, also confessed that she’s only slept with four different men in her life, so it was “a big deal” for her to spend the night with him on their first date.

Speak with The sunAndrea revealed that she and Nick were set up on their date in 2014 by a Loose Women makeup artist.

She said: “Neither of us wanted to be there. We didn’t care if the date went well or not, because we weren’t interested, and we weren’t looking for anything serious.’

Andrea added that Nick had no idea who she was when the date started, and he only realized it when she was approached by a bachelorette party and asked for a photo.

She added: “I got very drunk and told him all about myself. We kissed and I went home with him, something I’d never done in all my life.’

Andrea also confessed that in addition to her three husbands, she’s only slept with one other person in total, adding: “My numbers aren’t very high, so it’s quite a bit that I did. I thought, ‘Why not? He seems nice”.

Andrea first revealed that she was living with Nick live on Loose Women in 2016, and just a year later, the couple tied the knot.

The former GMTV star was previously married to BBC producer Nick Green from 2000 to 2005, and they share son Finley, 20.

She then tied the knot with Our House host Steve Toms in 2009, but they split just two years later.

Andrea, who has now launched a lifestyle app titled This Girl Is On Fire with her husband Nick, decided to leave the Loose Women panel in 2020 to focus on her business ventures.

The star has previously admitted that after leaving the show, she lost several lucrative brand deals and even had to sell her Surrey home to fund her new business ventures.

But now her app, which targets women in the menopause, is booming, with hundreds of members.

Andrea previously admitted that leaving Loose Women felt like a financial ‘kick in the stomach’ and forced her to live on her savings for the next eight months.

Speaking on the Secure the Uncertain with Johnny Seifert podcast, the journalist said she had relied on her side hustle as her family’s main breadwinner while working on her memoir and mindset membership app, both titled This Girl Is On Fire.

She confessed: “When I made the announcement that I was leaving TV to follow my heart and dreams, going all in on This Girl Is On Fire, we obviously put a lot of planning into this moment because it’s clearly a huge jump.

“I was the breadwinner and this was the job that paid the bills, but everyone on TV does work too.

The host revealed that she and her husband Nick Feeney have spoken in depth about the logistics of her massive career change.

She said, “Before I wrote This Girl’s On Fire, I had enough company work to do to keep the money coming in, so it was a calculated decision.

“The day I announced I was leaving, every brand dropped me… so I was like, ‘Okay, I knew there was so much money coming in and so much work that will get me through the next six to eight months, “It disappeared overnight.

‘It’s so important to move away from TV. It was financially like a punch in the stomach, my safety net was gone. I was like, “Oh my god, I only have my savings. I can’t turn back and change my mind. I don’t have an upper income.”

“Nobody cares about you, they care about what you represent and I had just left a prominent job.”

“I just thought, ‘I’m okay with that because these brands don’t value me or my worth, but what I’m going to do is a lot more powerful than me working on a TV show.”

“These brands, and I won’t say who they were, were all meant to educate women, to make us feel good, but really they didn’t care, just my profile.

“I care passionately about making people feel good. I realized they had missed something and it took a lot of balls to see that as my bank balance went one way and it went down.”

When asked about a possible return to her former job, she said, “To me it would be no, but not in a ‘Oh my god no’ way.”

When she announced her plans to leave Loose Women in November 2020, Andrea burst into tears and also shared how her departure was also linked to her nervous breakdown.

Andrea explains: ‘Like so many people, this has been a time of tremendous reflection and reflection. So many people have talked about not being able to wait for life to return to normal. I did that, like many people, and thought, ‘Do I want my life to go back to the way it was?’

She told viewers: ‘Last year I had a nervous breakdown and this year the world has had a breakdown. This year I have been very strong mentally to handle everything that the pandemic has brought us.

‘You get one life, do you live it the way you want? Are you brave? Do you do what you want?’

Andrea got emotional and added: “I didn’t think I was going to cry. I told you ladies just before we got airborne. I’m going to leave Loose Women because I want to be brave…

“I want to bring to life all the incredible feedback I’ve received on my book and the support I’ve been able to give them. It was a very, very big decision to jump and see if I fall or fly. And I just thought, I’ll never know unless I try, so I say goodbye to Loose Women.’
