She left the panel show two years ago.

The former TV presenter – who now focuses on her website This Girl Is On Fire as well as her writing career – shared how she messages Brenda Edwards, Denise Welch, Linda Robson and Saira Khan.
Real talk: Andrea McLean, 53, has revealed she’s ‘rubbish’ when it comes to staying in touch with her former Loose Women co-stars and admitted she was ‘nervous’ about the daytime programme to leave
Andrea told The Sun: “I keep in touch with some of the Loose Women ladies as I can only speak to some when I’ve been there – but not very much.
“Mostly because I’m busy, working and doing my thing. Brenda and I write, Denise, Linda Robson, Saira.
“I was rubbish to keep in touch when I was there and I’m just as rubbish now.
‘But what’s nice, it doesn’t matter, because with your real friends, it doesn’t matter if you haven’t seen each other for years.’

Elsewhere, Andrea confessed she was nervous about leaving Loose Women because she’d been doing the job for a long time and it had become her “identity.”
The entrepreneur explained how she sat down and acknowledged that she’s more than just her job title and above all, she wants to help people.
Andrea insisted that she would urge anyone who is unsure about making a change to sit down and write a “what if everything goes wrong” list and turn it into a “what if everything goes right going” list.
No big deal: “But what’s beautiful doesn’t matter, because with your real friends, it doesn’t matter if you haven’t seen each other for years.”
Back in April, Andrea revealed that she was dropped from all of her brand deals on the very day she announced her departure from Loose Women.
The TV personality admitted the shock train felt like a financial “punch in the stomach,” forcing her to live on her life savings for the next eight months.
She vowed never to return to her former role on the daytime show, having been a panel member for 13 years but insisting she takes pride in “walking with grace”.
