Loose Women star reveals she was ’24 hours from death’ as she opens up on terrifying hospital dash

LOOSE Women legend Andrea McLean has revealed she was just hours from death after battling a life-threatening illness.

The 55-year-old TV star made it to hospital in just enough time to overcome a bout of pneumonia and sepsis.

Andrea McLean nearly died from sepsis

She told the Mirror: “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.”;

Andrea collapsed to the floor in her bathroom prompting a desperate call to paramedics who had to stabilise her dangerously low blood pressure.

She continued: “Our bedroom is in the loft and they couldn’t get the stretcher around the tight bend, but eventually I managed to slide down the stairs, and was rushed to hospital. What happened over the next few weeks changed my life forever.”;
