Loose Women star Andrea McLean was rushed to hospital in an ambulance after her husband found her collapsed in the bathroom.
The 55-year-old TV star detailed her scary hospital experience at the start of the year as she recounted being diagnosed with ‘severe pneumonia, Acute Kidney Injury and sepsis’, a life-threatening condition.
In a candid new post, she said that she has been suffering from flu-like symptoms for a week including ‘sweating and shivering, with a raging temperature and chills’, ‘pain in my chest and back’ and brown wee before she collapsed in her bathroom.
He husband, Nick Feeney, found her an hour later and rang the GP who advised them ‘to call 999 immediately’.
McLean continued in her Subtack blog that she was ‘in a lot of pain’ and ‘couldn’t stand’ due to low blood pressure.
She recalled that after a ‘challenging’ attempt to get her out on a stretcher she could ‘say with confidence that travelling in the back of an ambulance isn’t as much fun as you think it would be.’

Then continued: ‘I can’t remember much about A&E other than it was thorough. Questions, scans, lots of needles, and possibly the most painful insertion of a catheter ever experienced.’
She remained in Emergency Assessment Ward hooked to antibiotics for two days and two nights ‘in almost constant pain, with sensory overload with the screams, shouting and sound and smell of poo from people losing control of their bowels.’
The regular Loose Women panelist later detailed the unpleasant experiences she underwent in a new ward she was transferred to with other women.
