This is the last conversation in this series and what a way to finish! I loved this when I first recorded it but when I listened to it back, I learnt even more. Andrea is even more open and honest in this second half. She talks about how appearing on a reality show changed everything for her. How she made her decision to leave a huge, high profile job like the host of Loose Women and what happened the day she announced it on air. (Spoiler alert… everything she’d been planning fell apart.)
