Loose Women star Andrea McClean was rushed to hospital after being found collapsed at home by her husband. 

The presenter, 55, took to Instagram to share that she suffered a terrifying health ordeal at the end of last year.   

‘I didn’t see THAT coming…,’ she wrote as she attached a stock picture of an unwell dog. ‘How I discovered riding in an ambulance isn’t as much fun as you’d think.’

Andrea explained that in December she came down with the flu, but things got progressively worse. 

‘I collapsed in the bathroom, and like the adverts you see on telly with the elderly, I lay there for an hour before my husband found me,’ she said. 

‘We rang the GP who told us to call 999 immediately. The ambulance team were amazing. My blood pressure was so low I couldn’t stand, and I was in a lot of pain.’

She added: ‘Then my X-ray and CT scans came back. I had severe pneumonia, Acute Kidney Injury and sepsis. 

‘Things happened quickly; drips, super-strong antibiotics via IV and orally, and I was transferred to the Emergency Assessment Ward.
