Andrea Mclean says third marriage to Nick Feeney will stick

Andrea McLean says she was shamed for marrying a third time, but her marriage to Nick Feeney has outlasted the collapse that stripped her of her home, pension and savings. The former Loose Women host said, "This one is going to stick," about the husband she married in 2017.

Nick Feeney Since 2017

McLean, 56, has been married to Feeney since 2017, after earlier marriages to Nick Green from 2000 to 2005 and Steve Toms from 2009 to 2012. She said, "When I met my husband now, who is the current longest serving Mr McLean, I was done."

That line carries more weight because McLean is talking about a relationship that survived her financial collapse, not a polished celebrity marriage story. She also said, "We're still together throughout it all," and described Feeney as her best friend.

Loose Women Exit In 2020

McLean announced live on air in November 2020 that she was leaving Loose Women after 13 years on the show. The exit came after she had already moved beyond daytime television into a wellness, retail and life-coaching platform called This Girl is on Fire, and that business later failed catastrophically.

She said the collapse pushed her into debt to a tune of hundreds of thousands, forced her to sell her £1m Surrey home and move into rented accommodation, and left her maxing out credit cards. She also said she was selling furniture to pay for groceries, with bailiffs at the door and a meeting with investors in which they told her that her "star had faded".

Financial Ruin And Job Searches

McLean said, "My personal experience right now is of excruciating shame, as a result of financial ruin," and added, "I lost my home, my pension, all my savings." She said she applied for jobs in coffee shops, clothes shops and office work on Indeed, and did not even get a response.

That leaves her story in an unusual place: a public figure known for a long television run is now describing ordinary job searches, debt and reduced circumstances alongside a marriage she says has only tightened under pressure. She and Feeney sound less like a comeback narrative than a couple that has already survived the worst part of it.
