Andrea McLean, the former Loose Women host, has revealed she was ’embarrassed’ by her marriage to her second husband.
The daytime TV star, 52, has been married three times and has found happiness with hubby Nick Feeney.
But in an interview with The Sun Andrea admits she found it difficult to speak to friends about her ex while they were together.
