They’ve been married less than three years, but Andrea McLean and Nick Feeney have already battled through their fair share of challenges. Speaking to OK! in an exclusive interview, the couple reveal why they decided to seek marriage counselling after Andrea went through a breakdown last year.
While the Loose Women favourite was her usual upbeat self on the programme, she was secretly suffering from depression.
Only her husband was aware of the situation. “I wanted to go to counselling before our relationship got bad,” Nick, 47, explains.
The couple had three sessions so that he could better understand what Andrea was going through.
“The biggest compliment for Nick is that I felt safe enough to fall with him,” Andrea, 50, tells us.
The couple are currently isolating in Surrey with Andrea’s children, Finlay, 18, and Amy, 13, from previous marriages, while Nick’s daughters, Tia-Lily, 17, and Sienna, 15, have been spending some time at the house. Along with their Cavapoo dog Teddy, it makes their household very busy, but they still had time to pose for some photos in their garden.
Here, the pair chat about their joint business venture and why they’re sure they’ll be together for ever…
Andrea, when did you realise you needed help?
