After a week that’s seen her open up about the death of her beloved dog and undergo an unusual therapy session live on Loose Women, it’s understandable that Andrea McLean may want to relax and enjoy some downtime over the weekend. However, the mum-of-two was faced with another challenge after the boiler broke at her family home, causing her and husband Nick Feeney to retreat to bed for an entire day.
Andrea shared the news with fans in an Instagram video, admitting she had the "Sunday morning blues" as her house was so cold. The clip showed her sitting in bed eating cereal alongside her husband, who had resorted to wrapping up under the duvet with a hoodie on as the temperature in the house had dropped so much.

During a segment called Puppy Love, Andrea broke down in tears as she revealed that her beloved dog Jackson had died a few weeks ago. She said: "I can't believe it, my dog Jackson died. Gosh, I didn’t think I would get upset. It happened a couple of weeks ago. He was a huge part of our life. A dog is a member of your family." Andrea then went on to talk about the impact Jackson had on her life, and how he had been "the man in my life."

On introducing her dog to husband Nick, Andrea explained that it had been a big deal. She said: "I was with Jackson longer than my ex-husband. Draw your conclusions! When he [Nick] first came to the door, I was like, I hope they get on." She continued: "Literally, when Nick came in through the door, time stopped and heart eyes came out of Jackson's eyes. Barry White music played. He fell in love with him, Jackson followed Nick around. He died in Nick's arms."
