Andrea McLean is SHAMELESS.
'What if I fall? What if I fly?' When Andrea McLean said this to millions of people when quitting her high-profile TV job she didn't know she'd soon fall flat on her face in front of them too.
Leaving her role as the longest-serving host on the award-winning Loose Women to follow her dreams, Andrea soon learnt that failure happens to the best of us - and when it arrives, shame won't be far behind. But it doesn't have to define us.
In this unflinchingly honest and brilliantly enlightening book, Andrea lays everything bare, from financial ruin and broken marriages to cancel culture and toxic TV. Tracing the collapse of her business, she confesses the failures that once filled her with stomach-clenching shame and the lessons they have taught her about finding the resilience to get up again.
Shameless is your guide to breaking free from shame and finding the courage to keep going through life's toughest moments.
