Loose Women's Andrea McLean was supported by fans as she revealed she was bedridden for three days last week.
The 53-year-old is renowned for her role as a presenter on the ITV news programme. Andrea anchored the debates on the show for 13 years from 2007.
She walked away from her role in 2020 and keeps fans updated with her life after Loose Women on Instagram. She has taken to the social media platform to reveal she was suffering with exhaustion after a busy few days.

She said: "I went out with @nickfeeneycoach to support my lovely friend @brendaedwardsglobal on the one year anniversary of the passing of her son Jamal. It was a beautiful, poignant evening.
"Unfortunately, I ended up poorly in bed for three days afterwards. I had pushed myself at the gym that day, which was too much for my tired body. So, another episode of one step forward, three steps back. I am now awaiting blood tests to see why I have been poorly for so long now - it’s over three months of absolute exhaustion. The thinking is that it is Covid / autoimmune related. It’s a nuisance!"
Andrea revealed she had recovered in time for the end of the week as she enjoyed time with her parents. She added: "I was luckily well enough to get dressed up and take my mum out on Friday for a pamper day as a belated Christmas present. So nails done and to our local Ivy for a late lunch. It was really lovely.
"We went round to mum and dad's for another late lunch yesterday, with them and joint friends. It was lots of fun - and crossed three decades, we are in our 50s, our friends are in their 60s, mum and dad are in their 70s! How did that happen?"
Fans took to the comments to issue messages of support after the update.
Tessy said: "Glad this is being looked into now Andrea, get better soon"
Wendy added: "Wishing you a speedy recovery."
Gill commented: "Hoping you're feeling much better soon Andrea, look after yourself x"
Michelle posted: "Sorry you have been poorly my lovely"
