Andrea was a regular on the Loose Women panel from 2007 until 2020 and has made guest appearances on the ITV show since.
Now, the TV personality has a brand new book, Shameless, coming out and set to hit shelves next week.
The new release features glowing reviews and plugs from fellow celebrities and friends, including Andrea’s former co-star Denise.
On the back cover, Denise’s review can be seen as she dubs it “impossible to put down” while lauding the memoir.

But after reading the review, Melanie had some gossip to get off of her chest.
Hitting out at Denise, Melanie accused her of being two-faced towards Andrea during their time on Loose Women.
“Huge plug Denise Welch has given for Andrea’s new book,” began Melanie in a new tweet.
“Quite a surprise tho as Denise, Nadia & most of the OG cast, referred to her as ‘BLANDREA’ behind her back at #LooseWomen for decades – ‘as was so boring’.
“But suddenly her life & careers a mess & she’s ‘unputdownable’.“
Melanie is thought to also be referring to Nadia Sawalha, who she previously represented as a client.
Continuing to blast the Loose Women, she then said in another post: “And btw, 15 years of mobile phones and emails saved should save the bother of any dispute on my musing – everyone at itv knows that’s true (possibly not Andrea since she’s got her on her back cover)
“So trust me when I say – #BLANDREA – was the mean girl nick name for her. “
Denise then got involved herself as she responded to Melanie’s claims.
She replied in a tweet: “Well. Can’t wait for your no holds barred ‘autobiography’. Very confused as to how that’s going to fly!!”
Melanie then replied with a heated and lengthy reply, which pointed out that Denise didn’t deny the nickname for Andrea.
The pair exchanged several tweets, with Denise resorting to telling Melanie to “get help” before simply replying with a single emoji.
