340: Debt, sex and shame with Andrea McLean

On this episode we have a rollercoaster of a conversation with TV legend Andrea McLean. We cover everything from the menopause to money problems, losing your home to losing your libido and more. 

Andrea tells us about her latest book, Shameless, which is out now. She discusses leaving her job as a presenter on Loose Women to build her own business, and what happened when it all went wrong. We find out how she managed to shed the shame and why she decided to tell the world all about it. 

There's some menopause chat - we compare our fave HRT medications, and Helen shares a sexy tip for anyone on testosterone. Andrea has some tips for how to tackle difficult conversations around sex drive. 

This episode's Scummy Mummy Confessions involve lying to Ellie's Dad, some questionable smoked salmon and a flotation tank.
