The Loose Women has been open previously about her struggle to conceive after she was diagnosed with endometriosis aged 28.

Andrea said: “I ended up having fertility treatment to have Finlay.

“Usually having endometriosis stops you getting pregnant but if you do then it increases the chance of having a child naturally, which was what happened with my second, Amy.

She added: “So now I have two and I am very happy and very lucky.”

Messages of support poured in following Andrea's announcement.
