“I’m just handing over my bar but I’ll be back for my chardonnay, that’s all I’m saying.”
As Andrea giggled she became tearful before saying: “Oh ladies, that’s it from me. Bye!”
Throughout her final show, where Coleen Nolan revealed Andrea was the “longest-serving Loose Woman in the show's history” after 1,409 episodes, Andrea was treated to many surprises including the performance from Brenda Edwards, a special Loose Women cake and gifts.
Andrea was also surprised with video messages from celebrity friends throughout the show including Piers Morgan, Lorraine Kelly, Holly Willoughby and Joey Essex, who took pie in the face as a good-bye to the presenter.
Andrea, who recently opened up on having marriage counselling with husband Nick, will surely be missed as Loose Women fans took to Twitter to wish her well.
