Loose Women’s Andrea McLean joined other women to run more than six miles in underwear to promote body confidence.

The presenter was part of the Celebrate You team taking part in the Vitality London 10,000, which started on The Mall and finished opposite Buckingham Palace.

The team also included plus size model and mental health campaigner Jada Sezer, who completed the 2018 Virgin Money London Marathon in underwear alongside her friend, journalist Bryony Gordon.

The group completed the 10km (6.2-mile) run in sports underwear to show that fitness is for everyone, whatever their shape.

Before she got started, McLean posted a video on her Instagram Story saying she was “quite nervous” about both the race and wearing her underwear.

“I’ve never done anything like this before, I’ve never done a race before,” she said.

“I feel like a little kid.”

“There’s going to be all these normal people there and then I’m going to take my clothes off and stand there in my pants,” she added.
