Overview

  • McLean sold her Surrey home to fund her female empowerment venture, This Girl Is On Fire, which was officially dissolved in February after struggling to generate sustainable revenue.
  • In December she was hospitalised with severe pneumonia, acute kidney injury and sepsis, and doctors warned she had just 24 hours to live without treatment.
  • Her recovery included a wellness retreat in Turkey by May and a gradual rehabilitation that reshaped her personal priorities.
  • The 55-year-old author has published three bestsellers and now plans to concentrate exclusively on her writing career.
  • She and husband Nick Feeney will relocate to Spain this summer to prioritise family, well-being and her next creative chapter.
