McAndrew was educated at Wycombe Abbey School, an independent school for girls in the town of High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, followed by the Cambridge Centre for Sixth-form Studies, where she completed her A Level studies in English, Politics (with Professor Ian Swinburn) and the History of Art.
At the age of 19, McAndrew worked as a researcher in the House of Commons, transferring to The House Magazine which she went on to edit between 1995 and 1997 before becoming a freelance political journalist in the House of Commons Press Gallery. In November 1999, McAndrew became a press secretary to the Liberal Democrat Leader, Charles Kennedy.
After the 2001 general election, McAndrew decided to develop a career in broadcasting, making regular contributions across television and radio and presenting Channel 4's lunchtime political programme, Powerhouse.
McAndrew came to national prominence as a BBC News presenter, under her maiden name Daisy Sampson, co-hosting weekday lunchtime show The Daily Politics with Andrew Neil and presenting Yesterday in Parliament on BBC Breakfast.
