Real life of This Morning's Josie Gibson - Big Brother win, devastating split, Eamonn Holmes advice, weight loss journey and surgery

It's hard to believe that it's been 13 years since Josie Gibson first appeared on our screens in popular reality show Big Brother. The Bristol-native won the hearts of viewers which was made clear when she crowned the winner of the 11th series with a whopping 77.5 percent of the public vote; the highest percentage out of any other Big Brother series.

She followed this up with an appearance on Ultimate Big Brother the following year in 2011, but left the house after just three days. However, that hasn't stopped her going on to become a household name as she used her newfound platform to turn to presenting, starting by being a regular guest host on the Channel 5 magazine series OK! TV.

But it wasn't until 2021 that Josie landed the biggest job of her career when she became a regular host on This Morning, three years after she joined the ITV daytime show as a regular segment presenter like her now pal Alison Hammond did when she joined the programme more than 20 years ago.
