Josie Gibson has come a long way since her first television moment on Big Brother 12 years ago. The Bristol-born star, who is now a regular host on ITV's This Morning, has said she's "proud" to represent the city and indeed the entire region.
In a recent interview with the Huffington Post, the 37-year-old joked that she didn't realise how strong her accent was until she went to London. "I’m so proud to represent not only Bristol, but the south west. Loads of people say, ‘Oh well done for raising the Bristol flag!’ People are so supportive, aren’t they?" she said.
She added: “It’s weird because when I was [living] in London, I honed into anyone from the south west – it’s like a little weird connection that we’ve all got."
