Josie Gibson can’t wait for the latest series of I’m A Celebrity to return to her evening routine – and she’s already picked her favourite campmates. The This Morning regular, 39, finished fourth on the ITV show last year and while she fully admits she wouldn’t have signed up if she knew just how hard it would be, it’s still one of her favourite programmes.
“I have a real spider phobia – which I probably should’ve sorted before I went in! I’d have enjoyed my time more if I hadn’t been so scared of them,” she laughs, as she chats exclusively to new about all things jungle, work and motherhood.
Hi, Josie! You’re a bit like the Bridget Jones of This Morning now… Ha, I actually find that a real honour! I really believe the only thing you‘re taking with you from this life are your memories, experiences and connections. So, if I’ve had a laugh and brightened up someone’s morning, I’m winning at life. I’ve experienced things I’ve only ever dreamed of and I’m so thankful to This Morning for that, even if I am their Bridget Jones! They did try and make me jump out of a plane once but I said no, I was terrified.
