Position: Host on the morning show "This Morning"

Josie Gibson became well-known after emerging as the victor of the 11th edition of Big Brother back in 2010.

In the next year, Gibson started appearing frequently as a guest host on OK! TV which is broadcasted on Channel 5. Furthermore, he kept himself busy with his various television projects.

She has worked on several television series in addition to her current project. These include serving as a journalist on a program called "Big Brother's Bit On The Side" from August to November in 2011, being involved in "Celebrity Wedding Planner," appearing on "Loose Women," and participating in "The Wright Stuff."

Gibson started working for This Morning in 2019, where she announced competitions and eventually became a presenter on the show. After Phillip Schofield left, she started co-hosting with Holly Willoughby.

Fears: "Bugs. Whenever I lay my eyes on a spider, I become motionless and uncertain towards my reaction if I ever come across them in a challenge!"

One of the main misunderstandings I wish to clear up about myself in the wilderness is that I possess a great deal of intelligence regarding trivial knowledge!

My strongest qualities include being a positive thinker and enjoying the company of people from diverse backgrounds. On the other hand, I admit that I have a tendency to be overly curious about others' business and I become concerned about my patience levels when hunger strikes.

My ideal travel companion in a camper would be Dawn French, as I am a huge fan of hers.

Josie Gibson's Take On Joining I'm A Celeb 2023

Gibson is starting to comprehend the concept of I'm a Celebrity as it draws near.

Before the show started, she exclaimed: "Oh my goodness, I'm really doing this!" Even though I've tackled tough assignments for This Morning before, I'm not sure if I've bitten off more than I can chew with this one. The reality of it all is starting to sink in."

The presenter on TV acknowledged that she really fears insects since it is the thing that scares her the most.

"I'm not a fan of spiders either, and when I come across one, I usually freeze," she expressed. She also added, "My family thinks I'm crazy for participating in this program, given that they're aware of how scared I am of creepy crawlies!"

Although it might seem strange why she agreed to participate in the show despite having several phobias, Gibson explained that her fondness for the program is what led her to accept the invitation to join.

"I'm really excited to connect with the natural world," she noted. "Furthermore, I'm hoping to discover new aspects of myself and challenge my limits. When it comes to eating challenges, I'll have to summon all my strength and shut my eyes to ignore what I'm consuming. Similarly, heights aren't my favorite thing. In truth, there are quite a few obstacles in the jungle that I'm not fond of, but I'm determined to try everything."

Gibson is excited about getting acquainted with the celebrities in the camp, some of whom she wouldn't typically cross paths with.

She expressed her fondness for listening to individuals sharing their stories. She hopes that others wouldn't perceive her as intrusive, yet she enjoys conversing with them to acquaint herself with their background. She cherishes individuals from diverse backgrounds.

I reckon I won't feel dull if I'm surrounded by a big group, such as in camp. We can have a good time together. It'll be a welcome change to be stationary since I'm always on the go.

Regarding the possibility of being declared the Jungle Queen, Gibson stated that her primary objective is to score as many stars as possible for her team.

The reality TV show, "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!" is scheduled to begin airing on ITV1 and ITVX at 9pm on Sunday 19th November.
