This Morning host Josie Gibson ‘in talks to star in I’m A Celebrity’ | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV
This Morning host Josie Gibson is reportedly in talks to take part in the latest series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! for a rumoured £100,000. The 38-year-old is a hit with viewers of the daytime show, and ITV bosses believe she could be very popular Down Under.
Josie joined Holly Willoughby on Monday (June 5) when she returned to the sofa for the first time since Phillip Schofield’s controversial exit from This Morning.
The single mum rose to fame when she won reality show Big Brother in 2010.
She became This Morning’s competitions announcer in 2019 before graduating to fill-in presenter a couple of years later.
The Bristol local is now tipped to become Holly’s regular co-presenter and could also be set for a stint in the jungle.

A TV source told The Sun: “I’m A Celeb producers have begun negotiations with Josie’s team to try and lure her with a £100,000 contract. Talks are at an advanced stage.
“Josie has been a fan of the series for many years and is interested and looking at the bigger picture of her TV career.
“The stint could propel her into the mainstream and land her bigger gigs.”
Josie confessed last year that she would struggle with the challenges of a Bushtucker Trial, saying: “I’m a bit of a weakling.”
The next series is due to start in November.
“Any names suggested for I’m A Celebrity are speculation,” ITV said.
