This Morning presenter Josie Gibson reveals she underwent a brachioplasty to treat lipoedema and discusses her recovery, alternative therapies, and her new ITV series celebrating the food and traditions of the West Country.
Josie Gibson , known for her vibrant personality, recently underwent a brachioplasty to address lipoedema, a condition causing abnormal fat build-up in the arms and legs.
Despite the surgery, her positive spirit remains undeterred. She previously underwent liposuction on her calves last September after consulting with four specialists, costing £7,000. Currently in recovery, Josie is embracing alternative therapies, awaiting delivery of a hyperbaric oxygen chamber for three months of treatment and a copper meditation pyramid for her garden near Bath. The oxygen chamber aims to boost blood oxygen levels, while the pyramid is believed to enhance energy.
Josie playfully describes her request for the copper pyramid, highlighting her interest in grounding and energy harvesting, and its healing properties. Beyond her health journey, Josie’s connection to her West Country roots is a defining aspect of her life. This is reflected in her new ITV series, 'Josie’s Taste Of The West Country,' which celebrates the region’s food and traditions.
Her authenticity, a blend of warmth, vulnerability, and humour, has resonated with audiences since her win on Big Brother and continued on 'I’m A Celebrity,' where she finished fourth in 2023. She has since become a popular presenter on 'This Morning.
' However, Josie emphasizes that her most important role is that of a mother to her son, Reggie, born in 2018. She co-parents with his father, Terry Bond, and manages the challenges of balancing work and motherhood without a nanny, often relying on family and friends. Her upbringing, as one of six children raised by a single mother, instilled in her a sense of resourcefulness and a love for simple joys.
'Josie’s Taste Of The West Country' takes viewers on a culinary journey through Gloucestershire, Somerset, Dorset, Devon, and Cornwall. She explores local delicacies like Stinking Bishop cheese in Gloucestershire, world-class oysters in Porlock Bay, Somerset, and award-winning cider at Harry’s Cider Company in Langport. The series also showcases hidden gems like a natural spring near Dorchester, Dorset, providing exceptionally pure water.
Josie expresses her surprise at the wealth of experiences available in her home region and her long-held desire to create this series. Her deep connection to the West Country, starting from Junction 16 on the M4, fuels her passion for sharing its unique charm and flavours with viewers. The show highlights the beauty and richness of the region, from its food and drink to its natural wonders
