Josie Gibson’s love life - Big Brother romance to This Morning cameraman lover rumours

This Morning star Josie Gibson has experienced rollercoaster relationships over the years and recently revealed she isn't dating anymore.

The TV personality, who rose to fame on Big Brother, has been putting all her focus on her four-year-old son Reggie - who she shares with ex-Terry.

Josie has been single since breaking up with her on-again-off-again ex.

She has opened up about her love life as well as life as a single mother during her television appearance.

She most recently revealed the real reason she chose to stop dating.

"Judi, where would I fit them in because I'm either at work or I'm looking after my little boy?" she told Judi Love on Loose Women

"The thing is, I'm only doing it one time. So if I date somebody, that's time I'm taking away from my little boy and I want to spend as much time as humanely possible with him."

Here, we take a look at Josie's past relationships...

Fake Relationship

Earlier this year, Josie sparked relationship rumours when she went on holiday with a 'mystery man'.

The presenter shared a few pictures of her and a man during a trip to Paris but it wasn't as it seemed.

She later revealed he was This Morning cameraman Sam Morter, whom she worked with.

One picture showed the two looking happy as they held hands in front of the Eiffel Tower.

Alison Hammond called them a beautiful couple, with other stars leaving heart emojis in the comment section.

Josie finally came clean and said: "This has got out of hand.... I'm still single.....I couldn't pull a cracker."

Sam added: "Okay, I think the joke went too far, Josie!"

On-Off Relationship

The TV personality shares her four-year-old son Reggie-James with her ex-boyfriend Terry - with who she split back in 2019.

Josie and Terry had known each other for over 20 years but the two split five months after welcoming Reggie into the world.

The Big Brother star said at the time that he kicked her out of his house just before New Year's Eve in 2018 after an explosive row about his OCD battle.

She gave birth to their son, Reggie-James, in September of that year and said their relationship problems began to worsen soon after.

At the beginning of the coronavirus lockdown in early 2020, Terry opted to move in with Josie.

Josie explained that she didn't want to risk taking Reggie to the supermarket, so picked up the phone and told Terry he should move in with them.

However, once restrictions began easing again, her ex decided to pack up his bags and leave.

The star said: "He's [Terry] moved out now. I'm choosing to do it on my own for a little bit at the moment."

She has been single ever since their final split.

Big Brother

Josie famously competed in Channel 4's Big Brother in 2010 before going on to become a household name.

During her time on the series, she got into a relationship with housemate Australian John James Parton.

After leaving Big Brother, the duo confirmed they were dating but their relationship was short-lived as they split a year later.

"We spent every minute of the day with each other in the Big Brother house and moved in straight away after leaving the show. We didn’t want to be apart," she told The Daily Star at the time.

"But the honeymoon period was over. We argued all the time. John wanted me to stop weeing with the toilet door open and I wanted him to stop moaning and to see things from my point of view."

Five years later, the two ended up on Big Brother’s Bit On The Side panel at the same time. Awkward!

Ex-Fiancé

The This Morning star and Luke Sanwo, a plumber, got engaged in early 2012 before splitting on April 15.

Josie and Luke only dated for six months before he got down on one knee.

After their split, Josie said: "The passion is slowly drifting and now it's virtually non-existent. I feel like it's the right thing to do at the moment."

They had a rocky relationship and even exchanged bitter tweets about each other on social media.

In 2017, after sharing screengrabs of the e-mail he reportedly sent her, she hit back at him on her official Twitter page.

"Yes you are going to regret this because you had a gf when you sent this message. Pay me back the money I lent you. #snake," she said.
