This Morning’s Josie Gibson, a familiar face to fans of the daytime show, is set to bring her winning spirit to the jungle. The Big Brother 2010 winner expressed her main goal as pushing herself to win as many stars as possible for her fellow campmates. She won over the public in 2010 and could’ve even won Ultimate Big Brother if she hadn’t left, can she claim another crowning? Her phobias include insects and spiders.
“I am most looking forward to being at one with nature,” she adds. “And I hope I learn new things about myself. I hope I can push myself more than I think I can. Eating trials? I have got to try and close my eyes and not think about what it is I am eating. Heights? I don’t like heights either. To be fair, I am not liking a lot of things that the jungle throws at you but I want to give it all a go.”
