Josie Gibson won Big Brother but she's not sure I’m A Celebrity will be so easy.
This Morning, Josie, 38, admits she was the "laziest housemate" when she won BB in 2011 and spent most her time eating cheese and avocado sandwiches and lounging around on comfy sofas. On the ITV show, she'll have a camp bed outdoors and will be mostly eating rice and beans. “I’m hoping it will be like a TV studio,” confides Josie.
“But whenever I’ve spoken to people, they’re like, ‘Get that out of your head, it’s the actual jungle!’” Josie’s family were stunned when she told them she’d been booked for I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! which starts on Sunday, November 19 at 9pm, ITV1. “My family are worried,” she laughs.
“I’m crap with any creepy crawlies or spiders. Even the thought of it, urgh! It sounded like a good idea at the time, but then reality sets in and you think, ‘Wow, what have I done?’” To get through the Bushtucker Trials, Josie is relying on adrenaline and her favourite Fleetwood Mac song. “You know that song, Everywhere?” she asks as she hums the chorus.
“I’ve got to have that song in my head when I’m doing the trials – that’s like a meditation for me. Hopefully it will get me through it.” Speaking about her Big Brother experience, Josie says. she has no idea how she was crowned the winner.
“It was an absolute doddle,” she laughs. “But I was terrible at the tasks in there. I don’t know how I won that show because I must have been the laziest housemate ever.
