The beloved broadcaster – who has teamed up with on their campaign – first soared to stardom when she won the 11th series of Big Brother back in 2010.
The TV presenter won over the hearts of the nation on the Channel 4 reality show, and quickly became a staple on the small screen with her regular fitness routines after she dropped six stone in one year.
In 2019, she joined the show as a competition announcer but it didn’t take long before she became a permanent fixture on the show as a relief co-presenter in 2021.
Since then, the TV personality has welcomed her son Reggie, five, with her ex-boyfriend Terry. Now, the blonde bombshell has opened up about her concerning health scare in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk.

She told us how she once battled with poor sleep which caused her to suffer with gruelling sleep paralysis. Josie explained: “I’ve had sleep paralysis twice and it was really weird. You’re awake but you’re not awake, it feels so odd.
“It was when I was Finland and it was the weirdest experience I’ve ever had. Something was stroking my hair and I was literally trying to shout out for it to get off me.”
The starlet revealed that the chilling experienced happened “for hours” despite calling out for help. She continued: “It felt like it was going on for hours and then the next thing you know I woke up and it was daylight but I was wide awake.
“It was so weird. I think you just get it when you’re over tired. But yeah, my sleep’s better getting a lot better now, a lot better.”

The ITV presenter teamed up with First Bus on their Moving the Everyday campaign, which aims to highlight the role buses have in bringing local communities together.
She spent the day on the bus in her hometown of Yate, Bristol, meeting everyday heroes from all over the country. Speaking about her day, she gushed: “I had the most wholesome day I’ve had in years and years.
“It was lovely because you forget how much of a vital role the bus plays in the community. I actually caught the bus around Bath the other day and I met some real characters. I just want to give a shout out to Dianne that I met on the bus, I loved her.
“I did my old bus route through the town back when I used to sell car and home insurance in Bristol city centre and I just remember it was such a sense of community for everybody.”
