This Morning’s Josie Gibson devastated by ex-boyfriend who left her after she gave birth to son
THIS Morning star Josie Gibson was left devastated by her ex-boyfriend who left her after she gave birth to their son.
Josie, 38, is mum to a four-year-old son named Reggie, and it’s been far from plain-sailing for the popular star.
Josie became a single parent after her ex dumped her, months after they welcomed their son.
She was also kicked out of their home on New Year’s Eve in 2018 after the split.
The break up came after a New Year’s Eve row centring around Josie’s ex Terry’s OCD.
She told new!: “He’s got OCD and just after Christmas, he went mad about too many of my shoes being in the hallway. So I kicked off and said, ‘Well, we’ll go then!’ And he went, ‘Alright’, and bagged up our stuff. So Reggie and me headed to a hotel.
“[It was] Two days before New Year’s Eve. Me and Reggie stayed in a hotel for two nights before going to my house. We watched the fireworks out of the window while we unpacked. It was the worst New Year’s Eve ever.”
The star recently said she is happily focused on her little boy and said motherhood has made her a “strong woman.”
She also opened up on motherhood when she appeared on Loose Women in 2019, just weeks after her split.
Josie explained at the time: “It’s not what I wanted to come back and say. I was so proud of our family unit and that we’d done it properly, but yeah I’m a single parent. It’s devastating really.
“It is stressful being a single parent but sometimes it’s easier working on your own and not having someone against you.”
But being a single mum has far from slowed the talented presenter down, with a new role on This Morning coming her way after Phillip Schofield’s axe.
Alison and Dermot confirmed that Holly will be joined by Josie Gibson.
Alison said: “Holly and Josie will be here on Monday when pop sensation Adam Lambert pops by to tell us loads.”
