Josie Gibson is ringing in her 40th with a bang, having carved out a stellar career since she first lit up our screens back in 2010. The proud mum became an instant celebrity when she clinched the title in Big Brother's 11th season and has since become a familiar face on programmes like I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, not to mention cementing her spot on ITV’s beloved This Morning.
Josie's journey wasn't always star-studded though; she once worked at AXA in Bristol, handling insurance claims before fame came knocking with a £100,000 Big Brother prize that set her financial trajectory upward.
By December 2023, it was reported that she pocketed a cool £100,000 for her time on I'm A Celeb, despite Sam Thompson walking away as the champion, boosting her net worth to an impressive £900k by early 2024.
Josie started on This Morning in 2019, announcing competitions, but thanks to the same charm that captured the nation's heart on Big Brother, she quickly gained more prominence on the show.
In 2021, she expressed her awe, stating: "I'm completely honoured. Whenever I'm sitting there hosting the show, I often look around and think 'how the hell did this happen to me?'"
Following Phillip Schofield's surprising exit, Josie stepped up to co-host with Holly Willoughby, leading fans to advocate for her permanent spot behind the hosting desk.

She shared with OK!: "It didn't feel like home for a long time as it was a new build. It was completely empty."
Moreover, she stated: "I had to get Georgina to make it feel more homely as I'm rubbish with turning bare spaces into something. It was a little bit soulless before, but now I love coming home."
