This Morning star Josie Gibson has candidly shared her health journey, revealing that she had her breast implants removed following a cancer scare. The beloved ITV personality, who rose to fame after winning Big Brother in 2010, has increasingly become a trusted face on the daytime show since joining in 2019. Her decision highlights an inspiring moment of health prioritization, which has resonated deeply with her fans.
Facing a Health Scare
In a recent interview, Josie opened up about discovering a lump in her breast. Initially frightened by the discovery, she sought medical advice to determine the cause of the change in her breast’s shape. To her relief, it turned out to be her breast implant. However, this experience spurred Josie to take action and remove the implants she had initially undergone surgery for back in 2013. Speaking to The Sun, she commented, “You could actually see it protruding — the breast had changed shape. I was really worried.”
The procedure, which Josie describes as one of the best decisions she has ever made, has brought her peace of mind. Partnering with Tombola and Breast Cancer Now, the popular TV host hopes to inspire others to be proactive about their health.
Exploring Her Wellness Journey
Josie has also been outspoken about her weight and overall health. Earlier this year on the Channel 5 show The 1970s Diet, viewers saw her embrace a unique approach to better understand her body and lifestyle. Despite being active, Josie admitted to struggling with her size, sharing, “I’m one of the most on-the-go people I’ve ever met, but my size doesn’t fit with my activity.” She added, “I am fit, but I am also overweight. Sometimes I think, ‘Is it fair?’ but we’re all different.”
Revealing Unexpected Challenges
During the show, Josie learned that she was suffering from gout, a condition where uric acid builds up in the joints, causing pain and discomfort. Initially mistaking her symptoms for something minor, she humorously admitted, “I thought gout was only for old men.” However, with a lifestyle filled with champagne and rich foods, Josie recognized how her habits may have contributed.
Her openness about her health, vulnerabilities, and lifestyle reevaluation has shown fans a relatable side to the bubbly presenter. By prioritizing her well-being, Josie Gibson is setting an example for viewers everywhere that it is never too late to make health-conscious decisions.
