Josie Gibson is in the early stages of a relationship

The 38-year-old TV star - who has four-year-old son Reggie with former partner Terry - has admitted there is someone special in her life, and even though the romance is just beginning, she has already dropped the L-bomb.

Speaking on tonight's (09.08.23) episode of 'Shopping With Keith Lemon' on ITV2, she says: "There is someone in my life at the moment but it’s early stages.

"It’s that bit where you’ve got the flutters, can’t-wait-to see-them vibes – you get a little bit nervous. I’ve said 'I love you'. It’s best to just get it out of the way, I don’t like playing games!"

The 'This Morning' host also explained she "never" gets any attention from the opposite sex and "hated" it when a ban on wolf-whistling came in.

She said: "I never ever get chatted up. Do you know what? I hated it when they started banning wolf-whistling. I used to love getting wolf- whistled at."

Josie - who shot to fame when she won 'Big Brother' in 2011 - recently opened up about the "struggle" she goes through thinking about her little boy starting school.

She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I'll be honest with you, it's not my favourite thing in the world. Because someone's taking them off your hands - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday."

"And I'm used to having my Mondays with Reg – we spend Mondays together, we spend Fridays together so, to be fair, I struggled with that a little bit.

"He woke up the other day and he said, 'Can we go to Mexico today Mummy?'

"And we've got a little globe we use and he puts a sticker on all the places he's been."
