Josie Gibson has admitted she is terrified of having her heart broken - days after being pictured holding hands with her 'love' Stephen Mulhern. 

Last week, the star, 39, was seen hand in hand with the Catchphrase presenter, 47, outside BBC studios, after which she joked to MailOnline: 'I'm in love with Stephen Mulhern. There you go. But story of my life, I don't think he loves me.'

Following a string of unsuccessful relationships, Josie confessed that she lives in fear of being left devastated again by another failed romance. Stephen meanwhile has always been guarded about his personal life. 

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, she admitted that her past heartaches are the root of her issues, as she said: 'Do you know what? I just can't have my heart broken again like I just can't do it. I always meet them and like they're not very good'. 

Her time in the spotlight has seen her embroiled in a number of romances, including her Big Brother boyfriend John James Parton, from her 2010 stint in the house, ex-fiancé Luke Sanwo and her baby daddy Terry.

Josie, who shares her son Reggie, five, with ex-partner Terry, declared her single status just days after joking about her unrequited love for fellow TV star Stephen.  

The stunner detailed how she juggles her time between her TV work in London, including presenting This Morning, and living with Reggie in Bath. 

In light of her current romantic state, she said: 'If I was to meet somebody - one, it wouldn't be fair on them. Because I can't give them the time that they need, and two, I've got my little boy, and I will never get that time back..

'So if I'm taking time away from my little boy and spending it on something that may or may not work out. I'm gonna really regret that.' 

The Big Brother star spoke about her life on and off-screen ahead of her collaboration with Yoplait, in which she has launched a mission to help boost calcium intake in kids after sweets and chocolate replaced yogurts in many diets. 

Josie and Reggie replicated iconic 'Got Milk?' images by posing with yoghurt moustaches made from Petits Filous for the shoot, before she spoke about providing Reggie the life she could never have imagined. 

Josie soared to fame after winning Big Brother's 11th season in 2010 leading to various brand deals and a hugely successful weight loss path.

She insists that romance is not currently an option for her due to bringing up Reggie, who she amicably co-parents with Terry, who she deems a fantastic dad.

Josie confessed that caring for Reggie between the ages of two and four she struggled, yet he has now evolved into being her 'little best friend'. 

She said: 'It just gets better and better like from the I will be honest. I know I know you're right now. Age now I find from the ages of 2, so by 4 and a half, probably the hardest times of my life, but it would juggle in...

'A juggle is real in it. But now, like oh, my God! It is so freaking, hilarious! It makes me laugh on a daily basis, and it's just like he's my little mate. Something like sometimes my friends tell have to say to me. It's not your friend like. I tell him everything!'

Josie piled praise on her ex Terry and admitted his incredibly hands-on parenting makes juggling work and motherhood an easier ride for her.

Little Reggie is now getting involved in his mum's work, as he has appeared in Josie's Yoplait campaign which ties in with new research that shows kids are swapping yoghurt for more sugary foods like biscuits and sweets - leading to a dairy deficit. 

Josie revealed that kid’s yoghurt intakes have declined, especially since the pandemic, and how an increasing proportion of their daily intake is now represented by sugary foods like biscuits, cakes and crisps. 

She said: 'Yoghurt for kids is packed full of calcium, vitamin D which growing children need to develop, so it’s alarming to see that the consumption is in decline.'

Speaking about helping Reggie eat well, she said: 'Well, the thing is, we've always got Petits Filous in our fridge. So we we always yeah, you know what it's like with the kids. kids are like going for chocolate and biscuits and stuff like that...

'So they're trying to get more kids to eat yogurts because the bit mind calcium. So I was like, I'll sign up for that one. Thank you!'

Josie Gibson was spotted holding hands with fellow TV star Stephen Mulhern at the weekend and she admitted to MailOnline 'I'm in love with Stephen'

Josie's first romance in the public eye came with her Big Brother co-star John James Parton (pictured in 2011) immediately after the show ended in 2010

But the pair broke up after a little under a year and John went on to star in Love Island Australia in 2018

John James Parton

Josie's career in the public eye was launched by a popular stint in the Big Brother house in 2010 which saw her win series 11 of the show, at the age of 25.

A big part of her journey on the then-Channel 4 show was hitting it off with housemate John James Parton.

The pair dated for just shy of a year after their release from the Big Brother house.

When they went their separate ways, Josie told the Daily Star: 'We spent every minute of the day with each other in the Big Brother house and moved in straight away after leaving the show.

'We didn't want to be apart. But the honeymoon period was over. We argued all the time. John wanted me to stop weeing with the toilet door open and I wanted him to stop moaning and to see things from my point of view.'

John went on to star in Love Island Australia in 2018, with Josie telling Daily Mail Australia: 'He doesn't want a girlfriend, he's just fame hungry. He's the most manipulative and calculated person I've ever met.

'I thought we were in love but all he would ever talk about were the magazine deals and photoshoots.'

Ex-fiancé Luke Sanwo

Josie got engaged to plumber Luke Sanwo (pictured in 2014) but they broke up in 2015 having never got married

Shortly after splitting from John, Josie was in a new relationship with plumber Luke Sanwo, who she met at the SW4 music festival on London's Clapham Common.

In 2012, after just six months, Luke popped the question and the pair got engaged. 

After a tumultuous few years involving a number of temporary break-ups, they finally decided to go their separate ways in April 2015. 

Josie told new! Magazine at the time: 'Me and Luke have had a chat and we're going to take a break from our relationship. 

'The passion is slowly drifting and now it's virtually non-existent. I feel like it's the right thing to do at the moment.'

In 2023, Luke recalled a heated spat just before the split where he claims Josie wielded a machete the pair used to cut meat at barbecues.

However, he told The Sun: 'I was shocked and amazed but I didn't feel in danger. I know she didn't intend me any harm.'

Ex-boyfriend Terry

She had her son, Reggie (pictured), with ex-boyfriend Terry - a property developer who she split from in 2019

Two years after the split from Luke, Josie got into a relationship with a property developer and family friend called Terry.

The couple had actually known each other for two decades before they got together and went on to welcome a son, Reggie, in September 2018.

But five months after Reggie was born, the pair split up.

In a previous interview with new! Magazine, Josie revealed that Terry had kicked her out on New Year's Eve in 2018 after an argument.

'He's got OCD and just after Christmas, he went mad about too many of my shoes being in the hallway,' she explained.

'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.' 

However, the pair moved back in together at the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, in order to co-parent during lockdown. 

When restrictions were lifted, they went their separate ways once again.

Is Josie Gibson single?

Josie sparked rumours of a fresh romance in August 2023, with cameraman Sam Morter (seen with Josie) touted as her new flame, but Josie shut these down

While Josie shut down rumours of romance with Dancing On Ice host Stephen, she did hint at a new flame in August 2023.

On Shopping With Keith Lemon she revealed 'there is someone in my life at the moment but it's early stages', but has been tight-lipped on their identity.

Rumours circulated that the mystery man was cameraman Sam Morter, who has appeared with the TV star a number of times on her social media, but these murmurs were swiftly put to bed.

More speculation came in November when Josie shared a cosy snap with hairdresser Maurice Flynn, with the caption: 'One of the best meals I've ever had in my entire existence. If you ever get the chance @lavolondon in Marylebone London is the one.

'The company was delicious too!! What an amazing evening.. I felt like I was in heaven! @mauriceflynn @lavolondon Thank you.' 

However, by the end of that year, in an episode of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! she revealed that she was single again.

'I've got to find a boyfriend after this,' Josie said in the Bush Telegraph as she spoke of her embarrassment at breaking wind in front of her campmates.
