Josie Gibson, 40, first rose to fame when she won the last series of Big Brother on Channel 4 back in
Since then she has become a household name, and now she has undertaken her biggest challenge yet as she embarks on a massive construction project.

But in a new interview, the TV personality admitted that she wanted to be “off grid as humanly possible” with a sustainable lifestyle.
She admitted: “I want to live off the land as much as I can and get a little allotment going, which I’ve never had.
“All my family are involved in helping me – I’ve got the best of Bristol on it so I’m hoping I can build a showstopper.”
Many fans have noticed that the star has appeared less on This Morning than usual over the summer as stars such as Rochelle Humes and Olivia Attwood step in.
Josie admitted that this was a conscious decision so she could spend more time with her son during the school break.
She admitted: “A lot of my work comes through the summer holidays because I’m covering for people.
“So this year I made a conscious decision to step back and I spent a lot more time with Reggie over the summer than I’d normally get to do.”
This comes after Josie revealed that she’s living in a caravan after moving out of her million-pound house whilst the building work takes place.
The former Big Brother winner opened up on Good Morning Britain about her recent property move.
Host Ranvir Singh remarked to the star: “You know what, you used to live in a caravan before all of this, and now, just a few years later, you’ve bought this enormous house. You’re a great British success story, Josie!”
The former I’m A Celebrity campmate shot back: “Well, I’m moving back into a caravan, I don’t know about that!”
Josie then joked that the extensive renovations of her abode had left her “skint” before opening up on working with her family for the new show.
She explained: “They say never to work with family or animals, and I’ve done just that. To say my stress levels are up here…
“They are great, they are amazing, but there are a lot of challenges, let’s say.”
She added: “I’ve had a lot of sleepless nights.
