Josie Gibson gave a new insight into her love life on her new Channel 5 travel show, Around The World in First Class.
In the debut episode, the 40-year-old presenter enjoyed a luxurious stop at a five-star water villa in Dubai before jetting off to Doha. Kicking off her journey in style, Josie indulged in the first-class lounge perks and VIP services.
Upon arrival at her extravagant £15,000-a-night villa, Josie was astounded by the lavish amenities. From the spa facilities to the gourmet dining and her personal host, everything seemed perfect.
During her first evening, Josie embarked on a sunset boat trip, known as a prime spot for romantic proposals. Despite the setting, there was no proposal waiting for Josie as she ventured out alone with her guide.
“No proposals for me tonight, but I’ve definitely had my money’s worth,” she remarked, reports the Mirror.
Nonetheless, Josie didn’t let that dampen her spirits, adding: “Seeing Dubai at night from a boat is incredible. The beauty of it is magic. It’s at night that Dubai really comes alive.”
Later, she was greeted with a red carpet on the beach and a solitary, yet romantic dinner complete with rose petals. “I feel like this is the closest I’m going to get to a proposal, because this is what it feels like. There is no expense spared here and it feels so romantic right now. And a tiny bit depressing that I’m here on my own.”
But the evening took a turn for the better when Chef Julian LaRay joined her, whipping up a delicious meal featuring Josie’s favourite, sushi. Later, the celebrity confessed she would “have loved to have someone to share this with.”
It comes as Josie’s first public romance was with her Big Brother co-star John James Parton. After their stint on the show, they lived together but eventually split up.
She then got engaged to plumber Luke Sanwo in 2012, but it didn’t work out. Speaking to New! Magazine at the time, Josie said: “The passion has been slowly drifting and now it’s pretty much nonexistent. I feel like it’s the right thing to do at the moment.”
The This Morning presenter later started dating Terry Bond in 2017, and they had their son Reggie in 2018. However, they separated a few months after Reggie was born.
They had known each other for two decades, and during the pandemic, Terry moved back in so they could parent together as a family. Back in December, Josie revealed that she is currently single as she’s too busy with raising son Reggie and working.
The First Class Travel Show airs on Channel 5, on Friday’s from 8pm.
