Josie Gibson has candidly opened up about a cancer scare for the first time. The ITV presenter, who fronts the daytime show This Morning, has spoken of the terrifying moment she found a lump in her breast. Josie previously had a breast enhancement operation back in 2013, where she went from a B cup to a DD.
However, following the cancer scare in 2023, she was forced to make a huge decision and decided to remove the implants. Speaking about the ordeal, she voiced that she started to get “really worried about it” when she found the lump. She told The Sun: “You could actually see it protruding — you could see the breast had changed shape, so I was getting a little bit frightened.”
She added: “So I went to my GP and he had a feel around — it was my breast implant. I went and I had them out and, for me, it was one of the best things I’ve done.”

Josie has also teamed up with the charity Breast Cancer Now in order to raise awareness for their new “eyes down, check up” campaign.
The popular TV star is also best known for winning Big Brother in 2010, where she secured the highest percentage of public votes in the show’s history.
She’s now a regular presenter on ITV’s This Morning, often alongside Dermot O’Leary, Craig Doyle and Alison Hammond. In 2023, she participated in I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!, finishing in fourth place.

Elsewhere, TV star Michael Barrymore was flooded with support as he shared a heartbreaking health diagnosis. The comedian, 73, has revealed he has been diagnosed with epilepsy, which was caused by a mini stroke.
In a TikTok video, the TV star uploaded a series of photos of himself in hospital. He wrote: “I developed epilepsy at 73… a mini stroke caused me to develop epilepsy where I have uncontrollable seizures. I suffer from cluster seizures, which affects a quarter of people with epilepsy. It means I have more than one, usually three individual seizures in a short period of time.”
He added: “It’s scary because there’s a 40% chance of going into epilepticus which causes brain damage and death without prompt medical attention. I’ve had several attacks this year and have emergency medication at home if I go into a seizure. It doesn’t really affect my life otherwise, but it would be nice to talk with other sufferers on here about it.”
