Josie, who has been a solo parent after parting ways from Reggie’s dad Terry, explained to Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly during her departure interview that she’d struggled without her mini-me. She said: “I was missing him so much and you could see I was really sad and I wasn’t myself.”
During her stint, she even broke down to her co-star Eastenders star Dannielle Harold as she was overcome with separation anxiety. Telling the actress: “I just miss my little boy. I shouldn’t have ever left him this long.”

“Just had a little wobble. You just feel very guilty. I’ll never leave him this long again, ever,” added Josie. Lots of parents online sympathised with the TV star, agreeing that they wouldn’t have coped well leaving their own offspring.
One critic penned: “Oh god give me strength, enjoy the money love with your son,” as another shamer agreed: “During covid people didn’t get to see family or anyone for such a long time and they complain about being away from family for a month and being paid an enormous amount of money…”

Other disagreed, explaining they would have done exactly the same in Josie’s position, with one person adding: “You are creating a better life for you and your darling boy well done Josie,” a second wrote: “I would have found it incredibly difficult leaving my children but agree with Josie’s I’m A Celeb choice. We need to stop mum shaming and all do our own thing”
On Monday 18 December, Josie was welcomed back with open arms as she opened up about her experience. All while wearing a signature bush style hat.
Teaming her attire with a glittery and festive sparkly skirt, she confessed to her co-star Craig that she’s having nightmares after her stint down under. She said: “I still have nightmares now. Who signs up to the jungle with serious phobias?
“It was really scary. I have never seen spiders that big.”
This Morning airs weekdays on ITV at 10:30am.
