But appearing on Loose Women today Josie once again told how hard it was to apart from her only child.
She said: “When I was on there I missed him so much.
“I don’t actually feel like I gave the best of myself because I was so heartbroken, I was pining for him.”
During Thursday’s episode of Loose Women Josie also revealed she was hospitalised after the jungle.
She told the panel: “When I came out I was on the flight coming home and I just started to feel really unwell, I was shivering. And then when I got back I had severe tonsilitus. I couldn’t breathe.
“So I got taken to hospital on Friday. They gave me lots of steroids to bring all the swelling down. It was a bit touch whether I could have made This Morning.”
