Josie

Josie Diane Shirley Gibson was a 26-year-old financial sales rep from Bristol. At the age of 14 she left home to live on her Aunt Kay's farm. Josie has recently released a perfume called Josie. She was the first contestant to be selected by Big Brother to be a housemate on day 1. Throughout her stay she received only five nominations for eviction and never once faced the public vote. She entered into a relationship with fellow housemate John James Parton and upon leaving Big Brother the pair confirmed their boyfriend/girlfriend status. On Day 66, she was voted by her fellow housemates to win a ticket to the final of BB 2010. On Day 77, she won Big Brother 2010 and the £100,000 prize, with 77.5% of the five-way vote. She then re-entered the Big Brother house to compete in Ultimate Big Brother. On day 3 of that series she walked out. Since leaving Big Brother she has appeared on Big Brother's Little Brother and Big Brother's Big Mouth. She featured in a one-off reality TV programme which was broadcast on 11 October 2010. A further three-part series will be broadcast in May 2011. Josie has raised funds to support children's cancer charity CLIC Sargent. She donated £20,000 of her winnings to the charity when she left Big Brother. On 28 March 2011 it was announced in OK! that Josie and John James's relationship wasn't working and the pair were taking a break. John James had already returned home to his native Australia when the article was published. On 4 April 2011 Josie confirmed on Twitter that "JJJ" (as the pair were branded by fans) were "no more".
