She added: "I am dreading the insects and it's my biggest phobia. I also don't like spiders and I freeze normally when I see one. My family thinks I am mad doing the programme too as they know what I'm like with creepy crawlies!"

Josie rose to fame on Big Brother in 2010 when she won the show after capturing the hearts of the nation. The now 38-year-old went on to appear in Ultimate Big Brother, re-entering the house just 18 minutes after being crowned winner.

The series also saw Josie find love with fellow housemate John James Parton, with the pair appearing in a one-off show together called Josie and John James: What Happened Next before their split in 2011. After Big Brother, Josie became a showbiz reporter for the Channel 5 show OK! TV, viewers may also recognise her from Celebrity Wedding Planner, Celebrity Juice, Big Brother's Bit on the Side, and Loose Women.

Josie is now a regular host on ITV's This Morning following the exit of Phillip Schofield and often presents alongside Alison Hammond and Craig Doyle. Josie says her colleagues on This Morning have all been incredibly supportive and that Alison, who took part in 2010, has also given her plenty of advice.

"I know she will be rooting for me," Josie said. "She has told me to try my hardest. Everyone at This Morning says I am going to love it. In fact, they are the ones who have really enticed me to do it! They are very supportive and I am going to miss them all."
