Host Ranvir Singh was quick to congratulate the star for earning millions and buying her dream home after previously living in a caravan.
But she soon quipped that she had actually had to return to the static home.
Speaking on GMB, Ranvir said to the star: "You know what, you used to live in a caravan before all of this, and now, just a few years later, you've bought this enormous house. You're a great British success story, Josie!"
Josie shot back: "Well, I'm moving back into a caravan, I don't know about that!"
But the Big Brother winner is only heading back to the caravan temporarily as she transforms her countryside pile in Somerset.
The huge construction project is being captured by ITV for a brand new series following Josie but she joked that the extensive renovations had left her "skint".
As part of the show, she has teamed up with her brothers, Charlie and Josh, as well as her cousin Tom and a team of locals to create her dream property.
Josie said this morning: "I've actually roped the family in. They say never to work with family or animals, and I've done just that. To say my stress levels are up here...
"They are great, they are amazing, but there are a lot of challenges, let's say."
She added: "I've had a lot of sleepless nights.

"Sometimes, you get this great big dream and you follow your dreams, but you don't realise, with those dreams, there could be quite a lot of hurdles."
The programme is expected to debut in 2026 following the completion of the house renovations.
Josie found herself back in the spotlight in 2019 when she joined the This Morning team as a host.
It allowed her to rake in millions as she became a golden girl of ITV.

Ray Brooks dead: Coronation Street and EastEnders actor who voiced Mr Benn dies
Ray Brooks has died at the age of 86, his family has confirmed. The actor, who is one of the few actors to appear in both Coronation Street and EastEnders, died on Saturday after a short illness, his family told the BBC. He was also the famous voice of Mr Benn, narrating the classic 1970s children's show. The actor's sons Will and Tom shared a touching statement to confirm his death. They said that while their father thought he was best known for his role on Mr Benn, people would be "continually asking him to say the catchphrase 'as if by magic!'". In the cartoon, a character named Mr Benn would find himself entering a new adventure each episode as he dressed up in a magical costume shop. In the statement to the BBC, his family added: "Although only 13 episodes were made, they were repeated twice a year for 21 years." In the soap world, Ray joined the Corrie cobbles in the 1960s, taking up the role as Norman Philips in the long-running ITV soap. Almost 40 years later, he switched allegiances, joining BBC's EastEnders as Joe Macer. His character will be best remembered for murdering his wife Pauline Fowler. but throughout his long career in showbiz, Ray also had a large resume to look back on. After being the male lead in the ground-breaking 1960s BBC drama Cathy Come Home, he later starred in 1980s hit Big Deal. He played the part of Robbie Box and the series before later appearing in Running Wild as the comic lead Max Wild.

Claim Freddie Mercury had secret daughter divides fans and friends
His performances defined an era, and his life story has been dissected in tell-all books as well as on the big screen. But now further revelations may open up an unknown chapter in the life of Freddie Mercury. The question of whether or not Mercury had a secret daughter, whom he told no one about and would now be 48-years-old, has divided fans and the closest people in his life. A forthcoming book by Lesley-Ann Jones tells of a woman known only as B, who claims that the woman is in fact the Queen frontman's daughter – conceived during a fling with the wife of a close friend in 1976. 'Freddie Mercury was and is my father,' she says in a handwritten letter. 'We had a very close and loving relationship from the moment I was born and throughout the final 15 years of his life. He adored me and was devoted to me.' Little is known about B other than her age and the fact she is a medical professional working in Europe. She claims Mercury entrusted her with 17 journals that cover the final years of his life, which Jones says are 'the closest thing to a Freddie Mercury autobiography that the world will ever know'. The claims, which first emerged in May and were apparently common knowledge among Mercury's inner circle, have been met with mounting pushback from some people who knew the singer best. When asked about B, the Queen guitarist Brian May said he wanted to remain 'neutral'. However, his wife, the former EastEnders star Anita Dobson, dismissed the claims as 'fake news'. Mary Austin, a close friend of the singer, also doubted whether Mercury would have kept the fact he had a daughter secret from his inner circle. 'Freddie had a glorious openness, and I cannot imagine he would have wanted to, or been able to, keep such a joyful event a secret, either from me or other people closest to him,' Austin told the Sunday Times. Austin inherited about half of an estimated £9m estate that Mercury left after the singer, who was diagnosed with Aids in 1987, died aged 45 of bronchial pneumonia in 1991. Mercury had relationships with men and women (including Austin) and described himself as bisexual. 'The truth is that I am simply not the guardian of such a secret,' said Austin. 'I've never known of any child, or of any diaries. If Freddie had indeed had a child without me knowing anything about it, that would be astonishing to me.' The woman referred to as B responded by saying she was 'devastated' by Austin's comments. Jones – whose book Love, Freddie will be published next month – defended the validity of the claims when they first emerged, saying that a DNA test had been conducted that supported the version of events presented in her Mercury biography. She also pointed to the lack of a vocal rejection of the claims by the remaining members of Queen as further evidence that the details in her book were true. 'What I would say is that the real inner circle – the other members of Queen and Freddie's sister – would have denied this if they could, weeks ago, when the story broke,' Jones said. 'They cannot because, as Freddie's daughter says, they know that it is true.' Jones, who has written a series of books about music's biggest names, has been talking up more revelations that appear in Love, Freddie – claiming she has been 'crafting a narrative that will overturn everything we thought we knew about him and his legacy'.
