This Morning star, 40, opens up about cancer scare after finding lump
This Morning host Josie Gibson has revealed her frightening ordeal after finding a 'large lump' on her breast. The TV presenter, 40, who rose to fame when she won the 2010 series of Big Brother, previously went under the knife to have 34D breast implants, having been a B cup before. However, Josie grew concerned when one of her breasts actually 'changed shape' due to the lump, which ultimately led to her having her implants removed. Speaking in a new interview, she recalled the 2023 health scare: 'I had a big lump underneath my left boob, and I was getting really worried about it. 'You could actually see it protruding—you could see the breast had changed shape, so I was getting a little bit frightened.' Josie made a GP appointment, and her doctor 'had a feel around', after which he found the issue was actually with her breast implant. 'I went and I had them out, and, for me, it was one of the best things I've done,' Josie declared to The Sun. After having her implants taken out, the star finally has 'peace of mind' and zero regrets. She's now also urging other women to help make breast cancer a less taboo topic, joining forces with charity Breast Cancer Now to raise awareness of the symptoms. 'We only ever talk about breast cancer when something bad happens. Let's make it part of the conversation.' Josie initially had a breast enlargement—and a nipple lift—after losing weight, having gone from a size 20 to a size 8 in the space of a year. Her physical transformation was well documented and highly publicised, as she spoke about adapting to a much stricter diet and hiring a personal trainer. In 2013, Josie also released a workout DVD called Josie Gibson: 30 Second Slim and, in 2014, published her book, The Josie Gibson Diet: Love Food, Get Slim, Stay Slim. Continuing on her healthy lifestyle journey, the following year, Josie launched a sought-after diet plan named Slimmables, which offered members a 14-day detox and progression to an 80/20 diet. However, speaking previously about shedding as much weight as she did, Josie, who was left in tears after cruel responses to her appearance in Big Brother, admitted that she's still never satisfied with her body. She told the Daily Mail last December: 'I've been, you know, over the years, you put so much stress on yourself—like I'm never happy, never happy. 'But now I'm just really busy, but I would like to lose a bit of timber, but I'm happy with myself. And that's the main thing.' 'It's like a home renovation, your body, isn't it? So I always need a little bit of progress. I always need to paint a room.' Josie is certain of one thing, though, and it's that, despite the rise of celebs taking Ozempic, she has no desire to try weight loss drugs or jabs. 'The thing is, I can understand, you know, when people get desperate and they want to do that,' she reasoned. More Trending 'But it wouldn't be for me, only because I don't want to mess around with my body. I like everything natural; I always go down the natural route.' Josie joined ITV's This Morning in 2019, initially as a competition announcer. In 2021, she began hosting the main show regularly, filling in for Holly Willoughby last minute and quickly winning the nation's hearts.

'You could actually see it protruding — you could see the breast had changed shape, so I was getting a little bit frightened. 'So I went to my GP and he had a feel around — it was my breast implant. I went and I had them out and, for me, it was one of the best things I've done.' Josie, a regular presenter on the ITV show, had a breast enhancement operation in 2013 to take her from a B cup to a DD. But she has no regrets about having them removed ten years on, insisting she now has 'peace of mind'. It has inspired Josie to join forces with tombola bingo and charity Breast Cancer Now for their new 'eyes down, check up' campaign. Josie has been busy pounding the streets for the campaign, which aims to raise awareness of symptoms and changes to watch out for, as well as raise up to £1million for charity. She said: 'We only ever talk about breast cancer when something bad happens. Let's make it part of the conversation.' Josie, who launched diet website Slimmables in 2015, is also now busy renovating her £1.1million home outside Bath, living in a caravan on site. And the star, who found fame on Big Brother in 2010, revealed the stress of the project has left her going grey. Tombola in Partnership with Breast Cancer Now She said: 'Basically, I've just made my life a lot more stressful. Put it this way, I've been dying my hair.' Hands-on Josie is getting stuck into the renovation with the help of family and pals and jokes: 'I've been doing so much manual labour, I have embraced my inner bloke.' The single mum to Reggie, six, has apple trees on the property and even hopes to make her own cider. She jokes that Jeremy Clarkson, who produces his own Hawkstone Cider, better watch out, adding: 'It's a cider off, Clarkson!'

BREAST cancer is the most common type of cancer in the UK. The majority of women who get it are over 50, but younger women and, in rare cases, men can also get breast cancer. If it's treated early enough, breast cancer can be prevented from spreading to other parts of the body. Breast cancer can have a number of symptoms, but the first noticeable symptom is usually a lump or area of thickened breast tissue. Most breast lumps aren't cancerous, but it's always best to have them checked by your doctor. You should also speak to your GP if you notice any of the following: a change in the size or shape of one or both breasts discharge from either of your nipples (which may be streaked with blood) a lump or swelling in either of your armpits dimpling on the skin of your breasts a rash on or around your nipple a change in the appearance of your nipple, such as becoming sunken into your breast Source: NHS

Scots tourist could be jailed for stealing from historic European site
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SCOTS tourist has been reported for theft after he was caught with artefacts from the ancient city of Pompeii. The man, 51, was stopped by Italian Carabinieri police after a guide saw him put fragments from a brick and five stones lifted from the UNESCO World Heritage Site in his backpack. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 The holidaymaker, 51, was reported to police after lifting artefacts from the ruins of Pompeii in Italy Credit: getty 3 The city's ruins are well-preserved after they were covered in tonnes of volcanic ash Credit: getty 3 Archaeologists have used plaster and resin to recreate human figures who were trapped under the debris when Mount Vesuvius erupted Credit: CARLO HERMANN/AFP via Getty Images He could face trial and a fine of up to £1,300 and six years in prison if convicted. Locals say those who take treasures from the site are hexed after tourists who helped themselves to ancient items suffered a series of misfortunes. A police spokesman said: "This week we caught a Scotsman before he could get away but we may have saved him from the curse. "He said he had no idea it was forbidden to remove artefacts from Pompeii. "He was trying to get out of trouble but it did not work." Officials say the man was stopped near a train station after lifting pieces of the ancient ruins during a night-time tour on Thursday. Pompeii near Naples was home to up to 20,000 people until volcano Mount Vesuvius erupted sending scorching 250°C ash clouds across the city in 79AD. The mountains of debris helped preserve the site, which is visited by 2.5million tourists each year. Tonnes of volcanic ash protected the settlement's buildings until archaeologists could unearth its basilica and temples. The Tragic History of Pompeii Voids left by human bodies which were trapped underneath have been filled with plaster and resin to recreate figures trapped by the disaster. Up to 20,000 visitors each day come to see them. An American woman who took two stones from Pompeii in 2011 says she got stage 3 breast cancer and her marriage collapsed prompting her to return the items. In 2020, a Canadian posted mosaic tiles and ceramics she had taken to a travel agent in the city claiming she suffered from bad luck, including two bouts of serious illness and financial problems. And in 2015, an English tourist returned a fragment of an art work her parents lifted decades earlier claiming it had brought years of misfortune. Gabriel Zuchtriegel, director general of the archaeological park in Pompeii, said: 'Congratulations and thanks to the attentive tour guide, to our excellent custodians and security staff, and to the Carabinieri for this collaborative effort to protect our heritage. 'Controls will be reinforced in the coming days due to the high influx of visitors during the summer.'
