Josie Gibson is radiant as she shows off her incredible glow-up after getting 'tweakments' at celebrity-adored cosmetic clinic
Josie Gibson looked radiant as she showed off her incredible glow-up after heading to a celebrity-adored cosmetic clinic. The Big Brother star-turned-TV presenter, 40, took to Instagram to show off the results of recent cosmetic tweakments she had undergone. A glam snap of Josie shared on Sunday showed her after having her make-up done by ITV make-up artist Melissa J following the procedures. And on Monday Josie was glowing as she posed for snaps with her clinician, Dr Nora of Rejuvenation Clinic in London. She did not specify which tweakments she'd had done. Sharing snaps with Josie in the clinic of the pair laughing, Dr Nora - who runs Rejuvenation with Love Island star Rykard Jenkins - wrote: 'Can't tell which one the comedian is @josiegibson85! 'Always the best time having you in clinic! summer ready ✅✅ #skin #skincare #cosmetics #tweakments.' 'Ahh those pics actually came out ok!!!' Josie commented. 'Captured the craziness brilliantly!' Dr Nora replied: 'Omg jojo i promise next time ill get you in the chair and you'll get the full dermatological experience ❤️.' When Josie first started working, she lived in a caravan - and as a call centre worker for insurance firm AXA in Bristol she earned around £10,000, topping up her income with a sideline as a cleaner. But 15 years on and the television presenter is worth around £1million and it was revealed earlier this month she has splashed out on a stunning £1.1million mansion in Bath - ten miles from where she grew up. Now a much loved This Morning host and star of the 2023 series of I'm A Celeb, she has spent her riches on the four-bedroom, three-bathroom cottage on the outskirts of the historical city is set on three acres and also has a conservatory and outbuildings where she will live with her seven-year-old son Reggie. She also has big plans for the property. She has already submitted a planning application for 'erection of two storey side extension, entrance and single storey extension with balcony and new first floor and roof for annex building'. A friend of the star told The Mail: 'Josie is the fairytale rags to riches story. 'She used to live in caravan, she had very little but she has transformed her life thanks to her bubbly personality. She went out to the jungle so the fee from that would have helped to the house, for sure.' Dr Nora replied: 'Omg jojo i promise next time ill get you in the chair and you'll get the full dermatological experience ❤️' Josie, 40, rose to fame 15 years ago when she won the reality television show Big Brother. She won the 11th series in 2010 after getting into a relationship with housemate John James Parton. The couple later appeared in a one-off fly on the wall show following their lives together called Josie and John James: What Happened Next, before later splitting up. Josie quickly carved out a career as a TV personality, appearing in 2011 in her own three-part reality TV series There's Something About Josie. She joined ITV's This Morning as a competition announcer in 2019 and became a presenter in 2021. Before she became famous after appearing in Big Brother in 2010, she used to earn money by cleaning people's shoes and catching the bus around her local town trying to sell the product. In a far cry away from her usual glitzy TV appearances, she then moved on to grease the inside of washing machine bins in a factory before landing her job at AXA. Josie found love during her time in the Big Brother house with Australian housemate John James Parton but they split a year later. In 2018 she welcomed her son Reggie with her now ex-partner Terry Bond and bought a £550,000 house in her home city of Bristol where she grew up in 2022. MailOnline contacted a representative for Josie at the time.

Do you have Mum Face? All the ways motherhood takes its toll on your skin & the solutions you need…
NOTHING sums up motherhood better than: 'The days are long, but the years are short.' One minute you're in the throes of newborn life and the next, your daughter is swiping your serum. As a 41-year-old mum of two - to a six and nine year old - it feels like I blinked and 10 years have passed. And boy do those 10 years show on my face - my eye bags are much more prominent, my skin has lost its glow and the faint frown lines are now ever-present. There are some mornings I put off wearing my glasses, just to enjoy the slightly blurred reflection in the mirror that still feels more familiar to me than the aged version staring back at me. Ageing may be part and parcel of entering your 40s, but it also feels like each fine line and wrinkle tells a story of motherhood – the good, the bad and the ugly. 9 'It's completely normal for many of us to notice changes in our appearance after becoming mums,' says Dr Nora, cosmetic and medical dermatology doctor at Rejuvenation Clinic. 'Hormonal shifts, disrupted sleep, stress and the natural ageing process all play a role in the skin looking duller, with more pronounced under-eye bags, sagging in the lower face, and deeper frown lines.' A fan of the natural approach to ageing, I've always steered away from anti-ageing injections, but it feels like it's time to step up my current skincare and invest in some hard-hitting ingredients and devices. So, now that my children are growing up and I have more time on my hands, I've made it my mission to build up my confidence - consulting some of the best experts around for their advice on combating Mum Face. Eye bags and dark circles 'Lack of sleep reduces circulation, leading to dull, tired-looking skin and enhanced shadows under the eyes,' says Dr Tara Francis, dentist and advanced facial aesthetician. And it is not just lifestyle changes that can result in prominent eye bags, hormonal changes also play a factor, whether that's postpartum or if you're entering the perimenopause, like me. 'These changes can thin the skin, making underlying blood vessels more visible,' says Dr Tara, 'the natural loss of volume that comes with tiredness or ageing can deepen hollows under the eyes, making circles appear darker.' The Fix: Start with the basics - hydration, good nutrition, and rest when you can. 'Using a cold compress or chilled eye mask can quickly reduce puffiness, and topical products with caffeine, hyaluronic acid, and peptides can help brighten and plump the area over time,' says Dr Tara. BUY HERE Skin Rocks by Caroline Hirons The Eye Cream, £65, is a does-it-all formula that is clinically proven to reduce eye bags in eight weeks. A little goes a long way, and one pump should be sufficient for both eyes - apply with your pinkie finger to prevent pulling on the skin. The Inkey List Caffeine Eye Cream, £11 A good budget alternative is The Inkey List Caffeine Eye Cream, £11, which helps to depuff and reduce dark shadows. Nip+Fab Vitamin C Eye Patches, £15.95 For eye-bag emergencies, pop a pot of Nip+Fab Vitamin C Eye Patches, £15.95, in the fridge then leave on for 15 minutes to help brighten the area. Fine lines and wrinkles 'Frown lines become more prominent from repetitive movement - especially with the mental load of motherhood,' says Dr Nora. 'At home, a consistent skincare routine with antioxidants, peptides and retinoids can help maintain skin health - and daily SPF is a must - even on sleep-deprived mornings.' The Fix: Anti-wrinkle injections like Botox may be the most effective for reducing fine lines and wrinkles, but if you prefer not to go down the injectable route, then retinol is the answer. Murad Youth Renewal Oil Drops, £71 Murad Youth Renewal Oil Drops, £71, contains a blend of retinol that is not only powerful enough to help reduce lines and wrinkles, but also comes in a soothing oil formula that locks in moisture to the skin so it doesn't dry it out. Another option is Roc Retinol Derm Correxion Fill+Treat Serum, £39.99, which thanks to its applicator, can be applied directly to problem areas, rather than all over the face. Dull skin 'When we don't get enough sleep, our body doesn't have adequate time to repair itself,' says Dr Liam Piggott, medical director at Grand Aesthetics Clinic. 'This can lead to reduced blood flow, causing our skin to appear dull and lifeless. "Plus, during sleep, our skin regenerates and repairs damage, so without it, we miss out on that vital rejuvenation,' he adds. StylPro Wavelength LED Mask, £99.99 The Fix: If you don't have a magic wand that can ensure you regularly get your eight hours of uninterrupted sleep, then it may be worth investing in StylPro Wavelength LED Mask, £99.99. The red LED aids the stimulation of collagen production, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while the near-infrared light helps reduce inflammation. You need to use it every day for 10 minutes - alongside glow-inducing ingredients like vitamin C - to really see an improvement. Matter Of Fact Brightening & Firming Serum, £85 BUY HERE Matter Of Fact Brightening & Firming Serum, £85, contains 20% fully dissolved, stable L-ascorbic acid, which can boost the overall appearance of the skin. Sagging jowls Prior to having children, I had regular facials and in-salon treatments, which helped boost elasticity and firmness. However, since having children, this additional cost and indulgent treat has slipped down the priority list. 'Adapting to a new routine as a mother also means you have less time to commit to your previous skincare commitments, such as facials,' says Lauren Evans, CACI training and development officer. 'Stress can also trigger cortisol, which can accelerate the breakdown of collagen in our skin causing a loss in skin firmness.' The Fix: Sagging skin can often be hard to improve with products alone, but using a facial tool like a gua sha or jade roller can help, as it stimulates the lymphatic system reducing inflammation and puffiness, or in-salon treatments like CACI Jowl Lift, from £40, can help strengthen the muscle. 9 Medicube Night Wrapping Mask, £25.90 Applying a collagen mask like Medicube Night Wrapping Mask, £25.90, can improve elasticity, too - apply all over the skin and allow it to dry fully before going to sleep, then in the morning, peel off the mask to reveal tighter skin. IF your purse is feeling tighter than ever before and you're looking to save cash on your make-up routine, have you ever thought of trying out beauty dupes? Here are five of the best recommended beauty buys that are almost identical to the posh versions, but at a fraction of the price. FACE BASE If you can't afford Charlotte Tilbury 's £52 Magic Cream, why not try a dupe that costs just £5.49 from Superdrug? TONE IT UP If Drunk Elephant's £62 Protini Cream is out of your price range, you'll need to check out the new dupe in Home Bargains. TINTING IT With Fenty's game-changer skin tint costing £29, a popular supermarket's affordable alternative might just be the thing for you. GET COVERED At £29 for a Tarte concealer, the new Primark dupe is much more affordable at just £3.50. SPRAY YAY For those wanting to smell fresh without the price tag, Aldi's new Prada and Chloe perfume dupes cost a fraction of the price.
