The 39-year-old TV star - who won 'Big Brother' back in 2010 - has revealed that her son Reggie hates it when she's stopped in the street and asked for photographs by fans.

Josie - who also starred on 'I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!' in 2023 - told Reach: "He's a funny little thing, he can't stand it when people ask for photos."

Josie loves talking to members of the public - but her son has the opposite reaction.

She shared: "He goes, 'Mum, you always stop and talk to everybody, it's doing my head in! We are going to be late. We are late for everywhere we've got to go to!'

"Obviously it takes me a while to get there, [he goes], 'Mum, please just don't stop and talk, I'm sick of the photos'. But, I like talking to people."

Josie subsequently suggested that Reggie is unlikely to follow in her footsteps in the TV industry.

The 'This Morning' presenter said: "You know you get those kids that love the camera and love their photo being taken?

"He does say, 'Mum, take a picture of me like this, or take a picture of me like that', but he doesn't really love the camera."

Despite this, Josie thinks Reggie could still enjoy a successful career working behind the camera, observing that it would allow him to "travel the world".

The TV star said: "If I could choose any career for him, it would be a camera man, not in front of the camera.

"A camera man definitely. You get your job right as a camera man, and you can travel the world!"
