This Morning's Josie Gibson 'isn't bothered' dating and has no Valentine's plans

This Morning star Josie Gibson has candidly admitted that she's 'can't be bothered' with dating and has no plans for Valentine's Day this year.

Josie, 37, who became a household name when she appeared on Big Brother in 2010, 37, has jokingly confessed that she 'can’t even pull a party cracker, let alone a man - and she really has no interest.

The proud mum to son Reggie, 4, wouldn't be happy if his famous mum brought home a boyfriend because he wouldn't want to 'share' her with anyone else.

TV star Josie, who is set to take over hosting duties on This Morning during half-term, joked that the only man she's happy to be spending time with is her co-host Dermot O'Leary.

"Aside from spending the morning with Dermot on the 14th, I have no plans. I can’t even pull a party cracker. There’s definitely not any valentine for me this year," Josie shared.

"I’m not sure Reg would be impressed if I got a boyfriend at the moment. He already shares me with This Morning, and I don’t want him to share me with anyone else.

"I just haven’t met anybody where I think ‘yeah, you could really fit into my life’ and it’s also the time and effort too - you’ve got to meet, trust them, date, work each other out, the messaging, I just can’t be bothered," she added.

Although Josie now can't be bothered with the idea of dating, this time last year, she admitted that she was open to the idea of dating, but on one condition - they pick up the bill.

At the time, the presenter confessed she likes the idea of being wined and dined by a potential suitor and would enjoy a 'little bit of attention' from a potential partner.

Speaking about motherhood, dating and dieting with OK! magazine, the bubbly star also explained how finding love as a single mum can be a tough challenge.

"It would be nice to be taken out for dinner by someone," Josie confessed when quizzed about whether she was on the lookout for a new man.

"But I couldn’t give them anything else. I just want someone to give me maybe a little bit of attention - and dinner.

"But they’ve got to pay. But my son is too young. I’m really quite funny about that. I don’t like people in my son’s circle. It’s hard because if you meet someone, you want to bring them into your life.

"But I can’t show them my life because I don’t want to put Reg at risk like that."

Asides from her relationship with the father of her child, Terry, Josie's most famous relationship in the public eye was back when she first rose to fame following her stint on Big Brother.

After winning the Channel 4 show back in 2010, the mum-of-one struck up a romance with fellow contestant John James Parton - after flirting intensely throughout their time in the house together.

The two reality stars dated in the outside world - with their relationship even documented in her spin-off show There’s Something About Josie - but it wasn't to be.

Josie and the Australian star - who has since appeared on Love Island over in his home country - parted ways with a break up in 2011.
