Big Brother winner Josie Gibson has called her experiences on the reality show “a doddle” compared to self-isolation.

The Bristol-born star broke down in tears during an appearance on ITV’s This Morning today (3 April), in which she expressed her struggles while alone with her one-year-old son, Reggie.

“I found Big Brother an absolute doddle compared to this,” she admitted. “I will never, ever, ever take human interaction for granted again.”

“I’m isolating with just me and Reg,” she continued. “I was thinking yesterday, when you cuddle someone, you hug somebody, those moments are so special.”

Gibson was appearing on the show via webcam, along with former Big Brother presenter Davina McCall and Celebrity Big Brother participant Vanessa Feltz, all of whom spoke about their recent experiences.

Months after her victory, she competed on Ultimate Big Brother, Channel 4’s “greatest hits” edition of the reality show. She would walk out of the series after three days.
