Josie Gibson, known for her appearances on This Morning and her stint on I’m A Celebrity, has faced harsh criticism from viewers after expressing her struggle with being away from her son while participating in the reality show. Gibson, who finished in fourth place, was finally reunited with her five-year-old son Reggie after her time in the jungle.
Reunion with Reggie
Reggie flew to Australia to greet his mother as she walked over the famous treetop bridge and left the set. However, some viewers took issue with Gibson, a single mother, lamenting her temporary separation from her only child. One viewer commented, “During COVID, people didn’t get to see family or anyone for such a long time, and they complain about being away from family for a month and being paid an enormous amount of money…”
Joyful Reunion
Despite the criticism, many viewers were delighted to see Gibson and Reggie reunited after a month apart. As Gibson gave her son a big hug moments after leaving the camp, one viewer wrote on Instagram, “Aww, look how happy he is to have his mom back.” Another viewer commented, “This made me cry, gutted you were not in the final three.”
A Mother’s Emotions
In her final days in the camp, Gibson expressed her sadness about being away from her son. She tearfully told her campmate, Danielle Harold, “I just miss my little boy. I shouldn’t have ever left him this long.” Harold reassured her, saying, “100 percent you should. You’re showing him that you’re a strong mom, a strong woman. So proud of you, babe.”
Gibson made her way to the Bush Telegraph and vowed that it would be the first and last time she spent this much time away from her son. She said, “Just had a little wobble. You just feel very guilty. I’ll never leave him this long again, ever.”
After being voted out, Gibson returned to the celebs’ five-star hotel and hugged her co-stars, including ex-EastEnder Danielle Harold and jockey Frankie Dettori. Reggie was then seen running towards Gibson from the car and grabbing her leg to give her a cuddle.
Throughout her time in the jungle, Gibson’s emotions and longing for her son resonated with many viewers, who praised her for being a strong mother and expressed their happiness at her reunion with Reggie.
