Big Brother star Josie Gibson insists she's feeling better than ever thanks to her happy romance with property developer Terry

She looked happy and content as she splashed about in a bikini on the beach in the Cotswold last week, after revealing to Closer that she'd gained two stone of "happy fat" since being with property developer boyfriend Terry.

And pals say Josie Gibson has credited her 47-year old partner – who she started dating last summer – for helping her find the body confidence she's craved for years.

For her stint in the jungle in 2004, Jordan opted for practical corn rows and clear skin, but those shower scenes relaunched her career and set her firmly on a reality TV trajectory

Fresh out of the jungle and with a new man in the form of 90's pop sensation Peter Andre on her arm, Katie was all about the matchingoutfits. She ditched the braids and slap-free face for a more high maintenance look.

A new mum to second son Junior, Katie was quickly back in her knickers on the red carpet, sporting a noticeably slimmer nose and smoother skin.

As she prepared to welcome baby number three (her first daughter, Princess Tiaami), Jordan was looking more than a little like her impending arrival. Weird or what?

Now mainly known as Katie Price, she admitted after confirming her nose job, "I've always had a thing about my nose."I haven't had a full 100% nose job. They shaved the bone – they didn't break my nose. In fact, I liked my nose before and now. If I had a cupboard with both noses, I'd alternate between them!"

At 30, Katie was still young but already a fan of fillers."I get my forehead and around my eyes Botoxed every six months and I love it. You can't beat it," she said.

She's not been shy about the work she's had done on her teeth, either. "I didn't do it for cosmetics, I fell off a skateboard and cracked my teeth when I was younger," she admitted."They were so expensive. When I was in the US, I watched Extreme Makeover and went to see the dentist on there – $150,000 my bloody teeth cost me."

She was also one of the pioneers of lip fillers, sporting the plumped up pout that's so very mainstream these days.

By 2014, the boobs were most definitely BACK, as was a painfully taught-looking face.

As her facial muscles relaxed back to normal, her hair followed suit and Katie looked happier and more natural than she had in a while when she got together with Kieran Hayler.

Katie went into the CBB house in 2015 and admitted having her boobs reduced – but that things hadn't gone exactly to plan."They were going to take them out on Monday," she told her shocked housemates. "My implant was hanging out in New Year's Day. But it hasn't stopped me coming in, because I'm not running around."

A botched botox job left Katie feeling 'ugly' in 2017."I absolutely hated it... the only thing I could do to sort it out was to remove the threads and then have a face lift. I never ever wanted a face lift at my age - I would have had one in years to come, but I didn't want one this young,"

She eventually returned the Brussels-based surgeon who fixed her botched boobs back in 2015.

By 2018 her face was back to normal, but not before shocking pictures emerged of her post surgery in Belgium, her face wrapped in bandaged and surgical fluid tubes hanging off her head.

A source says, "Josie knows she's put on weight but she's completely relaxed her diet since getting together with Terry last year.

"Josie used to obsess about everything she ate and was so rigid with her diet. She would cut back on carbs, meat and dairy and being really strict with every mouthful. But now she's stopped worrying about her weight.

"She's told pals she's the happiest and most content she's ever been. She's been wishing to feel this comfortable in her own skin for years."

The 2010 Big Brother winner went through one of the biggest body transformations in showbiz, famously shedding six stone in 2012 - dropping from a size 20 to a six 6 – through a healthy diet and regular workouts. She then underwent a tummy tuck to remove the excess skin a year later.

But opening up to Closer in February, the 5ft 11 star appeared relaxed when she revealing she was now size 12-14 and weighed around 12st 8lbs.

She insisted, "I'm the biggest I've been since I lost all of the weight, but I think quite a lot of it is happy fat! Terry makes me feel amazing and I know he loves me whatever I look like."

Aww!
