Josie Gibson broke down in tears over guilt of not being with her young son on the latest episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
The This Morning star, 38, has four-year-old son Reggie with ex Terry, and has now been away from her child for close to two weeks after arriving in the jungle.
While Jamie Lynn Spears wept over missing her family almost as soon as she arrived on I’m A Celeb, Josie had appeared to be keeping it together, but on Friday’s episode was left in tears as she admitted feeling guilty.
She was heard crying in the toilet by the camp as Friday’s episode kicked off, with campmate Danielle Harold hearing her sobs and coming to help.
‘I just miss my little boy, I shouldn’t have ever left him this long,’ an emotional Josie told Danielle with a shaking voice.
Danielle was having none of it, insisting: ‘100% you should, you’re showing him that you’re a strong mum, a strong woman.’

Adding that she was ‘so proud’ of her friend, Danielle added: ‘I hate seeing you upset. You’re the best mum.’
Josie later told the Bush Telegraph she was having ‘a little wobble’ as ‘you just feel very guilty.’
‘I’ll never leave him this long again, ever.’

Josie welcomed little Reggie in September 2018 after her waters broke while in a dance-off at her own baby shower.
She has spoken out multiple times about her love for her son and previously said she would have 10 kids if she could.
Appearing on Loose Women, Josie spoke about how ‘scary’ she found becoming a single parent when Reggie was just three months old, after she and Terry split just after Christmas in 2018.
‘When you’re a single parent it’s so scary, the first bit is so scary because you think “I’m on my own” and panic sets in,’ she said.
I’m A Celebrity returns to ITV at 9pm on Saturday.
