Josie Gibson on co-parenting
Back in June, Josie revealed she was back living with Reggie’s dad during lockdown.
The lovable star welcomed Terry back into her Bristol home to help her look after their son.
During an appearance on Loose Women, Josie told the panel that she and Terry had “never got on so well.”
However, the coronavirus pandemic had made her appreciate what’s important in life.

She said: “He’s one of those people you can’t live with, but can’t live without. We were really scared because he’s severely asthmatic – he finds it hard to breathe at the best of times.
“We waited for three weeks and none of us had any symptoms. On the fourth week I learnt about the viral load – so I couldn’t take Reggie to the supermarket any more, so I said: ‘You’re going to have to move in.’
“So he’s moved in and it’s only taken a pandemic and a year-and-a-half and we’ve never got on so well.”
Josie added: “We still stay in separate rooms but yeah, I love him to bits.”
