Meanwhile, the sad news follows shortly after Josie opened up on her weight loss.
The This Morning star has recently dropped down to a size 14, all despite the stress of last year’s lockdown.
And she credits her two-year-old son Reggie for helping her shift the pounds.
Josie’s weight loss battle
According to Josie, she began focusing on her health for the sake of little Reggie.
It came after the star admitted to gaining weight throughout the pandemic.
She told OK! Magazine: “I started at a size 18 to 20 in lockdown and I now fluctuate between 14 to 16.”

She added: “I couldn’t keep up with Reggie – it was embarrassing. I remember running through Bath trying to catch him, so I did it to make me a better mum.
“But I can catch him now and I feel more healthy, I’ve got more energy. My skin, outlook and brain are better, too. I can do more active things with Reggie now.”
Josie famously lost six stone in 2013.
