I’m A Celeb star Josie Gibson cruelly mum-shamed by trolls after being reunited with son Reggie

But he looks very proud of his mum!

I’m A Celeb star Josie Gibson was reportedly cruelly mum-shamed following her post-jungle camp reunion with son Reggie.

This Morning co-host Josie Gibson made it to the last four campmates of the 2023 series. However, she was voted out just before the final.

While Josie fans may have been disappointed she didn’t make it to the series finale and battle it out to become Queen of the Jungle, the former Big Brother winner enjoyed a touching reunion with her five-year-old.

However, according to reports, Josie suffered digs from I’m A Celeb fans who lashed out at the mum and son being separated while she was participating in the ITV reality show.
