The TV star told MailOnline that she no longer feels ‘sexy’ and only sees herself as a ‘working mum’ now her body is at an ‘uncomfortable size’.
She explained: ‘I have obviously been big my whole life – I have always been one of those people that’s struggled with my weight.

‘I would like to be a comfortable 12 or a 12-14. I would be so happy with that. I have been a size 8. I don’t think it suits me and it’s a lot of work to get there so I just need to find that happy medium. A size 12 would be ideal.’
Josie, who is the new ambassador for weight loss brand WW, admitted her biggest vice is bread – but she hopes incorporating yoga as well as HITT training into her schedule will help to eliminate her unhealthy urges.
She said: ‘I remember feeling so fit and healthy and I had so much clarity and nothing was a chore. I have gone back to my old unhealthy eating habits.
‘Because I have got so big, I am really feeling it in my joints now. Yoga is going to be a big part of my journey. I was all about HITT before but now I’m going to have a blance with it all.’
