Josie has spoken
Last updated 22nd Apr 2024
They are two of the most popular names on TV right now, featuring on the likes of I'm A Celeb, This Morning, and Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, and lately, Josie Gibson and Stephen Mulhern have sparked rumours they are dating.
The pair, who have known each other for a number of years, got tongues wagging last week after being spotted holding hands whilst spending time together backstage during the final episode of Saturday Night Takeaway.
The Mail Online later questioned Josie about the potential romance, where the 39-year-old quipped: "I'm in love with Stephen Mulhern. There you go. But story of my life, I don't think he loves me."
HOWEVER, Josie has now put the rumours to bed during a chat with OK! Magazine, where she said: "Stephen? Oh, he's so lovely. We are really good friends, I really adore him, but there's no romance in the air.
"But he's so nice. Every bloke that I come in contact with, the press seems to think that I'm having it off with them. People must think I'm a right goer. I'm not like that."
Going on to reveal what she's looking for in relationship, the new face of Iceland said: "To be with somebody or to even kiss somebody, I've really got to love them. I've really got to really be into them. I can't give my energy over when I'm not completely into it. You know when you get that magic connection?
"For me, it only comes around like once every seven years or eight years. I love the love, because those are very, very special moments when you find them."
Following her split from property developer Terry, who is the father of her beloved son Reggie, Josie seemingly confessed she was dating somebody new last year.
Chatting to Keith Lemon on Shopping with Keith Lemon, the former Big Brother winner said: "There is someone in my life at the moment but it's early stages. It's that bit where you've got the flutters, can't-wait-to see-them vibes, you get a little bit nervous.
"I've said I love you. It's best to just get it out of the way, I don't like playing games."
However, it now sounds like Josie is single.
