Put through her paces: Big Brother 11 winner Josie Gibson undergoes a gruelling workout in London


She won Big Brother viewers over with her bubbly personality and down-to-earth attitude.

But it seems Josie Gibson, who was crowned the winner of the 11th series of the reality show, wants a figure that will fit in on the celebrity circuit.

The Size 16 Bristolian, 25, has embarked on a new regime to lose her spare tyre - and such is her determination she is using two personal trainers.

Dressed in a tight black and blue workout outfit, Josie was seen taking part in an energetic workout and taking on an obstacle course in a London park.


Tough: The 25-year-old Bristolian is hoping to shed her excess pounds and slim down from a size 16 to a 12


While her housemates, and boyfriend John James, accepted Josie for who she was during her time in the house, she admitted she felt 'a little bit insecure' about her size and wanted to join a gym when she left the reality TV show.

But despite the photographs of Josie exercising could be misinterpreted as a way for her to sell a fitness DVD when she has slimmed down, she insists she doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of stars including Natalie Cassidy by shedding weight and then putting it back on.


Limbering up: Josie stretched ahead of starting her workout in a London park last week


Showing off some moves: Josie appeared to be dancing with her trainer, having kicked off her trainers to give herself more mobility


She said in a recent interview: 'I couldn’t be one of those size zero women. It wouldn’t suit me. I’d like to be a comfortable 12. But not any smaller.

'You see all these stars and they lose all that weight and it just doesn’t suit them. Take Natalie Cassidy, I think she looks better when she’s got all her curves.

'You’ve got to be the size you are comfortable with and I am a womanly woman. I am a little bit insecure about it.


Giggles: Josie couldn't stop laughing as she tried to do a set of press ups with her TWO trainers


Struggling: While Josie looked as though she was struggling at points, she kept a smile on her face throughout


'I want to lose a little bit of weight - but I love a nice curry, that’s my downfall. I love Jamaican food, a nice bit of curried goat.'

However, Josie's boyfriend John James said despite her admitting one of the reasons she wants to lose weight is to please him, the Australian is adamant he loves Josie however she looks.

He said recently: 'I couldn’t care less what Josie weighs. I love her just the way she is. It’s up to her completely.'


Watch and learn: Josie looks deep in concentration as her trainers talk her through one difficult move


Careful, Josie! The Big Brother winner nearly slips as she does a pull up while holding onto a metal bar


But it's not only a punishing exercise regime Josie wants to stick to - she has also embarked on a strict diet.

Writing on her Twitter page earlier this week, Josie told fans: 'I'm on detox for 6 months', before adding: 'Just had fitness training. Hard work but loving it!!'

However, Josie is struggling somewhat with the food she is allowed to eat, tweeting: 'Mmmmmmm my fav bit of curry goat or brown stew chicken right up my street. Thai food and caribbean food is me fav mmmmm (sic).'


And stretch: Josie and her trainers relax as they cool down at the end of their vigorous workout


Balancing: Josie's trainer ensures she is completing the move properly as she stretches her hamstring


She then added: 'Is dyin for a chocolate bar but on a diet. X x x x'
And, continuing her health kick, Josie is also attempting to quit smoking, and has cut down to just one or two a day.

Meanwhile, Josie's relationship with John James is going from strength to strength.
John James admitted in OK! magazine that he is thrilled to have proved is critics wrong and is already planning how he can take their relationship to the next level.


Giggles: Josie appeared to be enjoying herself during the workout, laughing and dancing with her trainer


Bubbly: Josie won over viewers with her bubbly personality when she appeared on Big Brother


He said: 'I want to take her to Paris and get to the top of the Eiffel Tower with the whole city laid out beneath us and propose to her there. And if she says no, I can jump off the top!'

John James, is planning to move in with Josie in the near future, also said he can't believe how lucky he is to have found his soulmate in the Big Brother house.

He added: 'We think alike, me and Josie. We're the same in our different ways. We just realise it all the time, how alike we are are. Apart from the fact that I am tidy and she is messy.'

It's over! Brian Dowling is the Ultimate Big Brother champion as he wins final series

I did it: Brian Dowling celebrates winning Ultimate Big Brother with the help of host Davina McCall, who earlier announced he was her favourite housemate


His cheeky personality and Irish charm made him a favourite of both the nation and his fellow housemates, never once facing nomination.

And now Brian Dowling has been named the Ultimate Big Brother champion.

The former trolley dolly was the bookies favourite from the moment he returned to the house, proving the 32-year-old was still as popular as when he first won Big Brother 2.

But the real star of last night's five-hour final show was host Davina McCall, who has been with the series since the very beginning back in 2000.



He's done it again: Former trolley dolly, 32, first came to fame when he won Big Brother series 2


Davina laughed and cried as Channel 4 made the most of the final night with an all-singing final show, marking the end of a 10-year reality television partnership.

The channel announced last summer it would not be renewing its deal with programme-maker Endemol.

The reality show may not end, however, as media tycoon Richard Desmond said he was thinking of reviving it when he took over the Five TV network in July.


They're out: Blonde housemates Chantelle and Nikki came third and second



The evening included an emotional video montage to late housemate Jade Goody, who died of cervical cancer aged 27 in 2009.

Davina was moved to tears by the tributes from the reality star's family and friends, saying simply: 'How could we not remember Jade?'

There was also a half-hour tribute to Davina, who revealed her REAL favourite housemate - eventual winner Brian. He's 'kind, funny, naughty,' she said.

She later ended the show by saying: 'I hate to say goodbye so I'm going to say night night.'


Jade Goody remembered: A tearful Davina was comforted as a tribute was screened to the late housemate, who died of cervical cancer


Memories: A fan shows her love for Jade 'the ultimate housemate'


With seven housemates still remaining at the beginning of the night, it was an action packed evening, culminating in Brian's coronation.

Brian looked shocked to triumph again, beating Nikki Grahame in the public vote.

He burst into tears and shouted 'Thank you so much' before dancing down the stairs to greet Davina as fireworks exploded.

He then joked: 'I'm sure you've got it wrong.'


The final fling: Brian celebrates with the help of former housemates Preston, Makosi, Nick, Michelle Bass, Craig, Pete Bennett, and Nikki


Speaking about the impact of the show, he said: 'It's one of the best things I could have ever done. It allowed me to be myself and allowed other people to accept you for who you are.

'The show is also about hope, in the sense that it gives people the opportunity to make their life that little bit better.

'I owe everything to the show, everything.'

Chantelle came third, while Victor, Nasty Nick, Preston and Ulrika had earlier been evicted.


Is love in the air? Both Preston and Chantelle faced uncomfortable questions about their relationship after the divorced couple bonded in the house


Tantrum queen Nikki, who first entered the house in 2006 dressed as a Playboy bunny, told Davina taking part in Ultimate Big Brother 'has meant the absolute world to me'.

'I'm so honoured to have been part of it,' she said.

Nikki said she had now learned to contain her legendary temper, adding: 'I have had to bite my tongue lots of times but I kind of erupted inside.'


One-hit wonder: Samuel Preston, known as Preston, waves to his 'fans'


In third place was Chantelle, who won Celebrity Big Brother in 2006 despite being the only housemate who was not famous.

The Essex glamour girl, who had to pretend to be a singer with fictional pop band Kandy Floss, fell in love with Ordinary Boys singer Preston in the house.

The couple married but split after 10 months and later divorced.


First out: Ulrika Jonsson is interviewed by Davina; despite winning an earlier series she only received a tiny fraction of the vote


They remained friends and viewers hoped they would reconcile during their second stint inside, especially as they marked what would have been their fourth anniversary.

Chantelle, who admitted she still had feelings for Preston, told Davina: 'It's a different outcome now. Obviously we're not going to be together.'

She was often tearful in the house and said: 'It's such a sad situation. I don't think I realised how sad it was until I spent so much time with him.

'I hadn't ever really got over what happened between us.'

Preston remained oblivious to her misery until yesterday when she confessed, anxious that he would hear about it during his post-eviction interview.

'Everyone knows, and even Preston now knows, how I feel,' she said, adding that she planned to 'talk to him properly.'


They're out: New best friends 'Nasty' Nick Bateman and Victor, who bonded inside


Preston, the second to be evicted last night, told McCall Houghton was 'a flipping great girl' but he still remembered why they split up

'It wasn't a Mickey Mouse glossy magazine break-up. It was really dark for both of us and messed us both up quite a lot.'

The now-solo singer, whose full name is Samuel Preston, said the house was not the ideal environment to talk things through but admitted there were 'strong feelings' between them

He told Davina he would also need to talk to his current girlfriend and had 'no idea' how his stint in the house might have affected the relationship.


It's only a gameshow: Nasty Nick makes his point


Celebrity Big Brother 2009 winner Ulrika Jonsson was first out during last night's two-part finale, followed by Preston then 'Nasty' Nick Bateman, who was asked to leave the first series in 2000 for trying to manipulate fellow housemates' eviction votes.

Bateman, wearing a T-shirt bearing the slogan 'It's only a gameshow', said: 'The show has been amazing and I'm very sad this is possibly the last time it's on TV.'

Victor Ebuwa, best known for a huge argument with fellow housemate Emma Greenwood during Big Brother 5, was fourth to leave.



I'm the REAL star: Davina rejected her usual style in place of a glittery red dress; she later changed into a more typical black outfit
