Josie also revealed the dynamics of her relationship with ex-boyfriend Terry.
She explained how they share their time with their son, with him taking Reggie ‘two to three’ nights a week and Josie taking him for the others.
There is no animosity between the two, it seems, as Josie admitted: ‘I could never have done what I did if it wasn’t for Terry.’
Last month, Josie shared a cryptic caption about “liars and cheaters,” a week after admitting she was in love with her mysterious new boyfriend.
The presenter took to Instagram to share a photo of herself looking as stylish as ever and wrote a cryptic message alongside her post.
She dedicated her post to people with “high values” and wrote about “liars and cheaters” in her mysterious caption. She did not confirm what she was referring to.
Josie wrote: ‘Sometimes in life you get liars and cheaters, and the great thing about strong women is that they don’t get defeated.
“This goes out to everyone with morals, integrity, high values and self-respect.”

Josie went on to thank Coronation Street actress Claire Sweeney for introducing her to a denim brand from her OOTD.
In the stunning snaps, the This Morning co-host cut a chic figure in a short-sleeved denim jumpsuit as she braved a storm.
She completed the stylish ensemble with a pair of pointed heels and a gold chain.
A week earlier, Josie revealed her love for a mystery man during an appearance on Shopping with Keith Lemon.
She told Keith that they were in the early stages of the relationship, but it seemed to be going from strength to strength, as she explained: “There’s someone in my life right now, but it’s still in the early stages.
‘It’s that bit that gives you the creeps, you can’t wait to see it – it makes you a bit nervous.’
Josie also shared that she never had much luck with “small talk” when she was single.
‘I never talk, but you know what?
“I hated it when they banned wolf whistling because I always liked wolf whistling,” she joked.

The couple set the rumor mill going in January when they posted a cozy photo together holding hands in front of the Eiffel Tower.
But Josie took to her Instagram Stories to quash the rumor, saying: ‘I’m going to take a nap because I’m so tired of this story. I’m not in a relationship and I’m not in love with cameraman Sam.
‘I’m not with Sam Morter. I love Sam Morter, he is my colleague.
‘I look like his older sister. I’m just like his aunt. That’s as far as it goes.’
A visibly furious Josie repeated: ‘There’s nothing going on between me and Sam Morter. I don’t know how many times I have to say it!’
The new romance came after Josie reportedly signed up for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here after finding herself in a bidding war between ITV and BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing.
