Loose Women viewers left gagging after Josie Gibson shows off excess skin removed after tummy tuck

LOOSE Women viewers were left horrified after Josie Gibson showed off the excess skin doctors had removed during her tummy tuck.

The former Big Brother star had 6lbs of her skin removed after losing an incredible seven stone through diet and exercise.

The gross shot left host Andrea McClean admitting she had to shut her eyes, while the audience groaned.

Some viewers felt the same and were grossed out by the picture of Josie's excess skin following the op.

One wrote: “Eughh, I was eating my lunch when that photo of 6lb fat was shown.”

Another tweeted: “OMG! How disgusting.”

Josie was more relaxed about the picture however, telling the group: “I was 6lbs as a baby - I've had a baby me cut away.”

Josie also spent time showing off her new look body, including her belly button which she had nicknamed Herbert.

Although she had the operation nine weeks ago, Josie is only just starting to find her feet after admitting she felt “depressed" after the procedure.

She said: “I couldn’t stop crying, I was crying my eyes out.

“You get quite depressed after surgery, you don’t realise how much you do when you get told to slow down.”

Before she appeared on the show, the show's Jane Moore and Nadia Sawalha held up a piece of pizza dough that weighed the same amount as Josie's excess skin - an incredible 6lbs.

Josie opened up about the procedure – which was filming for Channel 5’s Botched Bodies – in last week's New! magazine.

She said: “I was so nervous, because I was on my own.

“Then I woke up and I looked down and could just see flatness.

“I was like ‘Whoa! I can see my vagina in full vision!’”

The pretty blonde – who now can’t wait to wear a bikini – continued: “I’ve had 6lbs of skin cut away! But I’m probably several pounds heavier than I was because I’ve not done any exercise.

“I was 10 10lbs before the operation and now I’m 11st 5lb. And I reckon I am a big size 12.”

Josie was warned not to get a tummy tuck if she was planning on having children but the star who is in a ‘complicated’ relationship with former fiancé Luke Sanwo decided to take the risk.

She said: “I thought ‘What if I don’t ever have any children?’ They’re not on the menu. It’s like waiting around for a steak when you’re in a vegetarian restaurant.”

The Bristolian beauty revealed she was planning a tummy tuck during an appearance on Loose Women earlier this year.

“I have been left with all this skin,” she told the panel. “The only thing I can do with it is cut it away.

“You only live once you might as well have the body you want to have.”
