BIG Brother’s Josie Gibson lost £250,000 after getting into trouble with her diet business – and piled on the weight after suffering “health issues”.
The 33-year-old has opened up about her difficult past as she reveals she has made serious mistakes with her money.
Revealing shocking details about her financial woes, Josie says they were caused by “trusting the wrong people”.
In her Cash Point column, Josie said: “I’ve made so many money mistakes.
“When I first launched by business Slimmables – a diet plan, I trusted the wrong people and ended up losing a quarter of a million pounds.
“I also lost a lot of money when I had a tenant in my house – I didn’t do tenancy checks and he caused thousands of pounds’ worth of damage, which I had to pay to repair myself.
“All my mistakes seem to boil down to trusting the wrong people, so I’d say be careful who you work with and trust when it comes to money.”
Josie also spoke about her weight gain as she admitted her hormones made her put on three stone in recent months.
But Josie says things are “rosy” as she plans to head back to the gym now she’s feeling better in herself.
She told : “I’m nearly 13 stone again. I’ve had a few health and hormonal issues but it’s all going rosy now so I can go back to the gym.”
