Letting her locks fall loose down her shoulders, Stephen’s concert companion accessorised with gold jewelry and carried her belongings in a gold metallic handbag. 

The outing comes after Stephen addressed Josie Gibson romance rumours in May during an appearance on This Morning. 

He broke his silence as he faced an awkward grilling about his rumoured romance with the former Big Brother winner.

After Stephen was caught holding hands with Josie backstage at Saturday Night Takeaway earlier this year rumours started to spiral that they were a secret item. 

But with neither of them confirming or denying the rumours, This Morning hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard couldn’t resist stirring the pot during his latest interview.

While promoting his book, Max Magic, Stephen was seen making use of the ASMR area set up and Ben took the opportunity to take a cheeky swipe at him saying he was acting at home because he was ‘with one of our own’.

Sitting up straight from a massage table, Stephen laughed off the comment and told Ben to ‘shut his face’ before they went to an AD break.

The show continued smoothly but at the end of Steven’s interview, Cat and Ben bought up the rumours once again forcing the Deal Or No Deal host to address them.

He said: ‘Listen, she didn’t turn up to rehearsals, I held her hand and I showed her where to stand. That is it. Finito!.’

‘Uh-huh, really. Your lips are sealed?’ poked Cat, while Ben said, ‘Me thinks he protest too much.’

The ITV presenters couldn’t hold back their laughter as a red-faced Steven asked: ‘Why are you doing this to me?! Unbelievable!’

After being pictured walking hand-in-hand, Josie joked to MailOnline: ‘I’m in love with Stephen Mulhern. There you go. But story of my life, I don’t think he loves me.’

It comes after Josie revealed she has to be in love with someone to kiss them and says she tends to only fall in love once every seven or eight years.

Josie has previously denied there is anything romantic going on with Stephen as she admitted she isn’t looking for love, or even anything casual right now. 

‘To be with somebody or to even kiss somebody, I’ve really got to love them,’ she explained to OK! Magazine.

‘I’ve really got to be into them. I can’t give my energy over when I’m not completely into it.’

She added that she has only experienced love in in the past a handful of times, insisting: ‘You know when you get that magic connection? For me it only comes around like once every seven or eight years.’

Following a string of unsuccessful relationships, Josie confessed that she lives in fear of being left devastated again by another failed romance. Stephen meanwhile has always been guarded about his personal life. 

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, she admitted that her past heartaches are the root of her issues, as she said: ‘Do you know what? I just can’t have my heart broken again like I just can’t do it. I always meet them and like they’re not very good’.

Her time in the spotlight has seen her embroiled in a number of romances, including her Big Brother boyfriend John James Parton, from her 2010 stint in the house, ex-fiancé Luke Sanwo and her baby daddy Terry. 

Josie, who shares her son Reggie, five, with ex-partner Terry, declared her single status just days after joking about her unrequited love for fellow TV star Stephen.  

The stunner detailed how she juggles her time between her TV work in London, including presenting This Morning, and living with Reggie in Bath. 

In light of her current romantic state, she said: ‘If I was to meet somebody – one, it wouldn’t be fair on them. Because I can’t give them the time that they need, and two, I’ve got my little boy, and I will never get that time back..

‘So if I’m taking time away from my little boy and spending it on something that may or may not work out. I’m gonna really regret that.’ 

Josie soared to fame after winning Big Brother’s 11th season in 2010 leading to various brand deals and a hugely successful weight loss path.

She insists that romance is not currently an option for her due to bringing up Reggie, who she amicably co-parents with Terry, who she deems a fantastic dad.

John James Parton

Josie’s career in the public eye was launched by a popular stint in the Big Brother house in 2010 which saw her win series 11 of the show, at the age of 25.

A big part of her journey on the then-Channel 4 show was hitting it off with housemate John James Parton.

The pair dated for just shy of a year after their release from the Big Brother house.

When they went their separate ways, Josie told the Daily Star: ‘We spent every minute of the day with each other in the Big Brother house and moved in straight away after leaving the show.

‘We didn’t want to be apart. But the honeymoon period was over. We argued all the time. John wanted me to stop weeing with the toilet door open and I wanted him to stop moaning and to see things from my point of view.’

John went on to star in Love Island Australia in 2018, with Josie telling Daily Mail Australia: ‘He doesn’t want a girlfriend, he’s just fame hungry. He’s the most manipulative and calculated person I’ve ever met.

‘I thought we were in love but all he would ever talk about were the magazine deals and photoshoots.’

Ex-fiancé Luke Sanwo

Shortly after splitting from John, Josie was in a new relationship with plumber Luke Sanwo, who she met at the SW4 music festival on London’s Clapham Common.

In 2012, after just six months, Luke popped the question and the pair got engaged. 

After a tumultuous few years involving a number of temporary break-ups, they finally decided to go their separate ways in April 2015. 

Josie told new! Magazine at the time: ‘Me and Luke have had a chat and we’re going to take a break from our relationship. 

‘The passion is slowly drifting and now it’s virtually non-existent. I feel like it’s the right thing to do at the moment.’

In 2023, Luke recalled a heated spat just before the split where he claims Josie wielded a machete the pair used to cut meat at barbecues.

However, he told The Sun: ‘I was shocked and amazed but I didn’t feel in danger. I know she didn’t intend me any harm.’

Ex-boyfriend Terry

Two years after the split from Luke, Josie got into a relationship with a property developer and family friend called Terry.

The couple had actually known each other for two decades before they got together and went on to welcome a son, Reggie, in September 2018.

But five months after Reggie was born, the pair split up.

In a previous interview with new! Magazine, Josie revealed that Terry had kicked her out on New Year’s Eve in 2018 after an argument.

‘He’s got OCD and just after Christmas, he went mad about too many of my shoes being in the hallway,’ she explained.

‘So I kicked off and said, ‘Well, we’ll go then!’ And he went, ‘Alright’, and bagged up our stuff. So Reggie and me headed to a hotel.’ 

However, the pair moved back in together at the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, in order to co-parent during lockdown. 

When restrictions were lifted, they went their separate ways once again.

Is Josie Gibson single?

Josie sparked rumours of a fresh romance in August 2023, with cameraman Sam Morter (seen with Josie) touted as her new flame, but Josie shut these down

While Josie shut down rumours of romance with Dancing On Ice host Stephen, she did hint at a new flame in August 2023.

On Shopping With Keith Lemon she revealed ‘there is someone in my life at the moment but it’s early stages’, but has been tight-lipped on their identity.

Rumours circulated that the mystery man was cameraman Sam Morter, who has appeared with the TV star a number of times on her social media, but these murmurs were swiftly put to bed.

More speculation came in November when Josie shared a cosy snap with hairdresser Maurice Flynn, with the caption: ‘One of the best meals I’ve ever had in my entire existence. If you ever get the chance @lavolondon in Marylebone London is the one.

‘The company was delicious too!! What an amazing evening.. I felt like I was in heaven! @mauriceflynn @lavolondon Thank you.’ 

However, by the end of that year, in an episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! she revealed that she was single again.

‘I’ve got to find a boyfriend after this,’ Josie said in the Bush Telegraph as she spoke of her embarrassment at breaking wind in front of her campmates.
