Josie Gibson has revealed her scars after undergoing arm lift surgery. The This Morning star had to undergo an operation following a painful health battle and has now shown the aftermath in a new advertisement.
Josie Gibson's Scar Revelation
As she promoted Wild deodorant’s latest offer on Instagram, the 41-year-old presenter was seen wearing a black exercise bra top and a pair of leggings. In the clip, Josie holds up the roll-on deodorants, with her huge scar on display. At one point, she lifted her arm to use the roll-on, revealing her surgery scars underneath.
She previously revealed she required surgery after suffering with lipoedema. Josie admitted she is “constantly fighting my genetics.”
Lipoedema Battle
In January, she opened up further about the condition. Speaking to This Morning co-stars Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley, she said: “I’ve been to see a lot of experts… I’ve been to Berlin to see one, I’ve seen three in London. And basically they said it’s when your body holds onto fat differently. I said, ‘I train, I don’t feel like I overeat, I’m fit and healthy’. They said, ‘you can train seven days a week – you won’t get rid of lipedema fat like that’.”
She has since had liposuction and an arm lift. The surgeries are not the only time she has been under the knife in recent years. Josie underwent surgery last September on her calves. She said at the time: “What they do is they’ve got this stuff for lipoedema now where they do this lipo treatment and they burn your skin on the inside so your skin tightens together again. I’ve only done my calves and it’s split into sections, you can’t do it all at once. But it’s a lot of money each time, I think I paid over £7,000 for just my calves.”
Weight Loss Journey
Josie also recently revealed how she lost five stone in six months. She explained she stuck to four strict guidelines to help. In her book, 'The Josie Gibson Diet', she details the four fundamental steps she followed, stating: “I didn't get a gastric bypass; I got off my big a**e, moved more, ate less, and educated myself on what I was stuffing into my body.”
This marks not the first time Josie has discussed her weight loss experience. Back in 2024, she shared how a major lifestyle overhaul came after welcoming her son, Reggie, in 2018. Then, she said that she completely cut refined sugars from her meals. She revealed she chose only those found naturally in fruit instead.
Speaking to the Mirror, Josie recognised that being overly strict proved unsustainable. She admitted that permitting herself some leeway was crucial for genuinely enjoying her life. She explained: “So I did the six-day plan on Do The Unthinkable, which entitled me to one day off. Now on that one day off, I had one cheat meal - I didn't go crazy and drink 10 bottles of wine and binge all day on food and chocolate and all the naughty things I haven't been having, I just had my one cheat and that was it.”
