Josie was welcomed back with a fanfare as she opened up about her experience - admitting she is still struggling sleeping.

Wearing a bush hat, white top and sparkling silver skirt, she told Craig: “I still have nightmares now. Who signs up to the jungle with serious phobias?

“It was really scary. I have never seen spiders that big.”

Admitting it was harder than she thought it would be, Josie said she missed son Reggie, 5, the most.

She said: “I was missing Reg, it was a big thing.”

The star thought she was going to overcome her phobia of spiders during her stint, but revealed she was still terrified when she left.

Josie was joined on today’s show by her campmate and I’m A Celeb winner Sam Thompson.

Strictly winner Ellie Leach was also on the show alongside her pro partner Vito Coppola.

Josie's return to the show comes after The Sun revealed she is set to get a 50% pay rise as part of the upcoming This Morning reshuffle.

Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley have been chosen to replace Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby as the new faces of the ITV show.

Josie has had talks to feature more prominently and regularly — which means a bumper new pay packet.

A source said: “Josie will get a new role on the show, and be bumped up to two days a week.”
