Josie Gibson has baffled neighbours about why she has stayed put, despite her lucrative TV career.
The This Morning presenter, 41, moved into a caravan with her son Reggie, seven, last year while extensive renovations are done on her home.
Insiders say Josie, who found fame on Big Brother, is happy to shun fame and 'happily live in a caravan forever' but would love to have a partner.
It comes as fans' hopes Josie had found love after the world's hottest farrier' was spotted cosying up to her at Cheltenham earlier this month were dashed, as it was revealed he is engaged.
A source told The Sun: 'Josie will sing it from the rooftops: she wants to settle down with a nice man and give her son a stable family life.
'You can tell from the way she talks she’s been burned in the past, but she’s still optimistic, she is someone who loves being in love and often gives relationship advice to those going through it.'

They added Josie 'doesn't need mansion or expensive things' to be happy, but is still working towards finding a man she can 'truly rely on'.
Daily Mail has contacted Josie's representatives for comment.
Earlier this month, Josie set tongues wagging when she was pictured alongside social media star Sam Wolfenden while presenting This Morning at the races together.
Fans had hoped this could be a new romance for the Big Brother star, however it's now been reported that Sam is very much taken, and is in fact engaged to his childhood sweetheart Grace Richardson.
It's thought that the couple, who met at school and got engaged in 2019, share a daughter together.
Sources claimed Samuel has kept his relationship secret from his social media following to boost his profile as a hunky farrier.
Meanwhile, Josie is documenting the renovation of her home on her show Josie Gibson's Big Country Build.
A neighbour told the publication: 'Josie’s a funny one. Everyone around here always asks her why she stayed put when she could have the life most of us can only dream of. But she laughs it off and always says this is the life she dreams of.'
They added it was 'rare to come across someone so famous who you can genuinely tell doesn’t care about all of that.'
