Josie Gibson has reportedly sparked fears she could quit I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! after crying over missing her son.
The This Morning host, 38, is said to have been ‘struggling’ in camp over the past few days, which comes after Jamie Lynn Spears and Grace Dent both left the jungle.
And in Friday night’s episode, Josie broke down in tears over missing her son Reggie, five, and said she ‘shouldn’t have ever left him this long’.
A show source told The Mirror: ‘She has really struggled in the last couple of days. It may just be a phase but it is worrying so far from the finish line.
‘She has seen others walk away too which may make it easier for her to throw the towel in if the next couple of days don’t go well.’

It comes after Jamie Lynn Spears dramatically exited the show on ‘medical grounds’ after having a difficult time in the camp and crying over missing her daughters Maddie, 15, and Ivey, five.
Grace Dent also left the Australian jungle after ‘losing all her energy’ in camp, with a show spokesperson confirming that she had exited on ‘medical grounds’.
MailOnline has contacted Josie’s representatives and ITV for comment.
In scenes on Friday, Josie was overcome with emotion as she broke down in tears in the toilet as emotions ran high in the camp.
Danielle Harold went to check on Josie as she heard her crying in the toilet, and after asking if she could enter, she asked: ‘What’s the matter?’
Struggling to control her tears, Josie sniffed: ‘I just miss my little boy. I shouldn’t have ever left him this long.’
Josie’s son Reggie, five, has been staying with his father Terry Bond while the presenter is in the jungle. The pair started dating in 2017 but split in 2018 when Reggie was five months old.
Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, Josie then admitted: ‘Just had a little wobble. You just feel very guilty. I’ll never leave him this long again, ever.’
It won’t be long until Josie will be reunited with her son as this Sunday marks the start of their final week in camp.

Reggie has touched down at Brisbane Airport for his first trip to Australia to ensure he’s there to greet his mother at the bridge when she leaves I’m A Celebrity.
Sporting a Team Josie T-shirt while sitting on a baggage trolley, Reggie proudly declared: ‘I think that my mummy’s going to win’.
Reggie, who is used to sleeping with his mother every night, was joined by the This Morning presenter’s best friend Mia Williams, also from Bristol, who has been looking after Reggie and her son Romey Williams for the journey.
The trio touched down at Brisbane Airport at 9.45am and Mia said: ‘He’s coped really well considering she’s been gone for a couple of weeks now.
‘It’s the longest they’ve been apart, it’s obviously tough all around but he’s been dealing with it well but it’s tough for her you can see that.
‘She is missing him but she’s doing it for him – she wants him to see her on the TV.’
