“Some women treat themselves to designer handbags, and some women treat themselves to hyperbaric oxygen chambers.” This light-hearted line by Josie Gibson has left fans intrigued, but it’s not the only thing making headlines about the star right now. The This Morning regular recently revealed that she’s undergoing an alternative form of healing for a mysterious health condition, and fans are desperate to know more. But with only snippets of information trickling through, the question on everyone’s mind is: what exactly is Josie Gibson dealing with?
In a captivating Instagram story posted just days ago, Josie, 41, gave her 782,000 followers a sneak peek into her unconventional treatment. With a peace sign and a radiant smile, she revealed herself inside a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, mask in place. This form of therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment, and while it’s typically used for serious conditions like carbon monoxide poisoning or decompression sickness, Josie’s reason for turning to this treatment remains shrouded in mystery.
The video was as much about her health as it was a playful jab at herself: “Some women treat themselves to designer handbags, and some women treat themselves to hyperbaric oxygen chambers,” she quipped. But what exactly prompted Josie to turn to this ‘alternative healing’ method? Fans have flooded the comment sections with questions, but Josie has kept her cards close to her chest. Could it be a long-term health struggle that she’s only now confronting? Or perhaps, something more sinister?
Though Josie hasn’t revealed the details behind her condition, one thing is for sure: the This Morning star has always had a knack for making the unexpected seem fun. From her TV antics to her effortless charm, Josie’s authenticity has earned her the unwavering love of fans. Still, seeing her in such a vulnerable position—undergoing therapy and sharing snippets of a journey that is clearly personal—has left fans both concerned and curious.
But wait—this isn’t the only thing keeping Josie in the spotlight right now. Just days after her oxygen chamber update, The Sun reported that Josie is in talks to appear on Strictly Come Dancing 2026. A source revealed that negotiations are progressing well between Josie and the BBC bosses, who are convinced that Josie’s down-to-earth charm is exactly what the revamped show needs. With the show’s new look in mind, it’s easy to see why producers think she could be the perfect fit. She’s warm, engaging, and just the type of personality that could help bring in viewers from all walks of life.
If that wasn’t enough, ITV has also just announced a brand-new show that will see Josie in a new light. How To Clean Up For Cash, a six-part series set to air later this month, will showcase Josie as she helps overwhelmed families declutter their homes and discover hidden treasures. Partnering with antiques expert Dan Hatfield and decluttering specialist Jacqueline McLeod, Josie will dive into people’s homes without them knowing the true purpose of the show—sorting through their possessions, finding out what’s worth keeping, and what’s worth cashing in on.
This new project promises not just heartwarming moments, but also plenty of surprises. Josie has expressed how much the show means to her, stating, “It’s not just about decluttering; it’s about bringing people together.” In a world where TV shows are often all about drama and spectacle, How To Clean Up For Cash promises a refreshing, relatable twist.
But through all the new projects, the underlying story remains about Josie’s health journey. What’s really going on behind the scenes? Why is she turning to such alternative methods for healing? And will fans ever get the full story?
As Josie continues to shine on our screens and take on new challenges, her health battle—and her decision to keep it private—remains an intriguing and emotional mystery. One thing is clear: Josie Gibson is a star who’s not afraid to fight for her well-being and keep entertaining us along the way.
