Josie has piled on the pounds and this week she was pictured wearing an ill-advised skimpy red bikini, as she soaked up the sun in the Spanish resort Marbella

It looks like Josie Gibson has turned to junk food, to help mend her broken heart.

The former Big Brother winner split from Australian hunk John James Parton in March and within weeks, he had moved on and found himself another woman.

Since becoming single, Josie has piled on the pounds and this week she was pictured wearing an ill-advised skimpy red bikini, as she soaked up the sun in the Spanish resort Marbella.



The Sun published a series of unflattering pictures of the buxom blonde this afternoon and we were quite shocked to see her looking so heavy, after she shed so much weight earlier this year.

Josie was said to be devastated earlier this week, when John James was pictured walking hand in hand with his new woman Sherrie Cobley.

A friend told Now magazine: ‘These pictures will break her heart.

‘In many ways, him being on the other side of the world has made it easier for her to cope with her heartache.

‘But these photos will only bring home the fact that her relationship is over for good and Sherrie and John James are serious.’
