Josie Gibson shares cheeky video of Dec Donnelly as she hints at Stephen Mulhern romance
Josie Gibson has shared a cheeky video of Declan Donnelly as she joked about her 'romance' with Stephen Mulhern after the pair were spotted holding hands.
Josie Gibson playfully shared a backstage video of Declan Donnelly zipping around on a tiny scooter, admitting she didn't want Stephen Mulhern to miss out amidst ongoing whispers about their relationship.
The pair, who have been friends for years, sparked speculation of romance when they were photographed looking close and holding hands while heading to the set of Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway's finale. The ITV favourites appeared at ease and joyful in the photo, setting the rumour mill into overdrive.
However, when probed by MailOnline about their relationship status, Josie candidly admitted: "I'm in love with Stephen Mulhern. There you go. But story of my life, I don't think he loves me."
Yet, Josie seemed to stoke the fires of gossip by tagging Stephen in an entertaining clip of Dec enjoying some downtime backstage, scooting on a mini blue scooter. As Dec goofed off in the green room, Josie captioned the video: "I thought you were joking LOL @stephenmulhern", reports the Mirror.
I'm A Celebrity's Josie Gibson, who first captured the nation's heart by winning Big Brother in 2010, is reportedly single after parting ways with her ex Terry.
The couple, who share a six-year-old son named Reggie-James, had a rocky relationship that began in 2017 and ended shortly after welcoming their child in September 2018.
Josie opened up to New! Magazine about the tumultuous end to their romance, revealing that a dispute on New Year's Eve led to Terry throwing her and their son out of the house. "He's got OCD and just after Christmas, he went mad about too many of my shoes being in the hallway", she recalled.
"So I kicked off and said, 'Well, we'll go then! ' And he went, 'Alright', and bagged up our stuff. So Reggie and me headed to a hotel."
The reality TV star has had her fair share of public romances, including a relationship with fellow Big Brother contestant John James Parton, which lasted nearly a year post-show. In 2012, Josie was engaged to Luke Sanwo after a whirlwind six-month romance, but they split three years later.
She explained that the spark they once shared had fizzled out, saying the passion was "virtually non existent".
Stephen, meanwhile, has kept his romantic life generally out of the spotlight. He did date EastEnders actress Emma Barton, known for her role as Honey Mitchell, in 2008.
