This Morning's Josie Gibson says it's an 'absolute juggle' being a single working mum

This Morning's Josie Gibson opened up about being a single working mother and revealed it's 'an absolute juggle'.

The 37-year-old TV presenter has son Reggie-James, who she shares with ex-partner Terry. She welcomed the little one in 2018.

Josie and Terry broke up four months after they welcomed Reggie-James.

Raising the three-year-old can be challenging and she sometimes has to drive him around 'the block to get him asleep to do an interview'.

"It’s an absolute juggle but I make it work. If you’re worried about having a baby, you’ll always make it work, it just happens – you just make it work," she revealed to OK! Magazine.

The presenter previously revealed how she would adopt if she were to have another child.

"I would definitely adopt so Reg has got a brother or sister," she explained to Closer magazine in December last year.

"I haven't got enough time at the moment but, if everything slows down, I'll definitely do it. There are so many kids in the world who need a good home."

She went on to explain how well she and Terry get along and how she wouldn't want to 'bring anyone else into the mix'.

Earlier this month, Josie told Mirror how she juggled working life with spending time with her son.

"My weekend starts with cuddles with my son Reggie," she told Mirror .

"If I’ve got energy after working I’ll cook a meal, but we love going to David Lloyd for some food – it’s walking distance from our house. Then we’ll lie on the sofa, watch a film and snuggle."

The This Morning presenter also admitted that while she enjoys spending quality time with her son, it rarely is relaxing. "Reggie is only three so I never get a lie-in – not even on weekends," she said.

"We’re always up early but we just like to chill at the weekends. It’s Reggie time – we do whatever he wants to do, which usually includes eating out!

"We live in Bristol but we love going out in Bath and we always have a roast dinner on a Sunday. We tend to go out for it, but I do cook a very good roast dinner."
