Josie Gibson: 'John James made fun of me'

Josie Gibson has claimed that ex-boyfriend John James Parton manipulated her.

The Big Brother 11 winner said that the 25-year-old Australian constantly made fun of her.

She told Now: "He put me through so many mind games. He used to go on about my weight all the time. He would take the p*ss out of my looks and make me feel ugly. He used to tell me I was thick."

The 26-year-old, who is now starring in her own reality show There's Something About Josie, said that she accepts that not everyone will like her and is not willing to waste her time on those who don't.

She added: "I can only be myself and I can't always be everyone's cup of tea.

"I think I'm a bit like Marmite, really. People either love me or f**king hate me. If people like me, they like me; if they don't - they can f**k off!"
