She's become known for being a yo-yo dieter and famously managed to shed a whopping seven stone after going on a major health kick.
But reality star Josie Gibson, who found fame after winning Big Brother in 2010, has struggled to maintain her slimmed down frame, with the pounds slowly creeping back on.
Having weighed 10st 7lbs at her lightest, Josie, 32, turned to Channel 5's Diet Secrets and How to Lose Weight after putting 2st back on, taking up its challenge to road-test a gruelling ketogenic diet.
But after four weeks of 'torture' sticking to the high-fat, low-carb plan, the Bristol-born reality star was furious to learn that not only had she dropped just a single kilo after her efforts, she had also gained body fat.
Josie, a vegetarian who resorted to eating chicken while on the restricted plan, said it had left her constipated and 'farting like a pig', and declared after her weigh-in on the show: 'I hate the keto diet'.

After four weeks a disappointed Josie learned she had lost just one kilo in weight, losing muscle mass and gaining fat mass
Revisiting Westminster University where she was weighed and measured at the beginning of the experiment, she gasped as she learned her results after the challenge.
In four weeks Josie was told she had only lost a kilogram in weight, and had lost muscle mass while gaining fat mass.
'Is that it!' she exclaimed afterwards, before admitting how she really felt about the challenging diet, which saw the vegetarian resort to eating meat again just to get through.
'It’s too restrictive and I didn’t feel good on it. I hate the keto diet.
'All I’ve done over the last four weeks is torture myself, I’ve had a bad belly, I’ve had constipation.
'When you’re a vegetarian this diet is really, really hard work. So I’ve had to start eating chicken and I don’t really want to eat an animal, I’ve been farting like a pig where I’ve been eating eggs again, it’s just rubbish.'
The doctors on the programme advised that the ketogenic diet was not suited to everyone, with Josie's disappointing results proving that it did not work for her.

Josie explained at the beginning of the Channel 5 programme how it was only when she was pictured on holiday in a bikini that she decided to overhaul her lifestyle after battling with her weight over the years.
'In a way I am so glad that happened, if I didn't have everyone telling me how big I was and how disgusting I looked I might have not done anything about it.
'How I lost all that weight was a really clean-eating diet. I went down to ten and a half stone.
'I felt like a brand new person, I felt like I had actually just been born, it felt really surreal. It was my biggest achievement ever. So the fact I am back here, at 12 and half stone, is a bit of a kick in the teeth.'
Josie was put on a ketogenic diet which involved eating high in fat and low carbs, but she struggled to keep it up
