The mum of Big Brother housemate John James Parton has said that she will ‘slap’ her son, if he breaks the heart of Bristol girl Josie Gibson.

The pair have been enjoying a flirtation since they entered the house back in June and seem to have become extra close over the last week. After watching her son on the Channel 4 reality TV show, JJ’s mum is sure that he does have feelings for Josie.

‘From John James’ behaviour I can tell he really likes Josie,’ Helena, who’s a nurse in Melbourne, told Now magazine.

‘It’s quite obvious to me that he is interested in her.’

‘He really needs someone like Josie, too,’ she added. ‘I love her.

‘She’s not backwards in coming forward. I would be thrilled if they got together.’

‘If he breaks her heart, I’ll slap him,’ she concluded.

Knowing Josie, we have no doubt that she would too!
