Big Brother: Josie Gibson and John James Parton split up
The inevitable has happened and John James Parton and Josie Gibson have announced their split.
The couple first met last summer when they took part in the final series of Channel 4 reality TV show Big Brother. Josie left Ultimate BB early to be reunited with her Australian boyfriend and soon after the pair moved in together.
However today, the Bristol lass took to Twitter to reveal:
Me & John r on a break. We r going to see if we can work things out. We may, we may not. I will not be tweeting about our relationship again.
She was subsequently inundated with messages and questions from fans, but true to her word, has not addressed the subject again, except to retweet a followers message which read:
CALM IT EVERYONE! im sure josie and john will work something out weather its freinds or maybe dating… as they didnt hav time 4 that! x
Josie and John always had the potential to be a volatile couple and in the Big Brother house, they spent almost as much time arguing as they did kissing and cuddling.
The blonde bombshell recently admitted that her relationship with John was not ‘all sweetness and light’ adding:
‘You’re going to have your rows, you are going to have your bickers. That’s just real life. And if we were constantly nice to each other all the time it wouldn’t be real…
John James agreed and said problems arise, because they are both too stubborn.
‘The situation can literally turn from the happiest day of your life to the worst day in 2 seconds,’ he said.
‘And that’s because we are very similar – both very stubborn and neither of us will back down in an argument. But the good thing is that it’s normally over in about 10 mins.’
Do you think they can sort things out? If not, it will at least provide some good footage for Josie’s new Channel Five reality TV show which launches in just over a month.

It is so sad as they make a great couple. Just hope that people can leave them alone to sort through their problems. I will continue to support them both no matter what happens.
It can’t have been easy for them to have a private life when there was a hard core of older women constantly following them and quizzing them about intimate details of their lives together.
They may have called themselves fans but their behaviour was more like stalkers.
They (JJ&J) should also have stayed off Twitter and not answerwed the inane tweets from the same gang of followers. Some of these ‘fans’ seemed to have no life other than to constantly tweet John and Josie – or tweet other ‘fans’ about them.
I hope Josie and John can work it out – in PRIVATE!!
I totally agree with both points. Certain fans & their opportunistic behaviour towards John & Josie, aswell as their blatant advantage taking of their genuinely kind nature was appalling. I still believe they are meant for each other & with John back in Australia maybe all they need is a little break from each other. It may just be a case of too much to soon but hopefully absence makes the heart grow fonder & they can get back together.
If they were together in England the solution would be two separate flats, even if next door to each other! Or if he prefers to stay in Oz he’ll probably buy a place for himself. So he could ask Josie over and see how it goes, without all the hullaballou…I wish them both tremendous happiness, whichever way it goes. They were/are a phenomenon-that’s why we were all so drawn to them as role models. They made people very happy.
There were a bunch of followers with names like Squiggs and Sheza who constantly trailed after them in real life wanting photos….and more, who tweeted every utterance to other followers on Twitter and the Digital Spy threads.
Obviously John and Josie would always be polite to them, but where would it end?
They needed space and privacy. Their outgoing natures were used against them as fans had ideas of ENTITLEMENT to know their every move.
If they move away from London and get off Twitter, I’m sure they will be happy (if they can get over the intrusion that was obviously a big part of the tension they were put under.
I like them both and hope they make a go of it out of the public eye. They owe fans NOTHING. That is all!
I agree with Kennedy. It was cringy to see some of the tweets that were sent to them non-stop telling Josie and John James to ‘love and respect each other’, ‘look after each other’, ‘value each other as two human beings’ etc etc. EVERY FRIKKIN DAY!
Like a bunch of idiots who are living their lives through others…it was embarrassing. Who needs that type of intrusion – no matter how ‘positive’ these messages supposedly sound. EEK….I wanna spew.
All the same Josie and John were 2 people who obviously loved each other. I hope they can make it work in the end…..far from the UK where they will always be stalked by the persistent bunch of women who want to drain them of their privacy for their own self-centred lives.
I was a guest at a cricket match recently where my Dad was a player. John was a player too. Josie was there to watch him. They were surrounded by women who pestered them non-stop for umpteen duplicate photos with them. They can’t possibly have enjoyed themselves even though they were very good natured about it all. Even when they were in the clubroom having a snack, there were bunches of women who were old enough to be their mums taking videos from the table behind them. They were all pretending to eat but their cameras were all focused on John James and Josie. I bet they were annoyed. Even when John James tried to sneak off and watch something on the telly in the corner, the women just giggled and slobbered over him. Couldn’t they have taken the hint?
He just wanted to be left alone for a few minutes.
It must be tiring trying to walk the fine line between being nice (as the seem to be naturally) and not reacting to the obvious intrusion they were experiencing. By all means, the women could have watched from the sidelines and taken a few pics, but they wanted to have 2 much intimate contact. Poor Josie & John, no wonder they’ve hit this breaking point.
I wish them well.
All very good points every1 is making. I do think their were certain ‘fans’ who crossed the line from fandom to stalkerville, and imo, the worst of these fans ain’t been mentioned on these comments. Most of the jjj Twitter family will know who I am referring to. It is a shame that they are on a BREAK but true love will always win in the end, so if its meant to be it will b. The best thing wud b for josie to get on a plane to oz and try work things out. It’s hard to patch things up when u r literally at opposite ends of the earth
I agree with you jjj tla.
If I wanted to save a relationship that was worth fighting for, I’d forget all commitments and fly to the ends of the earth to heal the wounds, if that;s what it took.
I can’t believe Josie is still messing around Tweeting nonsense and confirming that she’ll fulfill a committment to PA events that were pre-booked.
She should get off her arse and at least try to rescue the situation.
One thing that always perplexed me was her constant need to party with her friends in Bristol. She needs to grow up. She’s 26 and said she loved John. Surely you make your boyfriend your top priority.
……she needs to fly off to Oz ASAP and sort it out!
Josie deserves so much better!
Waah I knew this say wud cum, but so soon? They make an awesome couple and lasted a lot longer thn the average couple under the spotlight. I hope they work stuff out:)
By the way I know John he’s friends wiv my cousin Scott
