Josie Gibson has compared being addicted to sugar to being hooked on heroin.
The ex reality star, who shed four stone in six months at the end of last year, branded sugar a 'drug' as she opened up about her weight battles during an interview on Daybreak on Friday morning.
Josie also revealed that she weighed nearly 17 stone when she left the Big Brother house in 2010 - blaming her emotional issues, as well as her lack of knowledge about nutrition, for her size.
