Josie Gibson reveals scars on her arm from surgery

Dressed in a black sports bra top and leggings, she raised her arm to apply the roll-on and exposed the marks from her operation.

Josie, 41, previously said she has been living with lipoedema, a condition that affects how the body stores fat. She has described it as a constant struggle and said she feels as though she is always fighting her genetics.

Josie explained her diagnosis on This Morning

Back in January, Josie discussed the condition during an interview on This Morning with hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley.

She said specialists had told her that lipoedema causes the body to hold fat differently. Josie explained that despite training regularly and feeling fit and healthy, experts told her exercise alone would not remove lipoedema fat.

She said she had consulted several experts, including one in Berlin and three in London, before deciding to take action.

Josie underwent two operations

After that interview, Josie went ahead with two procedures: liposuction and an arm lift. Those surgeries left the scars now visible in her latest Instagram clip.

She said she felt she needed treatment before the condition worsened. Josie also recalled performing strongly in fitness testing while filming The 70s Diet, saying doctors were surprised by how fit she was.

According to Josie, medics told her the lipoedema itself was holding her back rather than her overall fitness.

She also said that, regardless of diet or exercise, fat in the affected areas could not be lost naturally with lipoedema, which led her to choose surgery.

Josie said her arms had become very lumpy and added that she felt the condition did not match the rest of her shape.

She previously had treatment on her calves

Josie also revealed that she underwent treatment on her calves last September.

She said the procedure involved a lipoedema treatment designed to tighten the skin from the inside. According to Josie, the work had to be carried out in stages rather than all at once.

She added that the treatment was expensive, saying she paid more than £7,000 just for her calves.
