Josie Gibson Enters Oxygen Chamber for Healing

Josie Gibson, a familiar face on This Morning, has shared that she is undergoing treatment in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber as part of an 'alternative healing' regimen. The 41-year-old presenter posted a video on Instagram showing her relaxing in the chamber with an oxygen mask, even showcasing her recent weight loss in athletic wear.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy works by having patients breathe pure oxygen at pressures significantly higher than normal atmospheric levels. This process is known to increase blood oxygen concentration, aid in tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing, and is often employed for conditions like decompression sickness and severe infections.

While the specific reason for Gibson's treatment remains private, she humorously captioned her post comparing the therapy to purchasing designer handbags. This revelation follows closely on the heels of news that Gibson is reportedly in advanced talks to be the first celebrity contestant on this year's Strictly Come Dancing, a move the BBC has pursued for years, hoping her relatable charm will captivate viewers. Gibson previously competed on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2023, finishing in fourth place.
