Talk about shedding the pounds quickly. Big Brother winner Josie Gibson has had rather the dramatic turn around after unflattering images of her in a bikini surfaced earlier this year. You all remember the pictures; she was in a pink bikini literally slumped on the beach with it all hanging out. Now she has lost a stone and a half, as well as dropping a dress size after admitting she had become a ‘beast’. We’re actually bloody surprised by the transformation, which you can see in Closer magazine today, it’s remarkable (there’s probs a bit of Photoshop involved too to be fair).  It beats anything Lauren Goodger has done anyway and that’s really saying something. Speaking about her weight, she said: 'I’d gone out there to look at houses as I was thinking of investing in some property. The last thing I expected was to get photographed and, as far as I’m concerned, I look like a total beast. 'I was in denial about how big I’d got, but those pictures really brought it home. I couldn’t believe it when I weighed myself and realised I was 14st and a size 16.' Josie blamed her weight gain on snacking on a lot of takeaways when she broke her ankle. She hired a personal trainer and started to cut down on her calorie intake to reach the size she is now. She’s not stopping there though; Josie’s hoping to lose another two stone to reach her ideal weight of 10 stone with a size 10 dress size. Josie said: 'I have a picture in my head of how I’m going to look when I’m slimmer. I’m planning a trip abroad in August and I want to look hot on the beach. 'The aim is to be a size 10 by next summer and hit the music festivals in cowboy boots and hot pants with a fringed bra top. I have the outfit, I just need to lose the weight!' Yeah, we’re not sure about the outfit but the weight loss sounds good.
