Josie Gibson has unveiled the results of her arm surgery on social media, displaying her transformation in a series of stylish summer outfits.
The 41-year-old This Morning presenter posted images wearing dresses from Odd Muse, captioning the post: “Showing off my new arms.”
The ITV host twirled for the camera to give followers a complete view of her arms following the brachioplasty procedure. While faint scarring remained visible on both arms, the outcome drew widespread admiration from her followers.
Friends and fans flooded the comments with supportive messages, with one fan writing: “You look incredible!! Love the black xxx,” whilst another commenter added: “Baaaaabe you look so gorgeous.”
Others simply declared: “You look amazing!”
“Omg Josie, stop it! You look absolutely gorgeous and really suit all those dresses! Love them,” a fourth fan added. (sic)
The Bristol-born television personality revealed her lipoedema diagnosis earlier this year, a chronic condition that causes abnormal fat accumulation in the legs and sometimes arms. She spent £7,000 on liposuction treatment for her calves before undergoing the arm procedure.
In March, Ms Gibson disclosed that surgeons had removed 45 per cent of her arm during the brachioplasty and explained the necessity of intervention, stating: “No matter how fit you are or what your diet is, with lipoedema you can’t lose fat [in the affected areas].”

The presenter described her frustration with the condition, saying: “You’ve been fighting all your life to get rid of this fat, then you realise it’s your genetics that you’re fighting.”
She hoped her openness would reassure other women experiencing similar struggles.
Ms Gibson spent the spring and early summer months recuperating from her procedures, telling Women and Home in April: “I can’t wait to get my bandages off.
“I’ve just been at home. It stopped me in my tracks a bit – I couldn’t even put the bins out, and I struggle with stopping and relaxing.”

The presenter has embraced an extensive wellness regime to support her healing and rented a hyperbaric chamber for three months, which involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurised environment to boost blood oxygen levels and accelerate recovery.
Her routine also includes lymphatic drainage treatments, collagen supplements, and electrolytes. Ms Gibson purchased a treadmill to maintain her step count at home and occasionally puts together circuit training sessions.
She has additionally incorporated NAD+ and glutathione injections for anti-ageing purposes and constructed her own copper pyramid for meditation and energy healing.
Beyond her recovery, Ms Gibson is strongly linked with an appearance on the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing. Reports suggest the BBC is keen to secure her participation, with negotiations said to be advancing positively.

A source told The Sun: “The BBC is hoping this year is the year, and talks are progressing well. Bosses are convinced her down-to-earth charm will be the boost this year’s new-look show needs. Warm and engaging, she’s just what they require right now and will be a sure-fire hit with fans.”
The potential casting would mark a significant moment for the presenter, who has built a loyal following through her work on ITV’s flagship daytime programme.
