Josie Gibson Rejuvenates in Thailand Over Christmas After Emotional Burnout
TV presenter describes restorative holiday in Thailand as a ‘soul-good’ reset following a taxing period of work and personal pressure
Josie Gibson has spent part of the Christmas season in Thailand, describing the trip as a restorative experience following a period of emotional burnout and professional pressure.
The television presenter, known for her work on ITV’s This Morning, shared glimpses of her holiday in Southeast Asia, saying the break was “good for the soul” and helped her recharge ahead of the new year.
Gibson posted photos and reflections from her travels in Thailand, highlighting the positive impact the change of scenery had on her wellbeing and mental frame after what she acknowledged had been a challenging and stressful period.
The holiday comes after Gibson took breaks from her regular broadcasting schedule, with shifts in her on-screen presence earlier in 2025 partly linked to work commitments and personal wellbeing considerations.
Her trip to Thailand, a country celebrated for its warm climate, hospitality and scenic landscapes, allowed her to step back from the demands of her professional life and focus on rest, reflection and family time.
In comments accompanying her travel content, Gibson emphasised the importance of taking time away to manage stress and prevent burnout, noting that such pauses can be essential for maintaining long-term professional and emotional health.
Fans and followers responded enthusiastically to Gibson’s updates, with many praising her courage in prioritising self-care and openly discussing the pressures of life in the public eye.
Thailand’s vibrant culture and natural beauty — from its beaches to its temples — featured prominently in her shared images, reinforcing the destination’s appeal as a place to unwind.
Gibson’s reflections contribute to a wider conversation about mental health and work-life balance, particularly among public figures and professionals navigating demanding careers.
After her Thai holiday, she signalled her intent to return refreshed and ready to engage with her future television and media projects, framing the break as an important step in resetting her personal and professional rhythm.
