For Josh, his “favourite person in the world” is, without a doubt, his mum. Josh’s parents divorced when he was six, his mum bringing up him and his brothers pretty much on her own.

“You don’t realise it when you’re young, but growing up, you know how much she sacrificed,” Josh, 28, tells TV WEEK. “My brothers and I never went without. I can’t say enough nice words about my mum.”

Since Josh was a teen, he’s wanted to meet “the one” and have a family.

“I met a great girl and I did love her,” he says. “But rather than being a good partner and building that relationship, I chose going out and drinking. And she got rid of me.”
