Gibson was born and raised in Mold, North Wales. Her father was a builder and her mother a housewife. She did not consider herself an arty child, but did join the local youth theatre in Theatr Clwyd. She studied performing arts at Salford University where she met fellow students Peter Kay and Steve Edge.

Before landing a role in Peter Kay's Car Share in 2015, Gibson had not auditioned for any acting roles for over a year and was working in a call centre in Chester. Kay had received the script from Paul Coleman and Tim Reid, a friend of Paul's, who sought Kay's opinion. Although Kay loved the script he initially had no intention of even appearing in the series. He later asked Gibson if she wanted to work with him and they set to work rewriting the script to fit themselves, since John and Kayleigh as originally scripted were meant to be slightly younger. The success of the series brought Gibson to wider prominence and opened the door for other roles. She returned for the second series of Car Share in April 2017.
