Josie Gibson was teased during her latest appearance on This Morning as she revealed her crush on a Coronation Street icon.
The presenter was back at the helm of the ITV daytime programme on Tuesday as she steps in for Holly Willoughby alongside Phillip Schofield.
Holly, 41, had to miss Monday's show and pull out of her hosting duties on Sunday's Dancing On Ice hours before going live after testing positive for coronavirus.
Josie, 36, was drafted back in as her This Morning replacement after impressing fans with her appearance last year when Holly suffered a stomach bug that forced her to miss three days at work.
The former Big Brother winner also filled in for Phillip Schofield earlier in the year when he was struck with Covid and had to miss numerous episodes.
And on the latest show, which aired from 10am on Tuesday, Phillip and Josie were joined by Sharon Marshall for her weekly soap gossip slot.
Speaking about Corrie, Sharon was discussing Kevin Webster's return to the cobbles after he discovers she has given birth. Viewers will get to see what happens during Wednesday night's trip to the cobbles when, after seeing Abi’s story in the Gazette, Kev's sister Debbie demands answers, assuming the baby to be Kevin’s.
But Abi hurries out, explaining the baby is having an operation today and as Abi waits for news, she’s stunned to see Kevin in the hospital corridor and her estranged husband takes her in his arms as Abi breaks down.
With Kevin assuming the baby is the result of her one-night stand with Tez, when actually it was with Imran Habeeb, Abi goes along with the lie and Kevin offers to let her stay at No.13 until she’s won custody.
Ahead of speaking about the upcoming emotional scenes, a picture of Kevin, aka actor Michael Le Vell, flashed up on the small screen between Sharon and hosts Josie and Phillip.
Getting distracted by the picture of the soap character in his overalls, Sharon said, “Look at Kev, all handsome in his overalls” to which Josie smiled and said: "I reckon he’s like a fine red wine. He gets better with age."
Phillip then turned to Josie and asked: "Would you like us to print that out for you?" and Josie who became unusually shy about the whole thing, replied: "Yeah."
Then later, after returning from a break, Josie was presented with the picture in the frame by a member of the show's team. "Look what our graphics department has done for you," Phil said as the camera eventually panned from the picture to a giggling Josie ready for the vodka segment of the programme.
"Chris has just rushed in with that... it's Kev," Phillip added. "They've printed out that picture you said 'looked like a fine wine'. They've printed it out for you."
"Fine red wine... Kevin Webster gets better with age so thank you very much for that, I will treasure that," Josie replied. "That’s going straight on my stair hallway, along with my other fine red wines."
Turning to Phil, she cheekily added: "You may be up there too Phil, if you’re lucky" to which Phillip shouted to the graphics team: "Print me off, Chris. Start the printer," he laughed.
Before it was time to head to the kitchen with Gok Wan, This Morning returned from another break with Daryl Hall and John Oates track Maneater playing out in the studio.
"You've done this on purpose," a slightly red-faced Josie said as she was presented with a framed picture of Phillip which proudly sat alongside the one of Michael as his Corrie character, Kev.
