ITV This Morning presenter Josie Gibson stuns guest Rupert Friend by revealing her Stars Wars nickname

She's won the hearts of This Morning viewers as a stand-in host and down-to-earth presenter Josie Gibson had Hollywood stars Rupert Friend and Sienna Miller and Rupert Friend in stitches as she revealed a nickname she was given at school. The 37-year-old was speaking with American Sniper actress Sienna and Homeland star Rupert, both 40, on Wednesday's show when she made a hilarious revelation.

Josie, who shot to fame on the reality show Big Brother in 2010, was chatting to Rupert about his role in the upcoming Disney Plus TV series Obi-Wan Kenobi as the Grand Inquisitor. And she left him gobsmacked as she revealed they had something in common.

The host told her guest she was called 'Lobey-Wan Kenobi' at school because she 'had fat earlobes'. "I can tell you a little secret Rupert," she said. "They used to call me Lobey One Kenobi at school because my earlobes were so fat."
