ITV This Morning's Craig Doyle 'clears the air' with Josie Gibson seconds into show

Craig Doyle was back at the helm of This Morning on Monday (August 8) and it was good news for viewers of the show as he was reunited with Josie Gibson. Fans have become firm lovers of the pair as they have previously teamed up to host the ITV daytime programme.

However, seconds into viewers being greeted by the new hosting duo, Craig felt like he had to 'clear the air' with Josie. The Irish TV star started by welcoming viewers to the first This Morning of the week before turning to greet his co-star.

"Good morning, Josie. How are ya?" he asked before Josie looked at him at said: "Good morning, Mr Doyle." As Craig then said it was 'nice to see' Josie again, the former Big Brother winner put a hand on his shoulder and said: "I've missed you!"

But Craig replied: "I've got to clear the air. I've got to clear the air, if you don't mind?" He then continued: "I know you've been seeing other presenters..." as Josie burst out laughing, Craig, 51, kept a saddened expression on his face.

"I know... I've been watching," he continued. "It's just one minute we're on the couch hand in hand talking to someone who's married a double murdered and the next your trying Clodagh [McKenna's] fancy BBQ treats with Vernon [Kay]."

Craig added in a faux cry: "It's hard sometimes!" as Josie, 37, replied: "It's not what it looks like... Listen, there's enough love to go around." Craig asked: "Really?" before adding in fake anger "Sharing competition links with Vernon and all the others."

He then said: "I thought that was ours," before bursting into laughter and breaking his character. The pair were soon cracking on with the show and This Morning viewers were happy to see the pair.
