ITV This Morning's Josie Gibson visits rudest restaurant and says she's 'never been so insulted'

ITV This Morning viewers will have seen Josie Gibson visiting a number of locations as she takes a break from main presenting duties for a new segment on the daytime show.

The presenter has been all over the country as she was sent off to different theme parks to experience the most thrilling rides, and this week's hosts Rochelle Humes and Andi Peters also gave her different challenges. The 37-year-old also headed to Camp Bestival during Thursday's show (August 18), M.E.N reports.

However, before heading to the family festival, This Morning had another job for her and they sent her off to the 'rudest' restaurant they could possibly find. Some may have heard of the new Karen's Diner hitting the UK after success in Australia. The restaurant, which has sites in Greater Manchester, Sheffield and Birmingham, prides itself on rude staff and terrible service.

In return, customers are expected to "give it the full Karen", a nod to the modern slang re-interpretation of the name Karen as a self-entitled rude person. And it looks like Josie may have visited the Greater Manchester branch in Prestwich to experience it for herself while being filmed for the popular ITV show.

Posing in front of a pink 'Karen's' sign alongside a retro phone and in front of burger-printed wallpaper, Josie stuck her fingers up for the camera as she penned: "I then visited the one and only @karensdinerofficial what a place!!! I've never been so insulted in my life, it was brutal, but weirdly my humiliated self really enjoyed it! The food was good the service was astonishingly bad and it was EPIC LOL."

And she did have a bit of a message for her bosses who will now have to get to work on what she filmed. "We made a VT for This Morning and all I can say is good luck to our editors LOL."

Josie's visit comes after everyone's favourite Manc Gogglebox family, the Malones were given the full-on sweary treatment at Greater Manchester's "rudest restaurant". The Malones headed to the most-talked about new restaurant opening of the year and Tom Malone Jr filmed their visit and uploaded it to TikTok.

The dancer and reality star took his mum Julie and dad Tom Sr to the very bold new diner based on Prestwich 's Bury New Road. And dad Tom is shown looking at his son and saying: "Where have you brought me? The ***** this ****ing thing?" as the insults from waiting staff began to unfold.
