Josie Gibson has once again been a hit with This Morning viewers as she stepped in to the main host slot alongside Phillip Schofield. But her stint covering for Holly Willoughby on the ITV daytime show after she tested positive for coronavirus over the weekend has come to an end, she revealed on Wednesday's programme.
Josie has spent the last three days filling in for Holly after she was forced to pull out of the Dancing On Ice semi-finals hours before they went on air after receiving a positive Covid test. It's not the first time the former Big Brother winner has stepped into the main presenter role as she made her debut filling in for Holly late last year when she fell ill with a stomach bug.
At that time, Josie, 37, was parachuted in at the last minute to host alongside Phillip, 59, and later returned alongside Vernon Kay before Christmas and again earlier this year with Holly when Phillip was similarly struck down by Covid. But right at the end of Wednesday's show, after enjoying a fish burger dish courtesy of The Body Coach himself Joe Wicks, Josie explained that she wouldn't be joining Phillip on Thursday's show but would instead be at the Cheltenham Festival.
