Josie Gibson's sweet message to Holly Willoughby as she's replaced on This Morning

This Morning's Josie Gibson has sent a sweet message to Holly Willoughby after presenting the show with her on Monday and Tuesday of this week.

The presenter stood in alongside Holly as she returned for the first time after Phillip Schofield stepped down. You can buy the stunning dress Josie wore here and it's nowhere near as expensive as you might think.

Josie supported Holly as she opened the show on June 5 with an emotional statement and said she felt "shaken, troubled and let down" as she addressed the controversy surrounding Phil's exit. The 61-year-old stepped down from his role on the daytime show on Saturday, May 20 following a rumoured rift with Holly and later quit ITV altogether after revealing he'd had an affair with a younger colleague.

And after replacing Phil for the first half of this week, Josie has revealed she's now "passing the baton on" to Craig Doyle. The Dublin-born presenter will host This Morning alongside Holly on Wednesday, June 7 and Thursday, June 8 before Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary return as usual on Friday.

Sharing a snap of herself and Holly in the studio, Josie wrote: "Thank you to this legend and her infectious energy!!! @hollywilloughby you are such a fabulous broadcaster...loved our last two days together.

"Passing the baton onto @craigadoyle I will be out in the sunshine bringing you an incredible competition from a canal boat. Don't miss us tomorrow from 10am on @thismorning."

She followed the message with a few hastags, including women supporting women. Holly shared the post on her on Instagram platform, adding a yellow heart to it.

This Morning continues on weekdays at 10am on ITV1 and ITVX. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
