This Morning fans demand presenter shake up as Josie Gibson returns to show

This Morning viewers have demanded a major presenter shake up after Bristol's Josie Gibson appeared on today's show. Josie, who hails from Yate and lives in Bristol, is presenting the hit magazine show alongside northern TV personality Vernon Kay today - the pair have proved themselves to be a dynamic duo in their previous appearances together.

Rochelle Humes was at the helm of This Morning earlier this week, presenting alongside Vernon having previously worked together on the show just before Christmas. The former The Saturdays singer returned to the show after renewing her vows with JLS star Marvin Humes in Italy, surrounded by loved ones.

But today, Rochelle is not hosting This Morning as she in Manchester, filming for Ninja Warrior UK. Whilst Rochelle has her fair share of fans, the return of bubbly Bristolian Josie has sent viewers especially wild on social media.

It seems that Josie and Vernon are many viewers' dream duo, with many sending messages of support to the stars. On Twitter, Fi wrote: "Ahhh Vernon and Josie - the dream team is back! Crack on..."

Teacher said: "@thismorning love Josie and Vernon. Make them permanent presenters!"

"Vernon & Josie I love it." wrote Lisa. "I've not watched #ThisMorning for ages as I cannot stand Holly and Phil. Please keep Vernon & Josie @thismorning @itv #itvdaytime"

"Josie and Vernon are the best pairing." Debs and Glyn said.

FoxyLady1 pleaded: "#ThisMorning I actually love vernon and josie , make these permanent please @thismorning"

Just the other week, Josie revealed that her son Reggie had to be taken to hospital after getting into a nasty accident with a trampoline ladder. The former Big Brother star thanked staff at Royal United Hospital in Bath for putting her 'little prince back together again'.

According to Josie, staff shortages meant that the surgeon who attended her son's arm had to work a 12-hour shift without a lunch break. The Bristolian called on support to be made available for NHS staff during an episode of This Morning following the incident.

She said: "I just think credit to them. How amazing is it to keep doing your job in a crumbled system when you're doing all this."

When her co-presenter Craig Doyle probed Josie for an update on Reggie's condition, she told him that he is getting better. Josie said: "He's really, really good and I can't thank anybody in that theatre enough."
