Josie Gibson was close to tears on today's episode of This Morning as she revealed that four of her friends have died since the beginning of the pandemic. The Bristolian TV presenter is currently filling in for Holly Willoughby on the daytime show, and shared some upsetting news during a discussion about the struggle to access mental health services.
Joining Josie and her co-presenter, Phillip Schofield, was Dr Nighat Arif. The family GP was on Wednesday's show to discuss the impact that the coronavirus pandemic has had on the nation's mental health.
During the discussion, Josie became visibly upset when she shared that she has personally been affected by the mental impact of the pandemic. According to The Sun, Josie said: "I personally know four men who took their own lives, and the support was just not there."
