Josie Gibson was quickly defended by her This Morning co-host Dermot O'Leary, after being insulted by guest Gyles Brandreth on Monday'. And many viewers were also offended on Josie's behalf, on her first day of another stint as the show's main presenter.
Last week it was announced by ITV bosses that Josie and Dermot would get another opportunity to team up as the daytime programme's main presenters, as Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby take a break for half term. News of them taking over for a week was welcomed by many This Morning fans, especially those who've been backing Josie for a full time role, ever since she was called in expectedly in 2021 to step in for a poorly Holly.
Appearing as a guest on Friday's Loose Women, ex Big Brother winner Josie admitted she was slightly nervous about going back to the studio, due to what so got up at colleague Alison's Hammond's recent birthday party, confessing that she 'lost' three hours and was avoiding all video evidence.
