This Morning presenter Josie Gibson has exclusively revealed that she will be appearing on another TV show. The ITV favourite is back hosting This Morning alongside Vernon Kay whilst presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield take a break during the Easter holidays.
As the show began on Monday morning, Vernon Kay announced that his co-star had some exclusive news to share. It was then that Josie revealed that she has signed up for Cooking with the Stars, an ITV show hosted by Emma Willis and comedian Tom Allen.
The competitive cooking show ran its first series in July 2021 and saw eight celebrities each paired with a professional chef to take on a series of challenges.

As the show has been renewed for a second season, Josie Gibson is one of the first celebrities to confirm she will be among the famous line-up.
"I'm very excited that I'm going to be on Cooking with the Stars. I cannot tell you how difficult it is, and I did not realise how bad my memory is," the presenter told Vernon, as she explained more about the show.
"I've got to learn to cook all of these incredible dishes and I am with a bit of a legend actually, I'm paired with Tony Singh MBE."
This Morning then shared an exclusive clip of Josie behind the scenes on the cooking show alongside the renowned professional chef.
"I thought I knew how to cook but when I signed up to this show I realised I didn't, I wasn't very good at it," Josie laughed.
"It's taken me by surprise and at the end of it you are exhausted. By the end of it they go 'what have you just cooked?' and I go 'I can't actually remember the name of the dish, I know it had sherry in it somewhere."
Josie then started revealing some of her dishes, before saying she can't give too much away, "I cook with chicken and veg, but I can't give too much away."
This Morning chef Clodagh, who is also appearing on the show as one the professional chefs, revealed that she has been paired with This Morning's doctor Ranj Singh.
"I just want to let you know Clodagh that you're going down," Josie joked.
ITV has now confirmed the full line-up for the show with professional dancer Anton Du Beke, Olympian Dame Kelly Holmes, Chaser Anne Hegerty, Love Island’s Maura Higgins, TV expert Dr Ranj Singh, comedian Joe Wilkinson and influencer Woody Cook each taking part.
Across a series of cooking battles, the celebrities will be trained by their mentor chefs to produce delicious dishes that will be judged by the remaining professionals. The bottom two will then have to fight for their place in the competition, creating a dish without any help from their mentor.
The result of this eliminator will be decided by a blind tasting judgement from the professional chefs, who will be unaware of whose food they are tasting.
Partnered with and co-funded by Marks & Spencer, the six-part cooking competition will air this summer on ITV, with a date yet to be announced.
Presenter Emma Willis said: “Tom and I had so much fun last series and I’m looking forward to getting back into the kitchen.
"The pressure the celebs are under is real and once the competition starts heating up everybody wants to win, but I’m hoping there isn’t as much blood as last series."
