Josie Gibson has opened up on standing in for Holly Willoughby on This Morning.
The former Big Brother winner, 36, previously replaced Holly, 40, on the ITV programme after she fell ill with a nasty stomach bug.
Now, Josie has spoken out about the stint and how she felt standing next to show veteran Phillip Schofield.

The star opened up on her hosting debut with Closer magazine.
She told the publication: “I made mistakes on air and sometimes my timing was off, but the viewers were so understanding.”
The mum-of-one added that she felt like an “imposter” during the stint.
I felt like a bit of an imposter
Josie continued: “I thought how did I get here? I’m on one of the biggest daytime TV shows and next to one of the biggest TV presenters in the world. I felt like a bit of an imposter.”
However, the presenter credited co-host Phillip for helping her during her time on the blue sofa.
She concluded: “I was thrown in at the deep end but I had the best armbands I could’ve had.”
Josie previously shared a touching tribute to Phillip after her show stint.
She penned: “I’ve got to give it up for this hero [Phillip] you have been my rock this week. Not only have you presented the show but you’ve had to teach me along the way.

“Thank you for being there for me, thank you for being so gentle, warm and kind and thank you for being so bloody hilarious!”
