She's detailed her 'imposter syndrome'

This Morning host Josie Gibson is all set to return for her summer hosting duties – and she “still can’t believe” she’s trusted at the helm of the show!

Speaking in a new interview ahead of her summer residency, Josie opened up about her imposter syndrome and how she didn’t think she’d host This Morning “in a million years”.

She’ll be back with Vernon Kay and Craig Doyle for a couple of weeks soon – and she “can’t wait”.

Josie added: “If you had said to me: ‘One day, you will be hosting This Morning‘ – the biggest daytime TV show in the UK, I would have probably burst out laughing.

What am I doing here? How did this happen? How did I get myself into this?

“Never in a million years did I think I’d be doing something like this. But I can’t wait – I love working at This Morning so much, I’ve got the best job ever!”
