Josie Gibson has shared that she’s planning to “take some time off” from This Morning.
The telly icon has been a firm-favourite on the ITV show for years. First starting out as an interviewer and competition host, Josie quickly became a hit with fans – and in 2019, bagged a role as a relief presenter.
However, fans hoping to see Josie on screens over the summer will be disappointed, as the TV star has confirmed her exit.

Bristol star Josie has definitely kept busy in recent years. Between hosting ITV’s This Morning, appearing on I’m A Celebrity and becoming the new face of Iceland, Josie has been booked and busy.

So it’s no surprise to hear that she’s planning to take a break from hosting This Morning – and it’s down to her beloved son Reggie. Josie shares the youngster with her ex, Terry.
