Josie Gibson fans react as presenter makes ITV This Morning announcement

Josie Gibson has confirmed she's returning to This Morning next week as presenting duo Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard take a break. The I'm A Celebrity star will be hosting the ITV daytime show alongside Dermot O'Leary throughout the school holidays.

The 39-year-old was a regular presenter on the programme following the exits of Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby last year, often presenting alongside Dermot, Craig Doyle, Alison Hammond, Rylan Clark, and Martin Lewis while the show looked for replacements. In March Good Morning Britain's Ben and So You Think You Dance host Cat permanently took over the roles with Alison and Dermot hosting on Fridays as usual.

However Josie has delighted fans by confirming she'll be back on the show covering Cat and Ben alongside Dermot. After appearing for a segment on household hacks Josie took to Instagram to reveal she'd be back for a full week, delighting fans in the process.
