Yahoo News Josie Gibson leaves fans 'so jealous' as she's in unexpected spot with Coronation Street star
Josie Gibson has left her fans 'so jealous' after giving them another glimpse at her recent unexpected trip abroad with a former Coronation Street star.
The This Morning presenter ditched the UK for Italy with none other than Ryan Thomas. The pair appeared to have an absolute hoot as they joined TUI Lakes for the adventure as they got to explore the best of what was on offer in the stunning Lake Maggiore and Lake Como.
It has been revealed that Josie, 39, and Ryan, 40, were on a mission to find the perfect break that suits two different types of friends. The TV stars, who first met through the industry five years ago, have always stayed connected through their work and have since become good friends thanks to their similar sense of humour and mutual love for the great outdoors.

Ryan’s competitive spirit was put through its paces when the pair were challenged to a ‘lakeside locomotion’ – a friendly bike race around Lake Como where they cycled past charming towns, picturesque hills and soaked up lakeside views.
They also tried their hands at kayaking along the shores of Lake Maggiore, enjoyed an iconic boat ride across the waters of Lake Como set against the beautiful backdrop of the colourful, quaint Italian towns. And for the first time ever, Josie also sipped on the classically Italian and zesty aperitif, limoncello.
Josie and Ryan also spent time with a local Cesarina – a local home cook specialising in authentic Italian food – where the pair went head-to-head in a culinary challenge in a charming Italian home where they cooked the classic Italian dish of fresh ricotta and spinach tortellini, using local produce.
Now, Josie has shared a fresh video giving a glimpse at what they got up to and wrote on Instagram: "Haven’t laughed this much in a long time! Such a fun week with @tuilakes & @ryanthomas84 living ‘la dolce vita’ in the beautiful Italian lakes. So much to see, taste & explore!"
And her fans and followers were quick to respond as they lapped up the new partnership. @by.glorya gushed: "Bravo you too, left me wanting to see more as usual ! Josie could hang out with you all day mwah to you and Ryan." @margalgie said: "Lovely pair to do travel stuff."
