ITV This Morning fans make hosting claim as Alison Hammond and Josie Gibson team up

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

This Morning fans were treated to another new hosting duo during the last episode of the week. The ITV daytime show was back in its slot on Friday with Alison Hammond.

But her usual co-host, Dermot O'Leary was nowhere to be seen. Instead, the 47-year-old presenter was joined by her fellow This Morning star and good pal, Josie Gibson.

"He's having a little break, but I am happy because we've got you," she added, turning to Josie. "How are you?" "Thank you for having me, Al," Josie replied. "Who would have thought it, a Bristolian and a Brummie presenting This Morning?" "It's happened," Alison added before continuing: "It was always going to happen, but do you know what I was thinking... "We come from the Big Brother days.

We've got a winner and a loser." "I didn't want to say anything, Al," Josie joked as they continued with the show. It is the first time Alison, 47, and Josie, 37, have hosted the show together.

Despite spending years appearing as a presenter on the show, Josie finally got a chance at the main hosting gig last year when Holly Willoughby was off sick.
