I’m A Celebrity’s Josie Gibson has made a surprising revelation about her time working with Holly Willoughby. The former colleagues, known for their on-air antics, have a surprising similarity that fans may not have expected.
A Hangover Tradition
Holly Willoughby and Phil Schofield became infamous for presenting This Morning hungover after the National Television Awards. The day after the NTA’s, the pair would take to the airwaves visibly hungover, creating a tradition on British TV.
Josie Gibson’s Surprise
Josie Gibson, a fan favourite on ITV’s flagship daytime show, has now admitted that all has not been what it seems on the morning chat show. There have been moments where she has been called in last minute and has taken to the airwaves completely hungover.
Speaking to fellow I’m A Celeb campmate Nick Pickard, Josie revealed, “One time, it weren’t actually my fault, I weren’t meant to be in and they asked me if I could come in.” Nick jokingly responded, “That’s alright then, I always say to them ‘well, I’m a bit hungover,’ but it’s alright.”
Presenting This Morning Hungover
Josie then excitedly admitted, “A bit hungover? I was absolutely p******!” She later confessed in the Bush Telegraph, “Don’t let anyone know that I was presenting This Morning hungover. But I did, I did present This Morning hungover… Twice! But I wouldn’t ever do it again, I’ve learnt my lesson.”
Fans React
Viewers took to social media to express their amusement and relate to Josie’s experience. One fan commented, “Don’t tell anyone but I did present This Morning hungover… I mean Josie, babe, you’re not the only one who’s done that.” Another fan hailed Josie’s revelation as “iconic behavior.”
It seems that presenting a morning show hungover is not uncommon, as fans reminded Josie of Holly Willoughby and Phil Schofield’s tradition of presenting This Morning drunk after the NTAs every year.
Josie Gibson continues to entertain viewers on I’m A Celebrity, and her surprising similarity to Holly Willoughby has only added to her fan appeal.
