Josie Gibson updates on This Morning future after Phillip and Holly's exits
Josie Gibson has seemingly given an update on her future on This Morning following Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby's exits.
During a chat on I'm A Celebrity this evening, Sam asked Josie about her time on the ITV mid-morning show so far, leading them to have a lengthy chat about her time on the show and where she sees herself in the future.
The presenting line up has had a big shake-up in the past few months. Phillip Schofield stepped down earlier this year after admitting to an "unwise but not illegal" affair with a younger colleague. Holly Willoughby also stepped down from the show recently, citing a need to spend more time with her family, with a string of guest hosts standing in for them ever since.
During a jungle chat today as they relaxed around camp, Sam asked Josie: "When did you start doing This Morning?" to which she replied: "Five years ago. It’s such a good gig. I will say this, my career didn’t kick off until Reggie was a few months old. Everybody thinks you have a baby and your life is over. It was totally the opposite for me."
Asked if she has a plan for the future, she added: "Because I’ve always wanted to work for This Morning and I’ve always wanted to be a TV presenter I feel like, in my head, I feel like I’ve sort of made it because I’ve got to where I wanted to be."
TOWIE's Chloe Brockett makes cheeky dig at Saffron Lempriere during filming"hat’s what everyone looks for," Sam chimed in before Josie replied: "A lovely place to be. What do you want?" The pair then discussed Sam's feelings about life - and his dream to get to a stage where he feels comfortable with who he is.
"I want to get to that stage, really Jose where you’re at, where you’re like, 'Do you know what? This is me,'" he shared before Josie told him: "You’re going to be the best dad as well." As they discussed his and Zara McDermott's desire to have kids one day, he added: "Thanks, Jose. It’s kind of tough to explain this, a lot of people- you not included - a lot of guys who are like, ‘Mate, you need to have kids, you need to have kids,’ but my circumstances are different to yours.
"My girlfriend, and I would never want to take this away from her, is doing so well. I know she doesn’t want to give that up. And she shouldn’t have to. There will come a time where we’ll both be like, ‘Yeah, now’s the time’, but I just don’t think it’s now."
Josie then explained: "I had Reg at 33 and I’m so glad I had him at that age as well. I really lived my life. I totally lived it. If anything happened to me tomorrow Sam, I have had a blinder. I’ve had a real a good time. Until you feel like that, you know, hold out."
