And in true Josie banter she said: "This is Holly, and I've nicknamed her Holly Squillaby."

She added: "Come on Holly Squillaby into the river, lets cool down. I think Holly has fallen in love with me just like the other Holly."

This comes after news broke of Holly and Philip Schofield's feuding relationship behind the camera.

Earlier this month, it was revealed that Holly and Phil's relationship has become so fragile that she is preparing to take a break from the show - and is predicted to quit the show in weeks.

But it wasn't just Josie who made fun of the situation so too did This Morning co-host Alison Hammond.

The 48-year-old star who shot to fame on Big Brother in 2002 hinted that her co-stars could both be replaced by AI technology.

Talking about technology, she said: "We could be replaced one day! Remember when Holly and Phil had that robot in with that woman, it was amazing, I couldn't believe it."

She added: "Presenters could maybe be replaced by AI. It's kind of like a cloning in a way, and you don't actually have to be there."
