Josie Gibson gives her VERY honest verdict on This Morning line-up after Phillip Schofield exit
JOSIE Gibson has given her honest verdict about her This Morning co-stars - including who her favourite presenter is.
TV favourite Josie has become a stalwart of the This Morning sofa and was even by Holly Willoughby’s side when she delivered her emotional statement on the departure of Phillip Schofield.
Josie, 38, has since been part of a revolving line-up of co-presenters following the scandal over Phillip's affair with a much younger runner.
The Bristolian presenter has opened up about her fellow co-hosts, branding The Saturdays star Rochelle Humes "the sweetest human on Earth" and quipped that TV legend Andi Peters "looks younger" now than the early noughties.
“Dermot [O’Leary] is such a laugh and great with Reg when he comes on set,” Josie said.
"I’ve also worked with Vernon Kay and I loved him growing up, while Craig [Doyle] is hilarious.”

Josie also opened up about her friendship with Holly, 42, after the pair were thrown together to present the show during a turbulent time at ITV.
"I have the best job in the world,” she told .
“Holly and I have a great laugh together. The other day, she sent me a message and said, ‘This bloke has been asking after you, his name is Scott Chegg,’ and I said, ‘I’ve never heard of him, send me a picture.’ She sent me a picture of a scotch egg. I fell for it hook, line and sinker!”
Sharing her thoughts on fellow Big Brother co-host Alison Hammond, Josie admitted she had been her rock away from the cameras.

“Obviously my favourite is Alison Hammond. I love Al – she’s got such a special energy,” she said.
“She is the kindest person on Earth. You could ring Al and after the phone call, you feel a million dollars.
"You’d never know if she was in a bad mood because she’s too busy trying to make you feel good.”
It comes after it was revealed that Good Morning Britain's Ben Shephard is set to join This Morning on Monday.
The huge ITV star has been assigned as Holly's latest co-host on the lunchtime show.
Ben, 48, will make his This Morning debut at 10am on Monday morning, stepping in for Irish star Craig Doyle, 50.
