Holly Willoughby has spoken out after Josie Gibson filled in for her on This Morning due to sickness.
The mum-of-three was supposed to back on the show on Wednesday having taken Tuesday off due to a stomach bug.
However the Big Brother star had to step in at the last minute as Holly's co-host Phillip Schofield explained she still wasn't feeling well.
Holly didn't speak about her absence on Tuesday but on Wednesday morning posted on her Instagram story: "Thank you @josiegibson85 for saving the day yesterday...you're a dream."
"I'll be back as soon as there is no threat of vomiting on @schofe."
The father-of-two joked that Holly's absence may have been a blessing in disguise as the food being rustled up in the studio's kitchen would have been wasted on her.
In a sweet message to his stricken friend Phil said: "I texted her this morning and so she is much improved from her stomach bug, but still not quite there but she will be by Monday.
"But she's had a proper rough time of it."
Josie then joked: "Well, I hope so. There's only so much I can wing it for her so hurry up and get back Holly, alright!"
Josie praised Philip for being her 'rock' and thanked him for supporting her through a 'surreal' week co-hosting This Morning.
She said: "Three days of presenting one of the biggest daytime TV shows of all time.
“I’ve got to give it up for this hero [Phillip] you have been my rock this week. Not only have you presented the show but you’ve had to teach me along the way.
"Sorry for all the slip-ups, you and Holly (Willoughby) and all the other presenters make it look effortlessly easy."
However, if the mum-of-one had any doubts about her performance she needn't have worried as she went down a storm with the show's fans.
In fact viewers have been so impressed that some even called for her to replace Holly full-time when the TV host eventually calls time on the daytime show.
The Bristolian babe has a three-year-old son Reggie, who she shares with property developer ex-boyfriend Terry.
While stunning at any size, the star transformed herself from a size 20 to a size 14 after she gained weight during lockdown.
She vowed to lose weight to boost her energy levels and dropped an impressive 10lbs in under a month after adjusting her lifestyle.
Josie saw quick results after joining WW, formally known as Weight Watchers, in a bid to lose a few pounds after tipping 17 stone on the scales.
