ITV This Morning's Josie Gibson asked if she 'needs a second' after emotional segment with rarely seen son

Josie Gibson was left holding back her tears as she looked back at her 'dream' trip with her rarely seen son for This Morning. The presenter was back at the helm of the ITV daytime programme on Thursday (December 22) alongside Craig Doyle.

And as part of her duties on the show, was recently whisked off to Lapland. Josie and her son Reggie four, headed off to Finland for the magical trip which saw them in a search for Santa Claus while enjoying what else the region had to offer in the lead-up to Christmas.

Their whole adventure was filmed for This Morning and was shown during the latest edition of the show. In one scene, Josie asked her son what he wanted from Santa, and he requested a "silly sausage" and a "pig". The pair also explored their beautiful surrounding while pulled along by two reindeers, one of which Reggie had called Rudolph.

But their visit to Lapland was made when they finally tracked down Santa in his cabin. Once the video came to an end, the cameras returned to the studio where Craig was sat alongside Josie who was emotional after being reminded of her experience with Reggie.

"Tears," Craig was heard saying as Josie replied: "It was the music behind it, that was what did it." Craig then said: "Aw, well done. What a lovely experience to have."

Josie then added: "Thank you to everybody here because we would not have had that experience if it wasn't for you guys, so thank you." Craig, 52, then reached out his hand and asked his co-star: "Do you need a second?" to which she replied: "I'm alright," before getting on with the show.

And This Morning viewers were quick to share how lovely they thought it was. @vickster51 tweeted: "Well this is the wholesome Christmas content I needed. So lovely to see Josie & her son in Lapland #ThisMorning."
