He said: "She is much improved from her stomach bug, but still not quite there.
"She will be by Monday, but she's had a proper rough time with it"
Josie sent a message to say she hopes she recovers from her sickness as soon as possible.
She added: "There's only so much I can wing it for so hurry up and get back Holly. "
Josie shared a message on her Instagram stories after yesterday's show praising the usual hosts for making presenting the show "look so easy".
She said: "It's not even 3 o'clock yet and I've had to go and have a little lie down.
"Honestly, it's so much concentration. My brain is fried and it was quite fried anyway."
Josie's appearances on This Morning have been a hit with fans as she has continued to win acclaim for her presenting skills on today's show.
Karen said: "Thank you for the gift that just keeps on giving, @Josiestweet is the most refreshing host on TV at the moment love her."
Darren added: "Josie is the best stand in presenter ever. I think her presenting contact should be made more permanent!"
Selina commented: "Please don't make @Josiestweet go back to dressing up as a pigeon or whatever - dunno if she enjoys it but she's a natural in the studio, you should keep her."
Ryan tweeted : "Kinda loving Josie presenting #ThisMorning. Can we keep her instead."
