Josie Gibson called Philip Schofield her 'rock' as she thanked him for helping her through a 'surreal' week co-hosting This Morning.
The former Big Brother star issued a gushing message to her co-star and viewers after she stepped up on the ITV show.
Fans have been so impressed that some even called for her to replace Holly Willoughby full-time when the beauty eventually calls time on the popular programme.
Holly hasn't been well this week, and her friend certainly didn't let her down.
Stepping into her shoes she sparkled alongside Phil as the bed-ridden regular stayed home to get over her tummy bug.
Josie clearly loved her time on the This Morning - and said sorry for some mistakes she made over the past three days.
She wrote on Instagram : "What a surreal week it's been!!!!
"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.
“You have made me laugh so much especially in the make-up room. Thank you for being there for me, thank you for being so gentle, warm and kind and thank you for being so bloody hilarious!”
Josie added: Love you Schofe, what a legend!"
Fans want to see more of her after a break week filling in for her stricken colleague.
One viewer tweeted: "Petition for Josie Gibson to become a full time presenter #thismorning' while another added: "Perhaps Holly has some competition?"
Another posted: "Josie's doing an outstanding job… would love to see her present far more often. That said, really hope Holly gets well soon."
A fourth said: "Absolutely loving Josie on This Morning! She's so natural and presents like she's been doing it for years. What a breath of fresh air. Please get her to stay."
