Josie Gibson inundated with same ITV This Morning request from fans after 'for those asking' post

Josie Gibson couldn't escape being inundated with the same request from fans after she took to Instagram with a fresh post. The presenter has been back on screens this week as the main host of This Morning. She has been fronting the show alongside Craig Doyle after stepping in over the Easter break.

Josie and Craig were roped back in to be at the helm of the ITV daytime programme following Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary's previous week-long stint filling in for This Morning's main hosting duo Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield who have been enjoying a two-week break from TV duties.

And the pair have had a busy week fronting the show with Craig even admitting on Thursday (April 13) that he was tired and close to tears as Josie had to comfort him. Opening the penultimate episode of the week, Josie said; "A big hello to you and welcome to your Thursday's This Morning," before turning to her co-host and adding: "It's been a really good week, hasn't it, Craig?"

And while he agreed, he did say: "It's Thursday though. It feels like a five-coffee day. It can be a five-coffee Thursday. I feel like I could cry at a phone-in today. It depends if, anything like a sick dog phone in or anything emotional I might cry."

Soon after, he said: "I might start crying early doors here because nostalgia really upsets me sometimes." He then explained that they were going to be talking about Tupperware but as he was reading his link, Josie had to put her arm around her fellow presenter as he said; "I'm going to cry about food storage."

Comforting him, former Big Brother winner Josie said: "He's a bit emotional today. But come on, it's going to be alright. Everything's going to be alright in the end," before she had to confirm that Tupperware has said it could go out of business.

But the pair ended the show in good spirits and Josie later took to Instagram with a string of glam snaps taken behind-the-scenes at the ITV studio. The 38-year-old looked gorgeous as she showed off her outfit from the show which was made up of a pastel purple top with a pair of figure-flattering black trousers.

"For those asking," Josie captioned the post before adding all the details fans were after. She wrote: "Top is @riverisland. Bottoms @phaseeight. Styled by @rachaelhughesstyle. Makeup @makeupbymikey. Hair @mauriceflynn." And while fans were quick to compliment the former Big Brother star, they also made their feelings clear on her This Morning role.

@ivandiamantewolf said: "I keep thinking that you should be the one Full Time on This Morning. In fact, I have started to watch it again since you are there." @michael_p_wilkinson commented: "Josie you and Craig are brilliant!!! You bring a freshness to a tired show… thank you!! We need a change."

@anniebunting wrote: "Just saying out loud!!! Josie is just absolutely stunningly beautiful, has the most genuine personality and her genuine innocence, interest, sense of humour and attitude to life and those around her, is much appreciated and needed! You absolutely rock Josie."

@kez25_2000 pleaded: "Please can @itv make you and @craigadoyle a permanent everyday feature on @thismorning? You’re both fantastic and work so well together." @jane.broadbent.965 echoed: "Wish @ITV would keep @josiegibson85 @craigadoyle on full time you have made my week so so professional and funny brilliant." @natsmyname_73 added: "You looked beautiful Josie! You are doing such an amazing job presenting This Morning! I think you’re fab, a breath of fresh air. Well done!"
