This Morning's Josie Gibson bitten by stress-relieving pig in chaotic live moment

They always say don't work with animals and This Morning's Josie Gibson proved just that in a live segment for the show which saw her get bitten by a pig reports The Mirror.

The former Big Brother star and Bristol native appeared on ITV's This Morning to tell viewers about how pigs can be good stress relievers.

It came as Josie was presenting a competition for This Morning and when the star bent down to stroke one of the pigs, it bit her hand twice.

Despite the incident causing Josie to shout 'Ow' she tried to carry on which led to her being bitten yet again.

Josie said: "I can't believe it bit me," before turning to the farmer and asking: "Why didn't you tell me they bite?"

The show was being hosted by husband and wife Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford and Josie's predicament led to Eamonn telling Ruth that pigs are a great way to dispose of a dead body as they'd 'eat' everything.

This comes not long after Josie and fellow presenter and former Big Brother star Alison Hammond launched a new show together which sees them put their friendship to the test in Alison and Josie's Staycation Showdown which sees them compete against one another in a battle to find the quirkiest place to stay.
