This Morning fans have been left with questions after a well-loved host returned to the show.
Josie Gibson, 38, returned to present the ITV daytime show on Friday (August 11), usually presenting the programme with co-host Craig Doyle.
But in a major shake-up to the presenting line-up, Craig was nowhere to be seen on the show.

Instead, the former Big Brother winner was joined by Alison Hammond to present the show.
Alison, who normally hosts on Fridays with Dermot O’Leary, has been on a break from the show for the last couple of weeks.

Opening the show, Josie welcomed Alison, 48, back to the set with both gushing over each other.
“You’re amazing!” Josie doted, to which Alison replied: “No, you’re amazing!”
Alison explained that despite being on summer break for the show, she opted to return to the show for Friday’s edition to kill time ahead of jetting off.
“I thought you were going on holiday,” Josie said to her co-host.
Alison then quipped: “I changed my flights just for you, my love!” before explaining that she was due to go on holiday tomorrow instead (August 12).

Gibson’s co-host Craig announced he would not be presenting the show at the start of Thursday’s show, saying he would be going on holiday himself.
“Hello, hello, hello everyone! Welcome to Thursday. I’m a bit giddy, my holiday’s tomorrow!” he beamed.
Josie then announced that Alison would be making a return for one day only during the summer.
“There two of us in here, me and Alison Hammond – I don’t know how they are going to manage us!” she joked.

But regular fans of the flagship ITV show were left in shock when Alison appeared on-screen.
Taking to social media, one user wrote: “Josie and Alison presenting? Gonna be interesting… and very, very loud.”
Another viewer tweeted a GIF directing the comment at Craig, asking: “Where you at?”
Whilst a third said: “Erm cancel that holiday Alison you’re on!”
