This Morning’s Josie Gibson has recently replaced Phillip Schofield on the sofa – and it seems she’s already being eyed up for her next gig.
The TV favourite has often stood in as a relief host on the main show while also filming segments for the prizes and meeting the winners on ITV.

But as she stood beside Holly Willoughby when she made her statement following Phillip’s departure, Josie has only grown in the favour of the fans.
And ITV bosses have certainly noticed, so it seems they’re now hoping to get her on board with one of their biggest reality shows.

According to The Sun, bosses think Josie would be a hit with viewers and negotiations with her team have started.
A TV source said Josie could be offered a £100,000 contract and talks are at an “advanced stage”.
They said Josie has always been a huge fan of the series and is “interested and looking at the bigger picture of her TV career”.
Josie has been building a successful career ever since she found fame in 2010 when she won Big Brother.
She became a regular guest host on Channel 5 and continued to focus on her presenting career before landing a regular spot on This Morning to cover the competitions.
But after becoming a relief host too, ITV bosses have quickly realised how popular Josie is with the fans and she’s currently one of the members of the team who are supporting Holly in Phil’s absence.

In Holly’s first statement after Phil’s exit from the show and confession about his relationship with a younger staff member, she confirmed Josie would continue to support.
She said: “From my heart, can I just say thank you for all of your kind messages. And thank you for being here this morning.
“Myself, Josie (Gibson), Dermot (O’Leary), Alison (Hammond), Craig (Doyle), and every single person that works on this show will continue to work hard every single day to bring you this show that we love.”
