Josie Gibson and Rylan Clark left screaming on This Morning as she drops HUGE hint she’s going into the jungle
TERRIFIED Josie Gibson and Rylan Clark screamed after being forced to confront their fears on This Morning today.
It comes as The Sun revealed Josie, 38, is gearing up to enter I’m A Celebrity and take part in gruesome trials next month.
She hosted ITV’s This Morning alongside Rylan Clark on Monday, and dropped a huge hint she’s heading into the jungle.
Josie wored a khaki green jumper dress which she teamed with a black belt, while hosting a segment on terrifying creepy crawlies.
The shaking Bristolian star soon wailed when she was confronted with a big hairy spider.
She told viewers: “Our producers are in our ear saying get in closer, get in closer!”
Rylan – who was recently been terrorised by a snake on the loose in his own home – said: “Normally they’d team up presenters where one of them is like, ‘yeah, I’m up for it’. Not today.”
Begging for a swap, he screamed: “Where’s Ranvir Singh?!”
Tanks of snakes, spiders, and cockroaches were laid out in front of the pair, but Josie kept a safe distance.
She tried to touch the snake but couldn’t go through with it.
Viewers enjoyed the taster of what is to come on I’m A Celeb.
One reacted on X, formerly Twitter: “Josie looks petrified just standing near bugs and crawlies and she is rumoured to be going into the jungle?!?!”
One more said: “If Josie is going into the jungle..after watching her reaction to the creatures on today….she is going to be hilarious.”
Back in July, The Sun revealed how This Morning anchor Josie has penned a bumper jungle deal.
An ITV insider said: “Josie is hugely popular with This Morning viewers and producers were determined to get her.
“She is seen as the perfect person for the jungle as she’s already such a familiar face on ITV and will bring her fanbase with her.
“She’s incredibly down-to-earth and seems to strike a chord with people at home. Plus they’re confident Josie will bring the laughs to I’m A Celebrity, as she already does on This Morning, and is guaranteed to get on with most of the jungle campmates.”
Bristol-born Josie won Big Brother 2010 but her TV career appeared to have stalled until she started as a competition announcer on This Morning in 2019.
In 2021, she became a part-time presenter, filling in at short notice for Holly Willoughby.
And this May she found herself firmly in the spotlight following Phillip Schofield’s exit.
