This Morning viewers fume at ‘numpty’ Josie Gibson as she makes HUGE on-air blunder
THIS Morning fans fumed at ‘numpty’ Josie Gibson as she made a huge on-air blunder today.
ITV viewers were left shouting at their screens as presenter Josie, 39, got the words wrong to The Gap Band’s 1979 track, Oops Up Side Your Head on the show.
The telly host had sung, “Ooh, aah, slide your hands,” while enthusiastically mimicking the iconic boat-rowing dance.
And when she wasn’t corrected by her co-host Craig Doyle, or contributors Gyles Brandreth and Ashley James, those at home went into overdrive with frustration.
While they had originally been discussing a Rock The Boat world record being beaten in Derry, Josie’s error was all anybody could think about.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one raged: “I loved The Gap Band classic ‘Oops up slide your hands’ eh Josie Gibson! YOU KNOW!”
Another added: “Josie … I don’t know what you were singing but the lyrics are …say oops upside your head say oops upside your head
say oops upside your head say oops upside your head.”
Someone else agreed: “Does @Josiestweet mean The Gap Band’s “Oops Upside Your Head”? Not “Ooh ah slide your hands” Whatever the heck that is!”
A fourth chimed in with: “It’s oops upside your head Josie!!!!” while a fifth said: “She doesn’t even know the words. What a numpty.”
As the complaints piled in, Josie was left mortified after the correct lyrics were played after the break.
The dumbfounded star said: “After all these years… I can’t believe it.”
Elsewhere in the installment, Josie revealed her secret connection to Ashley as they reunited on the show.
It turned out the pair go way back as they lived together ten years ago after the Made In Chelsea star’s break-up with Matt Richardson, 32.
When things ended crimoniously with the comedian, the mumfluencer admitted she was left broke and alone until her pal moved in.
In heartwarming scenes, the pair came face-to-face again today on the ITV daytime show when Ashley appeared on screen to discuss the news with Gyles Brandreth.
Josie, who had been hosting alongside Craig Doyle, looked delighted to see her old friend.
After a discussion about barbecue cleaning, where Ashley admitted she’d only just given hers a refresh after a year, Gyles pointed out the pair were once roomies.
He exclaimed: “I’m still recovering from the news that you two flat shared for a while.
“What was it like, two girls together? Your habits are very different. Clearly they are. She doesn’t clean the barbecue for a year. You are cleaning it virtually as you are serving the bangers.”
Josie replied, “Oh, we had a wonderful time. Me and Ash did live together and we had a whale of a time, didn’t we?”
Ashley agreed, “Oh, it was so good.”
