ITV This Morning's Josie Gibson shares one thing she wouldn't do on air

Josie Gibson has shared one thing that she said "no" to while presenting This Morning.

The Bristol-born presenter, 38, is set to take to the helm of the ITV talk show over February half term next week. From Monday, February 13 to Thursday, February 16, she will be joined by Dermot O'Leary as they replace regular hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.

Speaking of presenting, Josie said: "I still get nervous. I always say that when you’ve got a presenting partner it's a bit like skiing - and sometimes you’ve got the skiers who know all the slopes and all the technical moves, and sometimes there are those that are a bit more après ski… and it’s learning to deal with those different styles. You always need a passenger and a driver and sometimes it's good to switch from those positions from time to time."

While she loves all of the experiences that she gets while working on the ITV show, Josie said that there is just one thing that she would refuse to do. The mum-of-one said: "I do love all the experiences that I get to do on that show, I get asked to do some really amazing things… but I am a bit of a scaredy cat too.

"There was one time when I was asked to jump out of a plane with the Red Devils and I just couldn’t do it. I think that’s the only thing I couldn’t do."

Josie added: "I definitely get pushed to my limits, and sometimes I don’t always want or think I can do some of the stuff but afterwards I really feel like I’ve achieved something.

“I always think life isn’t about possessions, I’m not one for designer bags and things, I’m all about experiences because I think when you’re gone all you’re taking is your legacy and experiences…all the stuff you buy is only ever rented.

"It’s the memories for me and for those around me. So generally I’m always up for everything because at least I can say I gave it a go."
