And Josie and Craig, who last teamed up to host over Christmas, will get another chance to work together as, right at the end of Friday's episode, it was confirmed by Dermot and his presenting partner in crime, Alison Hammond, that Josie and Craig would be at the helm on Easter Monday.

There was no indication if they will front the show for just one day, or follow Alison and Dermot's lead by doing the job for a whole week, in place of the absent Phillip and Holly.
