Josie Gibson has 'best birthday ever' with Alison Hammond as pals tease new ITV This Morning scenes

Josie Gibson and Alison Hammond have sent fans wild by filming together, hinting that there are exciting scenes to come on ITV's This Morning. The presenters, who are also close friends, shared a glimpse into their recent trip to the French Alps, which coincided with Josie's birthday.

On Wednesday, Alison, 47, posted a photo of the pair all dressed up in snow gear, sporting some rather fetching safety helmets. The duo had stern looks on their faces as they stood on the ice looking into the distance, seemingly gearing up for a challenge.

"Today's Mood," Alison captioned the picture, adding: "Alison and Josie go off piste, coming soon". The star also tagged This Morning, sending fans into a frenzy hoping that they would be able to see what the pair have been up to on the daytime show soon.

Alison and Josie are firm friends off the camera, having spent Christmas with each other last year. And it appears fans are desperate to see the pair in more scenes together.

Celeb pal Tamzin Outhwaite commented: "I love the idea of you two together!!!!", with one person replying: "They could be the next French and Saunders." sallysmed said: "Love you two - Def need your own show xx"

Another fan, tanyajoanner, said: "God I love you girls, you proper crack me up", while samantha_jane_wilkinson commented: "Now that's something I don't want to miss. Them two together are pure comedy gold."

skyrmeellie said: "I can't wait to watch this!" and themumpractitioner said: "Brilliant! Love you guys as a duo". Trying to work out what the upcoming scenes might entail, happysacksltd noted: "I see sled tracks... Exciting."

It comes after the pair celebrated Josie's birthday during their trip to La Plagne. On Tuesday, Alison posted a collage of photos to her Instagram featuring her pal. "Happy Birthday to this absolute Gem of a woman," Alison wrote alongside the snaps. "Miss Josie Gibson! Life is better with you in the world. Have a wonderful day and hope you get all the love you deserve."

On her Instagram Story, Josie shared a glimpse into their celebrations as she turned 38. She posted a video of her being cheered by her pals as she headed into a snow-covered hut, followed by Alison and other friends and colleagues. Inside, the group enjoyed a birthday dinner for Josie around a cosy table with a fire pit in the centre of it.

Josie posted: "I feel so blessed to have been able to have spent my birthday with such wonderful people at The Cocoon in @la_plagne."

In another post on her grid, Josie shared a video clip of her and Alison dressed up in their skiing gear at the top of a snowy mountain as the sun went down in the background. The pair posed up a storm as the song Work It by Missy Elliot played in the background. Josie captioned the video: "BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!"

It comes just a few days after Josie had to confirm to her fans that she was still single. Rumours had emerged that the ITV presenter was dating her cameraman Sam Morter after they were snapped holding hands at the Eiffel Tower.

"He's my cameraman, I am still single, I am like Sam Morter's auntie. I'm like a very proud auntie," she told followers in a video filmed at her hotel. "We're all very close, but not that close, alright?" she added.
