Josie Gibson surprised her This Morning co-stars by admitting to a very unusual hobby.
The presenter is a much-loved addition to the ITV show's family and is currently fronting the show alongside Craig Doyle for the remainder of the week as usual hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby take their Easter break.
During a discussion on the ITV show, talk soon turned to a new commemorative coin that had been released by the Royal Mint ahead of the coronation of King Charles as Josie's hobby was revealed live on air.
Sharing her obsession with collecting coins, Josie revealed she loves to keep 50ps and has 100s in her collection.
Josie also told her co-stars she has folders where she displays them and wanted to get her hand on the coronation one. Her co-star Craig then asked if he could reveal what else she collected as she hesitated before agreeing.
He then shared how she collected calculators, as the show's two guests - who were sat in for the news debate - asked her which kind. Admitting she was "weird", Josie said she loved to collect all different types of calculators - old and new.
"I collect 50ps, I’ve collected 50ps for years! I’m always on the royal mint. Always," she shared of her collecting obsession, "I have books and books and books of them! If you’re a collector, you’re a collector."
Journalist Tom Swarbick then added: "It’s not tender is it, it’s just a thing. You can’t [use it], but it’s a beautiful thing to have in your collection," as he understood Josie's love of the coin collecting.
Josie had previously confessed to still feeling nervous, despite being a regular guest host on the show now.
"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 apres 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," she shared earlier this year as she discussed hosting the show.
"Talking of skiing, Me and Alison had the best time filming on the slopes together recently and what a blast that was! We’ve filmed a new series ‘Off the Piste’ for This Morning and I got to celebrate my birthday there with her too which was amazing."
Josie - who has son Reggie - added: "I am so lucky! I just have the best job ever! I get to dip my toe on the sofa, I get to do the competitions, and I get to be part of these mini series too - I’m living my best life!"
