Josie Gibson red-faced as she's sent message by secret Corrie crush on This Morning

Josie Gibson was left red-faced today as she faced her secret Coronation Street crush on This Morning today.

The loveable Bristolian, 37, has been filling in for Holly Willoughby while she's isolating at home with Covid.

Last week, Josie likened gruff Corrie legend Michael Le Vell, who has played mechanic Kevin Webster since 1983, to a "glass of red wine that gets better with age".

What she didn't expect today, however, was to receive a personal message from the actor himself.

Reminding her of her comments last week, Phil cheekily remarked: "She doesn't know anything about this, he's actually been in touch."

Shocked and turning red, Josie gasped as she put her hands in front of her mouth.

"He's not here is he?" Josie asked.

"No he's not here," Phil said. "You went big on that one, didn't you? No, he wanted to say this..."

Michael then popped up on screen as he addressed her and said: "Hi Josie. It's Michael Le Vell. I saw your little 'fine wine' comment on This Morning the other day. Someone sent it me, and you know what?

"Every now and again in the pub, I just play it to the lads to wind them up. But thanks a lot for that! And maybe one day we'll meet up in person in the studio! Thanks again and have a wonderful day."

Josie's face was completely flushed as she waved at the screen and said: "Oh, he's so handsome! He's so handsome! Yeah, he's lovely. Thanks for that! I didn't know anything about that! Wow, that was amazing. Um, yeah. He's definitely a fine red wine, isn't he?"

*This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV
