Phillip Schofield pauses ITV This Morning to compare Josie Gibson to Hollywood star before cutting remark

Phillip Schofield couldn't help but pause This Morning in order to compare Josie Gibson to a Hollywood star as she helped Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly 'hijack' the show - without them even being there.

The presenter and co-host Holly Willoughby kicked off a fresh week of shows on the ITV daytime programme on Monday (February 27) when they were joined by Josie who made a pretty grand entrance. The TV star, who is often seen filling in for the main presenting duo, had some exciting news to share - and didn't do it by halves.

The former Big Brother winner was rolled into the studio on an enormous plane that was loaned to the team by none other than Ant and Dec who use the impressive prop as part of their hit ITV show Saturday Night Takeaway, which returned over the weekend, during their 'happiest minute of the week' segment which sees them give away a trip of a lifetime.

This year, lucky audience members or viewers watching at home can bag a 'place on the plane' which will see winners jet off to Universal Orlando Resort in Florida. They'll get access to a British Airways exclusive lounge at the airport and get access to all the attractions once in the sunshine state.

And they will also get to be at the Saturday Night Takeaway's series finale taking place live from Universal Studios. To announce a special crossover between This Morning and Saturday Night Takeaway, Josie entered the studio atop of the plane flanked by 'stewards'.

She was sporting a white button-down shirt which she teamed with a pair of aviator sunglasses and styled her blonde locks into loose beachy waves which flowed from underneath her captain's hat. After sharing how viewers could also win an all-expenses paid trip , Phillip took a moment to share his thoughts on Josie's 'new look'.

"Thank you very much," the 60-year-old said starting to end the segment before he added: "But do you know what? Looking at you there, there is more than a passing resemblance to Kelly McGuinness." He then asked her to put her sunglasses back on as Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins rang out into the studio.

But it wasn't quite the cool moment Phillip had hoped for as she scrambled to put her glasses back on, which she got caught in her eyes, before she started to move to the music. Phillip, Holly and other members of the This Morning team started to laugh before Phillip made the cutting remark: "Suddenly it went out the window!"
