Rylan Clark hilariously responds to This Morning co-star's crush confession

Rylan Clark has hilariously reacted to his This Morning co-star Josie Gibson confessing that she finds him attractive.

During Thursday’s installment of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Gibson revealed appearance-wise her pal and fellow TV star, Clark, is exactly who she’d go for.

Chatting to her campmates Nella Rose and Nigel Farage, the former Big Brother star explained: “Do you know who’s my type?

“Obviously, he’s not my type in other ways… but if someone gave me a straight Rylan… I’d love that, I think he’s beautiful.”

Unperturbed by her campmates’ stunned reactions, she later shared in the bush telegraph: “I like a goatee, Rylan. I like them tall, Rylan.

“And I like them with a nice bit of hair, Rylan. And I like them with nice eyes, Rylan. Everything just screams Rylan, but I don’t think he’s barking up my tree.”

Gibson shared the confession in camp on Thursday night's show (ITV)

Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly couldn’t help but poke fun at her confession, joking: “I think he’s in a different forest.”

Clark couldn’t help but reference Ant and Dec’s quip as he joked about Gibson’s revelation on his Instagram stories.

Sharing a selfie from a very, very deserted “forest”, the BBC Radio 2 presenter wrote: “Me in the other forest Love ya @josiegibson.”

He also joked on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Listen the way it’s been going with the fellas…… you might be in @Josiestweet.”

While romance may not blossom between the pair, viewers were left laughing over Gibson’s confession in camp.

One viewer wrote on X: “Josie thirsting after Rylan I am DEAD”.

“It looks like we all had the same reaction to Josie’s revelation,” another commented. “I'm with Josie, if Rylan was straight I would.”

A fourth added: “Omg we have to get @Rylan to take Josie out on a date when she gets back.. It would be iconic”.
