Opening the show, Alison explained Dermot's absence before welcoming Josie on the ITV programme.
"And as you can see, I'm joined by the wonderful Josie Gibson today as Dermot is gone for a well-deserved day off today. He's having a break - but I'm happy because I've got you!" Alison said as she welcomed viewers.
Josie then replied: "Thank you for having me. Who would have thought it? A Bristolian and a Brummie presenting This Morning."
As Alison added back, as she joked about their mutual pasts: "It was always going to happen, Josie. Do you know what I was thinking - we both come from Big Brother days. We've got a winner - and a loser."
"I didn't want to say anything, Al, I didn't want to say anything! You are the loser and I am the winner," Josie replied as Alison chimed in with a smile, "But I'm the winner today because I've got you."
Fans took to Twitter were thrilled to see the pair presenting together.
