This Morning's Josie Gibson apologises after fashion faux-pas

Josie Gibson felt the need to apologise as her outfit wasn't quite appropriate for today's episode of This Morning.

The presenter was joined by co-host Dermot O'Leary as they stood in for Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby. Josie was dressed in a tight leather skirt and red blouse.

But for one segment, both hosts were made to get down on the floor to take part in a Pilates class, hosted by an expert. But midway through the exercises Josie got cramp in her leg, and feared that viewers may have seen more than they'd hoped for and she rolled around on the floor in her skirt.

Once the session ended, Dermot joked: "I didn't open my eyes for most of that." Appearing flustered and embarrassed, Josie said: "Oh no, sorry about that."

He replied: "No, don't apologise. I just wanted to be a gentleman." She burst out laughing as she fired out several apologies.

After the break, Dermot asked how she was doing. She explained that she had done an intense workout a few days ago and she thinks that caused her leg to cramp up today.

She said: "So I'm so sorry about that, sorry you had to see that." Dermot looked at her with concern as he said: "You don't have to apologise for anything, alright? I think we both didn't make the best choice of outfit. These aren't the best trousers as well."

Fans sympathised with Josie on Twitter. Amy said: "Wardrobe department really stitched Josie up there! #ThisMorning." Another user said: "They’ve definitely put Josie in a tight leather skirt on purpose poor woman #ThisMorning."

Meanwhile, others complimented her for always giving everything a go no matter what. Nicky said: "Haha, love Josie. Keeping it real while trying Pilates. That would be me rolling around the floor and just not being very flexible. Good on you girl for trying. Pilates is NOT easy, and hate self righteous skinny minnie's telling me it is #ThisMorning".

Samantha said: "The best thing of 2023 so far is watching @Josiestweet do Pilates in a leather skirt with cramp, what a trooper @ITV @thismorning" Sarah said: "Josie is such a good sport! She has a go at everything! #thismorning".
