Since starting work at This Morning, Josie Gibson has become no stranger to getting into some very random situations and Thursday's edition of the daytime show was no different, as the Bristolian cuddled some cows. Yes, you did read that correctly...
Host Phillip Schofield even had to issue a safety warning. He said: "We have to point out, every time we do this, is to say that these are special cows. They are specially bred, it's a careful environment." And then - he cut to the Bristolian presenter, who seemed at home at the farm she was reporting from.

"Do not go into the country today and attempt to cuddle a cow," said Schofe as Josie was getting friendly with her new cow pals. She spoke to assistantant farm director, Darryl Biggs at a farm in Rutland. He said that none of their cows or bulls ever get sent to slaughter and therefore live long and happy lives.
He said: "The cow cuddling is really a way for the general public to come and engage with the project to find out more about cows. There's a lot of people in the country who love cows and this is a way that they can come and find out more."
And without further ado, Josie got cosy with a cow called 'Roly'. "I'm really surprised at how soft they are", she said, positively beaming from the experience. Viewers took to Twitter to express their delight for the star. One viewer even said: "New dream job unlocked: cow cuddling instructor #ThisMorning."
This Morning airs weekdays on ITV and ITV Hub at 10am
