This Morning's Josie Gibson suffers mortifying Britain's Got Talent 'snub' at semi final

Josie Gibson was shown up on Thursday's This Morning as she came clean about being 'snubbed' by Britain's Got Talent as she headed to report on the semi finals.

Like many ITV viewers , Josie is a huge fan of the long-running entertainment show, so jumped at the chance to be able to be at the live semi finals in London this week. She has been keeping her many Instagram followers in the loop as she takes in the performances at the Eventim Apollo, with clips and pictures on her story.

But, while loving the experience as a Britain's Got Talent fan, she's had a job to do on This Morning, feeding back on the performances in the studio the morning after. While the focus of Thursday's episode, hosted by Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary, was of course the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, former Big Brother winner Josie was still there to talk all things BGT.

And it was then that colleague Dermot showed up by getting her to confess where she was sat. Viewers at home might have assumed that, given she is a well known TV personality, Josie would have been given a prime seat in the audience, but the reality was anything but.

When asked if she'd 'fallen asleep half way through,' Josie told Dermot: "I was wide awake because there was a lot of six packs," but, trying to get the truth from her, Dermot quizzed: "Did you have a front row seat?"

Josie replied: "I weren't front row seat; let's have a bit of a word with Britain's Got Talent, I wasn't front row. But...it was, it was a good view."

Fully on the wind up, Dermot asked: "Were you at least one row back so you were in Simon's eyeline?" And finally confessing, Josie responded: "I was not one row back, I was right at the back. But let's not talk about that!"

Dermot exclaimed: "How did that happen?!" as co-host Alison joked: "She was in the green room!"
