This Morning's Josie makes bizarre confession over love for Ben Shephard

Josie Gibson and Vernon Kay were at the helm of This Morning on Monday, as Holly and Phil continue to enjoy some time off over the Easter holidays.

This week's first instalment of the popular ITV show saw the hosts joined by Tipping Point presenter Ben Shephard. Ben was on the show to celebrate his programme's tenth anniversary.

Josie has previously been a contestant on Celebrity Tipping Point, and the segment teased one of her incorrect answers. When asked a question about a tennis player, the Bristolian TV star said: "Is it the one with the lovely hair?"

Viewers were shown a clip of the episode, which saw Josie compete against Olympian Greg Rutherford and Judge Rob Rinder. Ben could be seen laughing as Josie answered.

Josie then made an unusual confession about her love for Ben. She said: "I've got my Ben Shephard swimsuit, and your face is in a really funny place.

"And I've also got my Ben Shephard deckchair which I get out every summer and I sit on. With your face on it, as well. We're always reminded of Ben Shephard in our garden in the summer."

Co-host Vernon later shared his wife Tess had built him a "shep-shed" for their garden for his birthday.

This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV and the ITV Hub
