This Morning's Josie Gibson wants Elon Musk to slide into her DMs

Telly host Josie Gibson says she is fired up by super-rich space nut Elon Musk... and would like to see his rocket.

But Josie insists it’s the Tesla and SpaceX founder’s brainpower she’s interested in – not his £180billion stash of cash.

Musk, who is the world’s richest man, has been married three times. But, like Josie, he is currently single after splitting with singer Grimes – mum to two of his eight kids.

Josie says she has little time for love at the moment, but would be open to an approach from Musk – or him “sliding into my DMs”, in social media messaging speak.

This Morning host Josie, 37 – who won Big Brother in 2010 – says: “Elon Musk just fascinates me.

“I like how intelligent he is. I like intelligence.

"I’d be a bit scared but I’d like to see his rocket, yeah.”

Josie says she does not expect Elon to come calling, though. She adds: “He could have the most beautiful women in the world. He is too famous for me.

"People don’t slide into my DMs. I never get chatted up, never.”

Musk, 51, has said of dating: “I’m looking for a long-term relationship, not a one-night stand. I’m looking for a serious companion or soulmate.”

Josie, who has a three-year-old son called Reg, says she is happy to stay single as potential suitors would only be able to see her twice a month.

She adds: “If I start dating somebody, that is time spent with them that I could be spending with Reg.

"Everybody loves a bit of attention but I want to spend all my time with my little boy. I get a lot of love from Reg.”
