Would I Lie to You?: Josie Gibson joins guest cast for new series of BBC comedy show

Bristol's Josie Gibson will be appearing on the new series of the award-winning comedy panel show Would I Lie to You? next Friday (January 20) as a celebrity guest on the panel.

She will be gracing our screens whilst being put on this spot as she attempts to make the other team believe her outlandish stories.

Josie will be joined by strictly judge Shirley Ballas, dragon Steven Bartlett and comedian Chris McCausland, who will all be setting out to hoodwink their opponents with absurd facts and plausible fibs about themselves in a bid to secure a team victory, through rounds such as Home Truths and Quick-fire Lies.

The gameshow has been running for 15 years, having started in 2007. Angus Deayton presented the show between 2007 and 2008, Gavin and Stacey star Rob Brydon has sat in the hotseat since 2009. Both David Mitchell and Lee Mack are regular guests and captain the opposing teams on the offbeat panel show.

If you haven't seen the show before it's a game of deception but mostly importantly laughs. Celebrities reveal unusual facts and tell embarrassing stories but the other guests have to decide whether these stories are true or false. A team gains a point for correctly guessing the validity of the opposing team's story. If a team guesses incorrectly, the team that told the story gets the point.

Since appearing on Big Brother 12 years ago, Josie Gibson has come a long way. The star, who was born in Bristol and is currently a regular host on ITV's This Morning, also appears frequently as a guest host on Channel 5's magazine show OK! TV.

Josie will be on Episode 3 Season 16 of the show which will air on Friday, January 20 at 8pm on BBC1.
