Josie Gibson 'can't be bothered' with dating

The sometime 'This Morning' co-host and roving reporter will present the show from Monday (13.02.23) to Thursday 16th February over half term, but the star insists there is "definitely not any valentine" for her as Valentine's Day (14.02.23) approaches.

Asked if she has any romantic plans for Valentine's Day, she replied: "Aside from spending the morning with Dermot on the 14th, I have no plans... I can't even pull a party cracker!"

Talking about her celebrity crushes on Jonathan Ross and Coronation Street's Kevin Webster, she said: "I have met Jonathan Ross since and oh my God! They say never meet your heroes but he was everything and more! I love him even more now.

"We were on a show together and he was such a good talker, you could just listen to him for hours. He is such a good storyteller and really unique and exactly how you'd think he is, just really really nice. But I'm aware he's got a lovely wife!

"I really like Ricky Gervais as well, there's something about him and his dry sense of humour. And yes, I was guilty of saying that Kevin Webster was like a fine red wine ... but there's definitely not any valentine for me this year.

"I'm not sure [her son] Reg would be impressed if I got a boyfriend at the moment.

"He already shares me with This Morning, and I don't want him to share me with anyone else. I just haven't met anybody where I think 'yeah, you could really fit into my life'... and it's also the time and effort too - you've got to meet, trust them, date, work each other out, the messaging, I just can't be bothered!"

Former 'Big Brother' star Josie still "can't quite believe" she gets to co-host 'This Morning' with the likes of Dermot O'Leary and Andi Peters.

She added: "I'm back on 'This Morning' for half term with Derm and I'm completely honoured.

"Whenever I'm sitting there hosting the show, I often look around and think 'how the hell did this happen to me?'.

"I've had so many different hosting partners and I just love Dermot! Derm and Andi [Peters] are who I grew up watching and my mum reminded me recently that I used to demand a taxi home after school so I would make it in time for Andi on the telly! So it's just mad that I'm now sitting beside them myself on the telly. I still can't quite believe it."

'This Morning' airs weekdays from 10am on ITV1 ITVX
