‘KEEP IT UP GIRL’: viewers sent words of ENCOURAGEMENT to Josie Gibson as she shared a live health UPDATE on This Morning as she RETURNED to screens
Josie Gibson has shared a health update live on This Morning about her ‘excruciating’ injured foot.
The presenter, 40, appeared on today’s instalment of the ITV show alongside co-host Dermot O’Leary, 51.
Opening the show, Dermot said: ‘Everyone we have some news… we’re joined by the lovely Josie Gibson. And she’s back! She’s back on her feet!’
‘Today, this morning, I was like Cinderella. They had to bring about seven pairs of shoes for me to try on. To not go over the sort of break,’ Josie explained.
She admitted: ‘I have milked it a bit mind, but a piece of marble fell on my foot when I was brushing my teeth… It still hurts now.’
The TV star pointed her injured foot to the camera and was wearing cream kitten heel shoes.

She appeared on This Morning last month with Alison Hammond, 50, with her foot in a brace and shared how she had injured herself in Dubai in a ‘holiday disaster’.
Josie told viewers how on the second day a bathroom vanity fell on her, completely ‘ruining’ her trip.
‘It was the second day of the holiday, I have always wanted to take my little one to Dubai, went to Dubai for half term,’ she explained.
‘I was brushing my teeth when the vanity unit came down on my foot!’
‘I spent the whole holiday in bed with my leg in the air and in a wheelchair,’ she added.
The presenter also shared images of the bathroom vanity, which was broken into pieces on the floor after the shocking accident
However, there was some confusion over whether she had broken her foot or not, with medics in Dubai saying she had suffered a fracture, while professionals in the UK deemed it ‘soft tissue trauma’.
‘All I know is that when I stand up and the blood rushes to it, the pain is excruciating,’ Josie added.

Alison presented Josie with a gold tasseled and silver glitter mobility scooter with ‘Gibson’ written on the number plate, which she used during the episode.
In Friday’s instalment, Josie had stepped in to replace Alison in a presenter shake-up after show hosts Cat Deeley, 48, and Ben Shephard, 50, revealed the switch-up at the end of Thursday’s episode.
Cat said: ‘Dermot and Josie are going to be here on the show tomorrow, they’ll see you at 10am tomorrow morning.’
While Ben followed with, ‘See you next week, bye bye.’
