A fun stunt on This Morning today left fans concerned for the safety of presenters Alison Hammond and Josie Gibson.

Early in the show, Josie was gifted a mobility scooter by Alison, after she revealed she had injured her foot while on holiday in Dubai and was hobbling around on crutches. The former Big Brother star then proceeded to drive the scooter around the studio between presenting segments, and things took a fun turn after one commerical break, with Josie driving the scooter back into the studio while Alison was sitting on her lap.

However, some fans were concerned that the joke stunt could be dangerous. “Not satisfied with one accident!?,” wrote one viewer on X, formerly known as Twitter, while another commented “This could all go very wrong.” However, other viewers saw the funny side.

“What am I seeing? Alison and Josie on the mobility scooter!” commented one fan, adding some laughing emojis, and another joined in, adding: “Love it when Alison and Josie are presenting. My favourites,” with a photo of the pair of them with the scooter, which had been blinged up with gold fringing for Josie.

Josie was injured while in Dubai with her son Reggie. She shared that a bathroom cabinet in her hotel room fell from the wall and landed on her foot. “It was the second day of the holiday, I have always wanted to take my little one to Dubai. I was brushing my teeth when the vanity unit came down on my foot,” she explained, as co-host Alison Hammond gasped. She shared a photo of the smashed cabinet, and said it cracked over her foot.

Earlier this week, Josie, 40, had posted on social media that she had made a dash to hospital with an undisclosed health issue. It is likely it was her foot injury she was having treated, as she told co-presenter Alison Hammond that while she was diagnosed with a fractured foot in Dubai, a British doctor she saw on her return had said she had suffered soft tissue damage.

She shared a photo that showed directions for the Fracture & Orthopaedic Clinics and a Trauma Assessment Unit on signs visible on a wall on the site. Over the photo, she wrote in the caption: “You couldn’t even make it up”. Josie’s post had background music as rock band Mazzy Star’s song Cry Cry was heard playing.

Josie previously jetted to Dubai as part of her new travel series, The First Class Travel Show. She stayed at the luxurious Anantara at the Palm, which boasts personal infinity pools and a private beach, and in an interview revealed that she planned to return with six year old Reggie.

“I think he would quite like Dubai because it’s geared up for kids,” she said, noting that he would be especially impressed with the place she stayed. “I was in a villa on the water with a glass floor, so you can look down at the sea while you’re having your breakfast.”
