Josie Gibson became a household name this summer after she was drafted in by ITV to support Holly Willoughby on her return to This Morning, but she isn't sticking around.
Josie's appearance on the ITV show came following the dramatic scandal involving Phillip Schofield having an 'unwise but not illegal' affair with a much younger colleague.

She has reportedly been at the centre of a fierce bidding war between ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, which wants her as a campmate, and the BBC, which wants to see her waltz onto the dancefloor in Strictly Come Dancing.
Mark says that given the recent boost to her profile, it would make sense for Josie to strike out on her own - but she needs to do it quickly.
“She supported Holly but she’s got a limited shelf life to prove to the world that she can do it by herself and she’s not going to just be
