Holly Willoughby enters panic mode over fears Josie becomes new ITV golden girly

Josie Gibson has been a real prominent figure during this whole scandal. Alongside Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary, Josie has stepped UP to the ITV hostess plate. According to sources, Holly Willoughby is entering panic mode as Josie was papped getting close with Amanda Holden at Royal Ascot races.

Insiders also say Josie and Amanda’s new found friendship has made Holly feel “fragile and fearful.” A source said: “Josie’s increased closeness with Amanda has left Holly a bit put out. She’s already feeling fragile at the moment, given all that’s happened, and she’s trying to move on from everything that’s happened. Josie’s been an amazing support to her and someone to lean on. And while she adores Josie, her spending time with Amanda and acting like BFFs, after Amanda seemed to publicly mock her at her most vulnerable, has left Holly feeling wary and fearful that they could grow closer. Meanwhile, Josie and Amanda really enjoyed spending time together. They hit it off at Ascot and got on like a house on fire. And it certainly hasn’t gone over their heads that they are both potentially waiting in the wings, should Holly leave, and that they could find themselves as a duo on the This Morning sofa at some point in the future.”

Josie has had a serious glam up in recent weeks and has even started sharing her outfits on Instagram ahead of her presenting on This Morning. Sources are claiming she’s going to scoop Holly and become the newest ITV golden girl as “everything she touches right now seems to turn gold.”
