Josie Gibson opens up about funeral plans on This Morning in emotional moment

This Morning's Josie Gibson has made a surprising revelation about her funeral plans, expressing her wish for quite the send-off.

She confessed on Tuesday (August 6) that she has not only organised her own posthumous video message for loved ones but also desires a festive adieu complete with drag queens and disco music.

The TV star was discussing a shift in funeral preferences, as reported by funeral directors, suggesting that people are increasingly opting for celebratory rather than solemn commemorations.

Embracing the trend, Josie informed her fellow panellists like Nick Ferrari and Craig Doyle, "I want drag queens bringing my coffin in, I want disco music and I've already made a video."

The beloved television host envisions her final farewell to be filled with colour and joy, hoping to demonstrate that "she'd had a really good life" through a heartfelt video she's prepared, reports the Mirror.

But it's not only Josie who's prepped for their curtain call; Nick Ferrari, a familiar face on This Morning, has his own unique vision. He divulged to the team, including Josie and Craig, "I want stunning Moulin Rouge dancers to come and throw a single white rose onto my coffin and then run off weeping."

Currently at the helm of This Morning, Josie and her co-host Craig Doyle are standing in while regulars Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard take a break.

It seems the dynamic duo of Josie and Craig is a hit among viewers with social media buzzing from fans ecstatic about ITV's decision to pair them up for another week of morning TV antics.

Viewers were thrilled with the pairing of Craig and Josie on "This Morning," with one fan exclaiming: "Yes, Craig and Josie are on again, #thismorning" while another agreed, saying: "Josie and Craig have more chemistry than Cat and Ben, love it when they are on #thismorning."

This Morning airs on ITV, weekdays from 10am.
