Josie Gibson
Internal events, awards nights and conference plenaries live or die on the person at the front. Audiences switch off when the host is stiff, scripted, or visibly above the room. The brief is to find someone the audience already trusts on screen and who can carry a live room with warmth, pace and unfiltered personality.
Josie Gibson is an ITV This Morning presenter and live event host who brings recognisable, warm-hearted broadcast presence to brand events, awards ceremonies and audience-facing moderation.

Biography
Live audiences are unforgiving. They feel a host who is performing at them rather than with them, and they switch off fast. The work of carrying a room with warmth, pace and on-the-fly recovery is craft, and it is built only by doing it for years on live television.
Josie Gibson has built that craft on ITV’s This Morning, the UK’s longest-running daytime magazine show, where she presents alongside Alison Hammond, Dermot O’Leary and Rylan. Daytime television is unscripted by design: she has the reflexes to handle a guest going off-piste, a feature that runs short, or a tonal shift between segments without losing the audience.
Her wider profile sits on top of that broadcast spine. She first reached a national audience as the winner of Big Brother UK Series 11 in 2010, and reinforced her live-television credentials reaching the final four on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in 2023. Brand work with Samsung, Very, Next Clothing, Regatta, Babybel and Cawston Press has given her sustained experience of representing partners on camera and in live settings.
For organisations, this translates into a specific kind of value. Gibson is recognisable to UK staff and customer audiences from a programme they actually watch, and she brings the unscripted live-television temperament that internal events, awards ceremonies and brand activations need to feel like genuine moments rather than corporate set pieces.
