Josie Gibson screams as she uses world’s fastest zip-wire

Josie Gibson was left in screaming in terror on Friday’s This Morning in a segment that saw her try out the world’s fastest zip-wire.

The TV personality, 35, joked that she was ‘the Bridget Jones of This Morning’ after she was made to try out the terrifying attraction, which is based in North Wales.

Preparing herself for the ordeal, Josie was seen in a harness waiting to be sent off on the zip-wire when she told co-presenter Rochelle Humes: ‘I cannot tell you how windy it is up here, are you sure its hundred per cent safe?’

Josie was reassured that the set up was indeed safe, but she admitted: ‘I’m going to faint here, I’m going to faint. 

‘Am I safe? Can everyone check me again because I’m precious cargo. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to go,’ she said before pleading: ‘No, I don’t want to do it!’

Despite her reservations, Josie was then catapulted down the zip-wire at speed, and she was seen screaming the whole way down the mountain.

Back on land, Josie struggled to get out of her harness with the help of someone who worked at the attraction before talking to Rochelle and Dermot O’Leary. 

‘I am shaking to my core,’ she admitted. ‘Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to do that, as you can see I really enjoyed that.’

Beginning to jump up and down in glee, Josie said: ‘My whole body is shaking here. What an experience, I’m alive, I’m alive!’

Rochelle asked how she felt about doing the zip-wire before asking what her favourite moment was, and Josie quipped: ‘I just can’t believe I’m alive Rochelle, I’m so happy.

‘Feet are on the ground, I’m shaking like a leaf, what a rush. The best bit was landing!’

When Rochelle and Dermot remarked on how she felt like Renee Zellweger’s iconic character, as she claimed: ‘They do call me the Bridget Jones of This Morning so I have to live up to that name.’
