Josie Gibson leaves This Morning viewers in hysterics as she falls into the water while trying to surf in a lagoon in Bristol in hilarious segment

Josie Gibson left fans in hysterics when she tried her hand at surfing in a hilarious segment during Friday’s edition of This Morning.

The TV presenter, 36, was speaking from The Wave in Bristol to discuss what people can get up to after lockdown restrictions are lifted on Monday.

She made quite the splash while trying to catch a wave for the first time at the inland lagoon, but fell over into the water before she could get up onto the surfboard.

Before taking to the water, Josie tried to interview one of the staff at the centre, however their audio appeared to not be working.

Both Josie and the coach were hardly audible during the discussion, and Dermot joked that he ‘didn’t hear a word of that’ when Josie headed to the lagoon.

A coach helped push Josie along in the lagoon and gave her a hand to get up on the board, but she only managed to get up on her knees before toppling into the water.

The TV star told MailOnline that she no longer feels ‘sexy’ and only sees herself as a ‘working mum’ now her body is at an ‘uncomfortable size’.

She explained: ‘I have obviously been big my whole life – I have always been one of those people that’s struggled with my weight.

‘In 2013 I lost weight and then I started putting it on again when I had my son in 2019 and it’s getting to a point now where I feel really, really uncomfortable. I feel uncomfortable with the size I am. I am a size 18.

‘I would like to be a comfortable 12 or a 12-14. I would be so happy with that. I have been a size 8. I don’t think it suits me and it’s a lot of work to get there so I just need to find that happy medium. A size 12 would be ideal.’ 

Transformation: It comes after Josie revealed plans to transform her size 18 figure to a size 12 after falling back into 'unhealthy habits' of overeating bread and chocolate
