Josie to be a showbiz presenter on C5's OK! TV

[James]

Josie's agent posted on Twitter that Josie will be a showbiz presenter on Channel 5's OK! TV.


Josie is going to be a showbiz presenter on new Channel 5 show OK! TV, and her first day is Wednesday week.
about 2 hours ago via HootSuite


OK! TV is replacing Live From Studio 5 and is presented by Denise van Outen and This Morning's Matt Johnson.

[Vodka Drinka]

Is this a wind up?! The Heffalump couldn't present a charity auction in a village pub! Why is she getting gigs over experienced presenters?

[Jordan.]

This is going to be a complete mess, she has no presenting skills. She even messed up when she was on loose women and they had to apologize. :bored:

[Stephanie]

:joker:

[Marsh.]

Apologise on Loose Women for what?

And it's only the replacement show for Live from Studio Five, any experienced, respectable Tv presenters wouldn't go near. And it makes sense given who's bought the channel.
As if channel 5 wasn't bargain basement already.

[Suze]

I'm not bothered if she is, as I don't watch that sort of c*ap anyway :joker: so can happily avoid her :hugesmile: I expect she will be way worse than Kate Lawler ever was on RISE, which saw that show sink :joker:

The kids will be happy, Shrek on TV everyday.

Well, we'll only know how good she is at presenting when she does it. You've got to start somewhere. It will probably be something like red-carpet interviews I'd guess. And what's with all these shallow remarks about looks? :conf2: :sleep:

I thought Kate Lawler was a perfectly okay presenter on RI:SE, btw. :hugesmile:

Apologise on Loose Women for what?

For saying 'Bloody'

[Princess]

She did pretty good on Loose Women besides saying 'bloody'. Channel 5 like Josie,she's been on Live on Channel 5 and The Vanessa Show and her and John have a show coming up soon.

[Stu]

Thrilling news for both of her fans.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Josie?

Laura and James? :tongue:

[Princess]

Just cos no-one likes her on here,doesn't mean people don't like her elsewhere. The entire BB fan population doesn't reside here :tongue:

[InOne]

Well could be worse, you could be a Jedward fanatic lol

[Locke.]

Poor Josie

Must be terrible only having 2 fans

[Princess]

Well could be worse, you could be a Jedward fanatic lol

Exactly,be glad I'm not a Jedward fanatic!

The only reason Channel 5 like her is because it's been taken over by the owner of OK magazine, Richard Desmond. Josie has a contract to appear in OK. Trust me it's nothing to do with her "talent". Although I'm sure the one day "presenting course" she did before Christmas will set her up in good stead:joker:

Exactamundo, Voddy :thumbs: Because if any JJJ fan can seriously tell me what talents Josie Gibson has :conf: then I am all virtual ears.

Not saying this just because Ben is my fave from BB11, but he seems the only one of that lot with any presenting skills, and so he would being in that part of the media beforehand anyway. During the mock Jerry Springer show Ben was brilliant. Presenting skills don't just appear or are there after a one day course, they need to be learnt. Some have them and some don't, and I feel that Josie will be/is one of those who doesn't. She is just a reality show winner, practicarly given that win on a plate from the outset not through popularity so much.

There I have said my piece on this and will zip it now on this thread.

You could atleast wait and see what she's like as a presenter before slating her:rolleyes:

What experience does she have again? Apart from the very brief course she did?

She''s thick and barely literate, you need to be able to string a decent sentence together to be a TV presenter.

She's also, friendly, likeable and bubbly which are also good qualities to have in a presenter. You can be incredibly articulate but have none of the qualities I mentioned and no one would want to watch you either!

They do add to the appeal of a presenter, but not essential. Pity though that imho anyway, Josie has none of those qualities, if you believe a presenter needs those qualities.

[Niamh.]

Extremelly debateable

I'm not even a big fan of the girl but she seemed very friendly most of the time on BB


Extremelly debateable

She won BB, she was atleast the most likeable of all the contestants.

Extremelly debateable

Really?:conf:

You might think she hasn't got these qualities but a lot of people do and I believe they're essential in a good presenter.

[_Seth]

As much as I love Josie, it doesn't seem as though she'd be a good presenter. For saying 'Bloody'

That's not even a swear!

[Vodka Drinka]

Josie is neither friendly or likable. She's bitchy, snide, two faced and manipulative with penchant for telling lies.

:joker::joker::joker::joker::joker:

she obviously is likeable, she did win BB after all, that requires a person to be liked.

[Callum]

This show is going to crash and burn just like Live from Studio Five, I can just tell. Matt Johnson is absolutely terrible on This Morning from the few times I've seen him and Josie Gibson as a presenter? Seriously? :joker:

[MTVN]

Thought Josie was quite good on Loose Women actually, she could do a decent job of this. It's only a laid-back talk show focusing on celebrities I guess, not like she's presenting the 10 o'clock news

[Suze]

Of course she was liked, so was every other ex BB contestant, they all have their supporters no matter how few or many, the same as they have their dislikers. The fact she won BB does not mean she was liked any more than any other BB11 housemate though. For instance many obstacles were continually moved out of the pre ordained one's way in BB. Ex housemates have commented on how many times she was pulled up by BB. She broke rules, and what we saw of Josie on the online feed the same as JJ1 was different to how the highlights were seen in their context. The fact Josie was not up to give people the chance to vote her out early on also didn't help. She manipulated her way through BB along with BB's help especially with the fake romance, so Kudos to her for being cleverly manipulative. Actually that is one skill I suppose she possesses after all :joker: She got a free pass to the final which BB must have relied on her getting when they offered it, if not they would probably have had a back up plan ready. They also changed the voting re the other eight after voting had started to ensure Josie was up against four practicularly no one would rather won.

However, we are now talking about her outside BB, and who's to know if she is well liked now, or if indeed anyone is really that interested in her anymore. BB11 is finished and much fades with it if they don't still impact, even Josie Gibson and her lapdog. But Josie and her lapdog didn't want fame did they? She said herself she is not a zeleb :joker: So they won't mind when it flops :joker:

Live from Studio Five was a massive flop from the start. The producers couldn't decide what to do with it, the presenters constantly changes and the whole production was cheap and tacky.

Why?


I do not feel she is ready for doing Interviews
loads of pro workers are ready for any jobs

[bbfan1991]

Good:D, she did alright on LW and when she appeared on LFSF:).

[bbfan1991]

You could atleast wait and see what she's like as a presenter before slating her:rolleyes:

Oh Niamh, i'd give up if I was you, she's never got over the fact that BEN DUNCAN didn't win in BB11 or stay in longer:p.

I can't understand why people who disliked some BB contestants are still slagging them off now?, the shows over and everyones moved on. I couldn't stand Aisleyne for example and manage to avoid all that she gets up to online although there will always be debates about BB which is great:).

I think they meant your "fat farmer" comment.
Although I take it you already knew that, just dodged it.

I would be Angry if the Fat Farmer
got a job when so many others are better than her
and ready , and not fat.

[Daniel McIver]

I think people just need to give her a chance! She's a bubbly and likeable person , she could do really good , you just dont know! I've got to admit though , i am a massive josie fan!

that would make me visit King Desmond.

What the hell does bands playing on it have to do with anything? It's still a steaming pile of crap! Come to think of it whenever I did happen to tune in it was always bands and singers I'd never heard of, I've still yet to hear of them. Not exactly a mecca for A-List starts is it?

You calling her fat was not needed.

[InOne]

Never watch it so does not bother me at all. As long as they don't have her doing anything with BB if it comes back to 5

[Marsh.]

So, all fat people are useless and disgusting? Very mature of you.

Then again, what am I thinking? You're arista.

[Marsh.]

There's saying she's fat, and then there's using the fact she's fat as an insult.
You were saying that BECAUSE she's fat she shouldn't get a presenting job.

And knowing lots of fat people? How cliche.

Just like the racists "know many black people".



Its her I am talking about
not any other person.

You generalised about fat people.
"There's more people fit for the job WHO ARE NOT FAT".

That's all fat people, not just Josie.

Is Fat a Illegal Word?

No. You saying "fat" aint the problem.

You used it as a reason she shouldn't get a job that she might actually turn out to be good at.

Because she's fat? Hardly.

Tell me she aint a natural. Shes very comfortable on camera and very quick witted.

fu2jcYQ6CK8

She would be a great presenter She belongs on Loose Women imo though

[Princess]

I honestly don't see what people have against Josie and I'm not just saying that cos I'm a big fan of her's,what did she ever do wrong??

[Marsh.]

I agree. It's nice to see in that video how natural she acts.
Didn't like her lounging about in the house, was boring but at least she's not come out of the house with a false sense of her own importance (like the try-hard "popstars" and "models") or an arrogance (Brian D shows it sometimes). She's just making the best of the opportunities that are open to her now because of being on BB.

But, in that video, at least we now know why John James was so obsessed with getting in the house. She says he never wants to go out. lol

[Beastie]

I wasn't a fan of Josie in the house. However good luck to her with this new presenting job! I wouldn't agree with her or ANY other ex housemate (Including Alison Hammond and Kate Lawler who have had the most successful presenting careers) to take Davina's role on BB12.
