This Morning's Josie Gibson halts show to check on co-star as he fight tears after emotional segment

A concerned Josie Gibson paused This Morning when she noticed a guest getting emotional. The presenter was back fronting the show on Wednesday (August 9) alongside Craig Doyle.

The pair were back on screens following a break on Tuesday (August 8) when all of ITV's usual daytime shows up until Loose Women at 12.30pm were cancelled due to the continued coverage of the Fifa Women's World Cup.

Early into the mid-week episode, Josie and Craig were joined by Matthew Wright and Vanessa Feltz to chat through the latest news headlines and other topics that are getting people talking in the usual 'This Morning's View' segment.

One of the latest updates being discussed was the funeral of Sinead O'Connor. The iconic singer was laid to rest in Ireland on Tuesday (August 8) in the seaside town of Bray, the place she had called home for the past 15 years.

Hundreds of locals and fans of the singer gathered outside her former house, Montebello, after her family asked that people stand along the Strand Road for "a last goodbye". O'Connor's former home, sold in 2021 and now lying empty, was turned into a make-shift shrine since her death in London two weeks ago, aged 56.

The private funeral service - attended by the Irish President Michael D Higgins, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and U2 frontman Bono - saw Imam Shaykh Dr Umar Al-Qadri deliver the eulogy that paid tribute to the star's "otherworldly voice" and commended the send-off to her as a "symphony of unity" that "transcended boundaries".

Visitors from across the world along with locals, campaigners and those who simply love O’Connor’s music sang, wept and danced together as a Volkswagen camper
