Speaking open and honestly on if she has a favourite co-worker, Josie said: \u201cOf course I do, and I have absolutely no qualms in saying it. Obviously, my favourite is Alison Hammond. I love Al \u2013 she\u2019s got such a special energy.\u201d <\/p>\n

In news that viewers will find endearing, their relationship transcends show business, with Alison hosting Josie and her five-year-old son, Reggie James, over at her Birmingham house at Christmas.<\/p>\n
Josie continued: "She is the kindest person on earth. You ring Al, and after the phone call, you feel a million dollars. You would never know if she was in a bad mood because she\u2019s too busy trying to make you feel good.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair have been close pals since 2013.<\/p>\n
The 2010 Big Brother champion explained: "We\u2019ve been going on holiday together for years. Alison is very magnetic. She\u2019s very honest, and she would give anyone her last pound. When you\u2019re really having a down day or are really stressed out to the max, you ring her, and she\u2019ll make you feel amazing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we see each other, we laugh and laugh and laugh. We find the fun in everything and anything,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s really funny, and she\u2019s really quick-witted. She\u2019s a lot funnier than me. It does wind me up sometimes!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s got this way about her \u2013 you just want to be around her. I hate that I\u2019ve got to share her with everybody!\u201d<\/p>\n
