Josie Gibson's hilarious I'm A Celebrity blunder has left ITV show viewers in stitches. 

As took part in Big Brother her hilarious comments earned her a legion of fans which resulted in her being crowned winner of the eleventh series in 2010. Fast-forward 13 years and it looks as though she hasn't lost her ability to make funny blunders on air – if her latest comment is anything to go by. 

Josie confused the word "emancipated" for a X-rated word and fans were left in hysterics over the mistake. The 38-year-old This Morning host was seen discussing whether or not Jamie Lynn Spears would be able to complete the Bushtucker Trial, while sat among other celebrities including Fred Sirieix.

Jamie Lynn was tasked with climbing 100ft up in the air to collect ten stars for camp. And this would mean that her campmates would have a decent meal. In previous episodes, the sister of superstar Britney has left viewers fearing for her emotional well-being after regularly breaking down in tears over missing her two children.

In the discussion, Fred said: "She's definitely strong. What she's done in her life is no mean feat. She left home when she was 16, she emancipated herself." And it was at this point Josie then joined the conversation to ask: "Is that what 'e-masturbation' is?" Without realising her obvious blunder, the camp erupted into laughter leaving Josie unsure as to why.

But it wasn't just her campmates that found her question hilarious as viewers did, too. One person joked that Josie must be "reading from a different dictionary." Another person said: "Not Josie calling emancipation masturbation. Bless her ignorant heart." And a third added: "Not a regular watching I'm A Celeb but happy to have learned a new word tonight."

But the comments didn't end there. A fourth person took to the social media platform and said: "E-masturbation' what dictionary did you pick this up from then Josie." Elsewhere in the series, Josie's interaction with Jamie Lynn since arriving at camp has been under the spotlight as some fans found the American star "rude" when Josie was explaining her career to her.

Jamie Lynn asked Josie what she did for a living in a bid to get to know her campmate. And the presenter replied saying: "I’m a TV presenter." In response, Jamie said: "That's awesome!" Josie then added: "I work on this show called This Morning. It’s so fun, it’s so good." But when Josie explained her career, viewers spotted Jamie Lynn yawning and claimed it was "rude".

Taking to Twitter, now X, one person said: "Josie trying her hardest to chat to Jamie Lynn and her giving her absolutely nothing but a yawn back a bit rude #ImACeleb #ImACelebrity." Another person wrote: "Jamie yawning whilst Josie is speaking.. she’s RUDE #ImACeleb." However, some viewers were quick to support Jamie Lynn, with one writing: "Everyone taking Jamie yawning so seriously they ain’t had no damn sleep jet lagged etc she wasn’t rude at all #IMACELEB!"
