The This Morning presenter, 39, pretended to start crying after Jordan gave her a Christmas pudding costume as a gift.
The prank began as Josie started opening the present as Jordan excitedly joked: ‘I think you should wear my present on Christmas Day.’
However, the radio DJ’s gift didn’t land as he hoped and a sombre mood fell over the studio as she unwrapped the pudding costume.
Turning to a member of the crew off air, she said: ‘Tom, I told you I didn’t want to talk about this. I’ve told you, like we know each other, and I’ve told you I didn’t want to talk about it.’
Tom then replied: ‘Umm I thought it would be funny because of the Christmas pudding story.’

Jordan was left red-faced and sweating after his Christmas pudding costume present went down like a lead balloon and she stormed out the studio in tears
Becoming upset Josie continued: ‘You thought it would be funny? I nearly died. Like I told you this is not even funny, can we drop this bit?’
Looking concerned Jordan apologised as he began: ‘Sorry, sorry. Sorry, I didn’t know.’
Staying in role Josie added: ‘This is really bad,’ before she broke down in tears and stormed out of the studio.
As Jordan continued to apologise, Sian Welby ran after the star as she protested: ‘No let me, I’ll chat to you.’
Calling from off camera, Josie quipped: ‘Go south Jordan North!’ as he exclaimed: ‘Oh my god I am so sorry. What the hell? Oh my god.’
Jordan and fellow host Chris Stark were overcome with confusion at Josie’s outburst as the former asked: ‘Is this a thing?’
However the pair were only left squirming for a moment before Josie and Sian walked back in laughing as Sian announced: ‘Only kidding!’
Left in hysterics Josie joked: ‘I would have thought I’d be going to Hollywood after that, that was really good! I did not even I realised I was that good, I should be in Eastenders!’
