One possible issue with Katie Thistleton is she usually hosts from Salford, even when co-hosting with Vick, so will be interesting to see if that remains the case because as well as a demotion for Dean it feels like moving the Salford output from mid-afternoon to early breakfast is just playing lip service to it too.

I don't know what their figures were like but I do think Dean's star rose quickly because it deserved too. I've never been as convinced about Vicky and do think Nat O'Leary is generally better, but also think both Dean and Vicky work better with Nat and Dean probably worked better on his own so other than the time slot for Dean it's a sensible move. Personally though I'd say Rickie, Melvin and Charlie are the weak link of the daytime now - always felt their show would sit better in the 1pm slot. Still not convince either how in this era of cost cutting we seem to have multiple shows with multiple hosts now - some shows benefit from it, others don't.
