If that go down that route they might look to one of the two comedians from this years I’m A Celeb.Spot on. Also I'd say it doesn't necessarily have to be a comedian, just a well-balanced panel. Piers obviously had (and has) a very unique personality which balanced out well with the rest.
Banjo was a fantastic substitute for Simon and may well work but I'm not sure if that 'golden' balance would be achieved. Good idea with the I'm A Celeb comedians, Stephen Mulhern also came to mind but I doubt that'll happen.
