With regards to David Walliams, whilst it's evident someone wants him out by leaking the transcript he's ultimately only got himself to blame.
Like many people before him he forgot that he was on a set, wearing a mic (or one on his desk), with cameras present which are at least on and potentially recording. Whilst you may think your 'off-air' having a private conversation amongst 'friends' until your off set and no longer wearing a mic you're best to assume you're live. (Seem to recall Sky Sports pundits being amongst the many to make this fundamental mistake.)
With regards to any replacement Babatunde Aleshe wouldn't be a bad shout. Glancing at IMDB it looks like he has some acting experience as well as comedy. As well as the I'm a Celeb making him known to a wider audience it would be nice if they avoided usual ITV faces.
