[XIII]

Maybe as a guest host for the week but would be foolish to bring him back full time.  Can't see him having much chemistry with Holly. 

Is Tipping Point filming at the moment - Holly has worked well with Ben previously so if available could see him guest hosting a couple of Mon/Tue if he's available.  Bradley might do a couple of days too but Gladiators begins filming soon.


Just hope they do have a permanent arrangement in place by the autumn.  Radio 2 showed it's possible to replace a long standing host in a similar time frame - though the only issue maybe is there are rumours Martin Frizzell will be replaced as the programme editor in the summer too so they may want the new editor to make that decision.

Tipping Point films between April-June but Ben normally does a few days on GMB here and there during that period, I wouldn't be surprised if he's asked to a couple of This Mornings instead of GMB. He's a safe pair of hands which at this time is what the show needs.

I wouldn't be surprised if Holly has final say for who she wants to co-host. My guess is that they'll want someone who's similar in age so early to late 40s, 50 at a push. Jake Humphrey if he's up for it would be my choice.
