Gethin is based in Manchester so I would imagine he’s more than happy at ML.

I think that’s such a naive thing to say. A move to This Morning is arguably higher profile than Morning Live, and would certainly command a higher salary particularly if it was a poaching. Then the psychology of being based in London over Manchester is something that going to be in play for talent like Gethin. You might be right and he might be happy, but it’s never as simple as how put it. 

Football players don’t turn down the chance to play in Premier League from the Championship because the commute is a bit longer, they tend to move.

I think the bigger issue is ITV might not consider him or have others in mind.

If ITV did try to poach Gethin, it would be the same move ITV did to try and improve their poor breakfast television programming, when they poach Susanna Reid from BBC Breakfast to launch Good Morning Britain in 2014
