I suspect for now at least the team arrangements will continue minus Holly. Alison and Dermot may become the lead presenters so to speak rather than the main presenters - perhaps regularly doing Mon-Thu between them but not always with each other.
Of course there is always the possibility they ho for a clean break and get a completely new duo as the main presenters. Doesn't feel like the sort of risk a show would take now though - and the last thing the show wants is more instability should it not work out.
I think if Ben were to join on a permanent basis, finding someone who's a good folly to him would work and the advantage with Ben is that he works well whoever you pair him with.
I don't think it'd be a bad thing having someone from outside the This Morning team. If anything, it could give it a new lease of life.
