About 10 years ago it was Sue Perkins on seemingly every programme, then later it was Ore Oduba. I thought Alex Scott was going to be the next person given this treatment, but it seems she’s now been overlooked in favour of the Walsh dynasty.
I’d add Rob Beckett to that list too, he seemed to be everywhere in 2017-18 ish.
Rob is more of a Channel 4/Sky face these days than a BBC one, but I remember them trying to push him for a while. Tom Allen too, but the same thing now- he's more C4 outside of The Apprentice stuff.
