This guest hosting lark has gone on for 18 months (!!) and I think it's high time they found someone to be the full-time 'face' of the programme alongside Susanna. To my knowledge, no other breakfast show in the world has permanent guest hosts (often ex-politicians - how's that for balance?!)Why Ed Balls seems to have gone from very occasional guest presenter to on the frequently used list alongside Adil Ray and Richard Madeley I’m not entirely sure.
On another note, I'm surprised ITV have never tried weekend editions of GMB before - they seem to have tried everything else on weekend mornings, so why not GMB?
He is good at asking questions and has good knowledge of politics etc.
Maybe they should just let Susanna be the only host and have a range of regulars permanently at the desk she can bounce off? Think someone mentioned this previously ala Rise v1.
This has been mentioned before.
It is time for a permanent replacement for Piers.
I also think they should try some others if they are still not finding a permanent stand in.
They do not all have to be former Labour MPs or Spin Doctors. They could try other Forbes MPs David Cameron could be a try or even Jeremy Clarkson who has mellowed for Millionaire.
Others at ITV News like Tom Bradbury, Rageh Omaar even Robert Peston.
