With Ben seemingly headed to This Morning, it’ll be interesting to see if they finally commit to a permanent lineup or extend the merry go round of presenters to the end of the week as well!
I would say personally they’d be best off having Richard Madeley with Susanna Mon-Weds and Ed Balls covering over the holidays, but frankly I’m not really sure who can fill the Ben role of being able to do the lighter stuff at the end of the week whilst also being serious when required.
Ben does rack up the hours for them so I think they’ll end up short cover wise in the short term. They also haven’t really tried anybody new recently, so there aren’t any obvious candidates that would naturally fit the role from what I’ve seen.
