The idea they couldn’t think of a celebrity to take up the role and that’s why they didn’t use one is ridiculous. There are literally endless possibilities.
They presumably thought Graham Norton, who doesn’t normally do gameshows was a big enough name to carry the show himself. The idea of going for a glamorous female assistant is a bit old fashioned these days which someone like Graham could be uncomfortable with and the alternative would be a big character that could potentially overshadow the big name host, is probably the reason they didn’t go for it.
Of course in the US the shows been on continuously, so they’ve never had to reset and present it as something new.
