He was due to be presenting- in fact, the ITV 1 announcer last night namechecked him at the start of the programme. Mark said at the start of the programme that one of Flats' daughters has "had a nasty bump to the head" and he needed to be there, though Mark also said she was fine. Flats was back presenting ITV's podcast today so everything seems to have been sorted now.
Rachel Burford stood in for Topsy Ojo as he is still with the England team in France this week. Laura-Jane Jones and Mark Atkinson subbed last week's show, so neither of the two presnters in the titles have been on this season yet.
