If so then I can probably see Ben returning to his old Thursday + Friday slot once the Easter Holidays are over
I think Ben quite often has a few weeks away around this time of year, I think this is when we have occasionally seen Richard Madeley & Adil Ray and even Richard Bacon doing a few Thursday and Fridays, although I think Charlotte, Ranvir and Kate have also filled the gaps too. And Ben has appeared on his usual Thurs/Fri sporadically when schedules allow. I imagine over the next few weeks, Ben may be absent for at least some weeks, so bringing in Adil will allow Mon-Wed to be a bit more stable.
I do think Adil is the most likely option for a permanent successor the way things stand. I do think (as I said on TVF) that they’ll need a male host to keep gender balance across the whole show.
