I think ITV would love their Piers replacement to come from an ethnic minority (the BAME acronym is being moved away from now, everyone). However, they’re in a bit of a hole at the moment so it’s probably not their #1 factor.
No offence to Andi Peters but the idea of him ever having to do breaking news is a bit laughable. Imagine him helming the coverage of something like the Brussels terror attack that day when GMB went on until 10. To be fair to him he’s never expressed any intention to be newsy. Alex could just about busk it but comes across as incredibly self-absorbed. I do think the programme is in a bit of a state when the likes of Charlotte and Sean are required to do some of the heavy-lifting too.
