The article isn’t especially clear, it says that Madeley will have a ‘regular weekly slot’, but goes on to say that he will appear once every couple of weeks and then covering for Piers. I’m not Madeley’s biggest fan, but he has far more gravitas than Kate or Ben.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Ben decides to leave fairly soon; he isn’t exactly short of TV commitments at the moment (although we’ve been saying this for years and it never materialises). Madeley could easily take on Thursday’s and Friday’s. I think Kate moving on to something else would be beneficial for the program too. GMB is now a far different program in comparison to GMTV, and Ben and Kate represent the old, stale GMTV days.
Don’t think Kate needs to move on - with the right co-host, she’s pretty good. She just doesn’t shine next to Mr Bland on a Friday. Friday’s shows feel like GMTV 15 years ago.
Has Kate ever presented with Piers, or has he only ever presented with Susanna?

Once with Kate during his 'trial' week, and once with Charlotte when Susanna was on location.

She was great with Richard and Eamonn and she works well with Susanna, Ranvir and Charlotte. Someone suggested a while ago that perhaps Eamonn and Ben should swap position and have Eamonn on GMB on Thursday and Friday and have Ben on This Morning,
Articles not clear but I’m assuming Ben/Piers will continue their usual pattern but when Peirs takes a day here and there (he’s been known to just two days in a given week) Richard will fill in and Ben is takes days off from time to time so I’m guessing Richard will fill in there too, which means he’ll be popping up fairly regularly. Plus of course half term/summer breaks etc.
I do think that should Ben decide to move on, Richard may get Thurs/Fri full time. It would be nice to see how Kate would work with Richard full time, I’d suggest Charlotte could work better with Richard but then where does Kate go? And who reads the news? Other thing is Charlotte kinda works well as third wheel with Piers and Susanna on Mon-Wed.
