Although it’s true Jason left because of his private life, I still think it was an odd choice and had that not happened I bet he still wouldn’t be doing it now. Although he isn’t exactly the most extreme comedian, it was still a very ‘easy listening’ gig for such a person with barely any room to tell a slightly risky gag.
They might replace Matt with a female and have two women hosting the show.
Odds on Adrian Chiles doing a stint if they go down the guest hosts route? He's back in the BBC fold (working on 5 Live) and has appeared on the show as a guest a few times since leaving.
I caught the opening of yesterday's show with Gethin Jones presenting and thought he seemed quite bewildered to be there. Pointing out himself he hasn't hosted the show for a few years. Makes me wonder if it was secretly a screen test and he wasn't aware.

Replacing one ex-BP presenter with another? Makes sense.
