Subsequently, it reportedly sees her friendship with Rob as a huge advantage.
The source told The Sun newspaper: “The dynamic between the two presenters would be instant…
“…because they have been good friends for years – even going on holiday together.
“Though he is often associated with light-entertainment shows, Rob is a no-nonsense lawyer who has the intellectual gravity to tackle any subject.
“And viewers know he will bring a flamboyant element to GMB as well as a sense of fun.”
ED! contacted ITV for comment.
