Was surprised to see two males on sofa too! I think Louise is ok but Naga would be better on something like the One show.

I dont care what age sex or species they are, as long as they dont squeal, giggle or talk over people.
And as long as they are not Greg Bloody Wallace.

I don't see that that follows. Even if they both meet a gender requirement, they could both be chosen for their performance.
If gender wasn't a requirement you would expect roughly the same frequency of male male, female female, and male female duos, only we dont.
They did try a gay couple on "This Morning" but Rylan Clarke's husband was unfortunately abysmal.
