These days he anchors Good Morning Britain and fronts Lingo, the quiz show that somehow gets five year olds and ninety five year olds shouting at the telly in unison.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>He is currently the only British Muslim to anchor a peak time news show in mainstream media.&nbsp;He is also, by his own admission, a man who spent years convinced a specific cat had it in for him. Personally. He had theories. Then a cat he did not invite sat down on his chest, and every single one of those theories fell apart. Adil throws secret vinyl-only parties nobody talks about.
