....would they still have replaced Greystagg with Maldame? I have read on here in numerous places that is the reason for the change (she could no longer fit the costume, and the new character of Maldame was placed behind a balcony to hide her bump).

But surely Greystagg could equally have been put behind a balcony?

Was it ever officially stated that is the reason for the character change? Or is this just fan conjecture?

Don't know if that's true or not! I would have just assumed Tim Child wanted to use a new character for series 8.
