Dermot O'Leary has been given the X Factor presenting job, which is good news me thinks. He will replace Kate Thornton who, as previously reported, has been axed as part of a planned revamp of the show.
Confirming he'd accepted the job, O'Leary told reporters this weekend: "I was very flattered to be offered the job to host such a hugely successful show. I'm really looking forward to working with Simon [Cowell] and the team on the kind of Saturday night entertainment show I grew up watching."
