Olly Murs, not Laura Whitmore to present The X Factor?

Olly Murs has revealed he told Simon Cowell he’d only think about replacing Dermot O’Leary as host of The X Factor – if Caroline Flack joined him.

The singer’s told The Sun there’s was “no way” he’d do the job on his own.

Olly previously hosted spin-off show The Xtra Factor with Caroline – and says they work well together. He found fame after he was runner-up on the show in 2009.

Other names doing the rounds include Irish presenter Laura Whitmore who bookies, for now, have ahead of Caroline Flack and just behind Olly Murs in the grand scheme of things. Could the series land both?
