Despite recent reports, Dermot O'Leary does not expect to be asked to host the American version of 'The X Factor'.

According to previous reports the 37-year-old presenter was in talks to join Simon Cowell in the US for the new show.

However in an interview on BBC's Radio 1 with Fearne Cotton, O'Leary said: "I have got my head around the fact that I'm not going to be doing it so I feel pretty zen."

When asked if Cheryl Cole was going to be one of the judges on the panel, he refused to confirm but went on to say: "To be fair to Simon...he has got to get the judges right."
