Earlier this week, ‘The X Factor’ UK's judging lineup was revealed via the show's official Twitter feed and now the two hosts of ‘The Xtra Factor’ have also been announced.
Caroline Flack and Olly Murs have been confirmed as co-hosts on the new series of ‘The Xtra Factor’.
A message was posted on the show's micro-blogging account last night confirming that the ‘I'm A Celebrity’ presenter and former 'X Factor' finalist will helm the companion show, after former presenter Konnie Huq was axed earlier this year.
The message read: "@carolineflack1 and Olly Murs @ollyofficial confirmed as hosts on Xtra Factor! #xfactor (sic)"
Take That's Gary Barlow, Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland, N-Dubz's Tulisa Contostavlos and returning participant Louis Walsh are sharing a panel in the first series not to feature Simon Cowell as a regular judge.
Flack, who had originally ruled herself out of the role on the show because of her presenting job on 'I'm A Celebrity’, took to her Twitter account to thank her fans for their messages of support.
She wrote: "Thankyou all so much..en route to Birmingham now for first auditions...xx.
"It does mean I'm sadly leaving the jungle. But had two fab years with the best team and only have incredible memories!! Xxxxx"
This year's first ‘X Factor’ auditions begin in Birmingham today.
