X FACTOR bosses have approached top showbiz agents — in a bid to replace host Kate Thornton.
They have compiled a list to potentially take over from Kate, 33, in the next series.
They include Fearne Cotton and Big Brother’s Little Brother’s Dermot O’Leary. Last night, a source said: “Kate is a lovely girl but the feeling is they want to send the fourth series show into the stratosphere.
“It’s one of Britain’s top rated shows and bosses are constantly looking for ways to revamp the format.
“Replacing Kate is one of the options for the next series.”
X Factor currently pulls in around ten million viewers.
They have also followed smash US hit American Idol by introducing celebrity performers, including Lionel Richie and Rod Stewart.
Potentials .... Dermot O'Leary and Fearne Cotton
Crooner Tony Bennett joins the bill on Saturday night. Last night, an X Factor spokeswoman said: “Kate is a fantastic presenter and we’re in the middle of an incredibly successful third series.
“Her talent in running a major live studio show is unprecedented and we look forward to continuing to work with her.”
Dermot O’Leary’s agent, meanwhile, was staying tight-lipped.
Has to be Dermot, he will get my saturday night going alright ! :rotfl: But I love Kate too

I dont think Ferne Cotton would be a good choice she is not as bubbly as Kate but if they want to replace her Dermot would be a good choice.

I like Kate she did a good job. Why not ask Ben Shepard to do it i think he would be a cool presenter. Fearne Cotton would be good as well.

exactly i thought i read that too - :confused:
I like Kate, theres nothing wrong with her, you dont just get rid of presenters half way trough a run, its just out of order. Dermot and Fearne are both weak and nothing special.

Well i hope its false. It would be weird without her, you know when you get used to someone doing something.....it will be weird. I agree, whats the point in getting rid halfway through, its silly.
I love Kate Thornton, she's lovely. Such a good presenter.
I hope they don't get Davina Macall, she really really really winds me up.
Even if they do axe the X Factor they'll probably replace it with another programme like it. The did it with Pop Idol, Popstars: the rivals and such like
Awwww its a shame if they do, I really like her and think theres nothing wrong with her
I like Kate but hope they change there minds

From The Sun 30.10.06
Simon's a Thorn in Kate's side
SIMON Cowell made a cheeky reference to our story that X Factor host Kate Thornton is going.
He asked: “Are you still here?” Kate said: “Just about.”
Not sure that Simon has to be so mean, I think Kate has done a great job and its not just about the live shows, she does all the cuddling and puts up with all the crying at the audiendions, can't see Dermot doing that

NO! I love Kate! :crying:
They better not replace her with Fearne Cotton! She isn't that great a presenter, and they need to add a bit of class to X Factor.
I like Dermot, but don't think he's right for the show.
I say bring back Ant and Dec.. :D
Don't care if it's copying Pop Idol.. *Pouts*
i was just going to say do a pop idol and get in Ant and Dec. Beat me to it though
Great minds think a like.

I do like Fearne, but I think she's a bit... erm.. low-rate for the x-factor.
And, like I said, I don't think she's that great a presenter - but I like her as a person. I preferred her on Star Family Fortunes to Love Island.
Something done at night - badger watching! LMAO!

And lmao what?? You referring to :ninja: ?? :searchme:

Yeah, well, we've all gotta get our kicks somewhere.. :D
Hang on a sec.. what are we talking about again?
Must be the slight amnesia kicking in again.. :rolleyes:
Kate IS the x-factor presenter! The only presenter! It wouldn't be the same without her! Would also be completely unfair on her!!
