O'Leary To Present X-Factor

[Bryan]

It said in the Sun newspaper today he was quitting BBLB to do the X Factor...don't know how reliable the Sun newspaper is though.

Dermot and Russel quitting? Maybe Big Brother will scrap the side shows and focus on a show more like the original few series.

[Debs]

BBLB has been rubbish now fo the last few series of bb, so i think it is good that he is moving on, I wouldnt have thought X factor was his sort of thing though

And on ds yesterday rumours were that russel was staying on bbbm

I wonder if BBLB will continue with a new host? If so they really need to revamp it.

Good news about BBBM, let's hope the rumours are true!

Maybe they could combine both shows and make it a daily 45 minute? Might work...

I just read that Dermot was quitting, not Russell.

Its confirmed on ITV's main website that Dermot will be taking over from Kate so I'd say its true. Wasn't there a lot of talk about him not being happy with BBLB anymore or something anyway, so maybe this is the way of it coming to a natural finish for him I don't watch either

Or maybe he's just realised how **** it is, like the rest of us think

Give me X factor over Big Brother anyday. X Factor is only on once a week, i can't be doing with watching a TV programme every single day, especially in the summer. I've got better things to be doing.

I think its a great move for him. Might make Davina think about doing the same thing, so they can finally scrap it.

Although personally for me - both of these shows have run their course

i completely agree. i wont be watching either! when programme makers have to start changing formats you know things are starting to go stale and they should let the programmes go then instead of trying to push them further.

[Katy]

I dont mind OLEary i think he can be quite funny, i hink hes the right sort of character for the show. Kate didnt appeal to me quite as much although, she did the sensitive side of the bad auditions quite well.

[Jessie Wallace]

As much as i like Dermot i think they shouldn't have got rid of kate, she made the show what it WAS!!

[Chloe O'brien]

I don't understand why they sacked Kate, there are more annoying and nausating presenters on tv who they should get rid of. As for BB I'll still watch it this summer just to see what wackos they have attracted this year. If bb is to remain popular its needs to go back to the way the earlier bb format where you had reasonalby normal contestants taking part for the fun, not just weridos wanting to be on magazine covers.
