[Firewire]

Caroline Flack will be joined by comedian Matt Richardson.

This marks Richardson's first TV role.

[Marcus.]

who

[Iceman]

he looks about 12

[Black Dagger]

No idea who he is, but hopefully he'll be good.

Should have been Matt Edmondson imo

[Drew.]

never heard of him but ah well

[Firewire]

He's unknown, but I think it's good that they're going for someone who is unheard of.

[Iceman]

tenner bet Caroline does absolutely no flirting with him.:joker: What makes you say that?

[Iceman]

:joker: What makes you say that?

I dunno he just seems very young....saying that she does have a track record of being a bit of a cougar...

I dunno he just seems very young....saying that she does have a track record of being a bit of a cougar...She likes t hem young. He may not be her type either ie not fit enough. :joker:

[Firewire]

She went out with one young person once, she does go out with people her own age too you know. I'm not freaking out about this, NOT AT ALL NOPE. *cries*

Not quite in the same league as Olly Murs or James Athur or Harry Styles. I agree with Iceman I don't think there will be much chemistry between the hosts on Xtra Factor.

[Smithy]

who let laura out of the loony bin :bored:

Hello to you too

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Who is he, not heard of him before:conf:

[Jordan.]

No Konnie Huq, I remain uninterested in this show :idc:

[zakman440]

I would have preferred Matt Edmonson or Doc Brown.

Aw, I'll miss Olly and Caroline :( they were the best hosts this show has had

Hope this new guy is good and it's still funny, not sure the same running jokes will be able to continue though which is a shame. I still think Rylan should've done this rather than BOTS, he'd be much more suited to it and much better with a co-host (particularly Caroline).

Everyone(in all the statements) keep saying how he'll bring something different to the show so I think they're trying not to duplicate what Caroline and Olly had because they couldn't, so that's good.

The newbie knows how to get fans on his side anyway

Unless they're gonna give him a comedy segment like Russell Kane used to get on Get Me Out Of Here Now? Where he dissects and takes the piss out of the acts and show.

Olly and Caroline's running gags were great though :( 'that's rightttt', 'Olly showed me his sausage today'. I love Xtra Factor :love: actually I just love spin off shows in general tbh

[Princess]

I'm really going to miss them on Xtra Factor but as long as they stay friends(get married whatever) it'll be ok. And Caroline posted this on Twitter tonight which made me insanely happy.
