Simon Cowell wants O'Leary to quit BBLB [merged]

[Arneldo]

Simon Cowell has admitted that he wants Dermot O'Leary to quit Big Brother's Little Brother.

The new X Factor host has been filming for both shows all summer, but he recently complained about the long hours involved and hinted that he may not be able to carry on doing so next year.

Now Cowell has advised O'Leary to quit his job as presenter of Little Brother after seven years.

"I hope that next year he only does The X Factor," Cowell told The Mirror. "It's a much bigger gig."
Missed Big Brother

:mad: That'd be like Dermot asking Simon to quit American Idol!

[Wasted]

So do I.

[supernoodles!]

Let him i say lol,i wouldnt be that bothered.Ive gotton over loosing russel brand on bbbm and that was a tradgedy for me lol,im sure i could get over dermot going

[RichardBB4]

Love Dermot, don't want him to go :(

[Red Moon]

Simon Cowell's head is getting too big.

I can't see Dermot doing it next year. I know he likes but he has said millions of times that he only chose to work on BBLB in the first place to use it as a stepping stone and it has worked. I say get T4's Steve Jones in to do it - A better looking, more talented version of Dermot.

Dermots giving up BBLB after 7 years to concentrate on X Factor,from next year.This is because Simon Cowell has demanded Dermot focus on X Factor.So this is Dermot slast ever week on Big Brother.will anyone miss him?

yeah but lets face it its unlikely Dermots going to be able to carry on-Dermot wouild like to,but its just too much of a workload for him

[iain_smith]

I say let Gerry present it next year- he has more rapport with the audience when he was a guest last week than Dermot has!

failimg that,let Chris Moyles do it

i personally, think that this may well be his last week - but - i dont think he would let BB down, plus - he may be in a contract with endemol/channel 4? that we dont know about?

Do we know if he has a contract? Does davina?

[noahman]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[beanny]
