Dermot opens up about leaving BBLBDermot O'Leary has spoken out about quitting Big Brother's Little Brother, admitting it "feels a bit weird".
The TV presenter - who left BB after seven years so he can concentrate on his hosting duties for X Factor - told Heat magazine it will be strange watching someone else front the show.
"It does feel like the end of a big thing for me," he said. "I had total freedom on that show to shape it in my own image and I had such a great time. It'll be really weird watching someone else doing it."
He added: "I can't imagine who they'll get to do it. Whoever it is, I've said I'd be delighted to help out in any way."
Dermot admitted juggling both shows became "physically impossible".
"When I did X Factor and BBLB in the summer, I felt like I was about to die," he revealed.
"Now, obviously I'm not doing a job where I have to go down the mines or anything, so I don't want to sound too dramatic. But I really didn't feel like I could do both shows justice, or be in two places at the same time."
