It really doesn't help that the set looks so outdated and that it pretty much became Dermot's, so much so that the fact they're copying every walk and every camera angle he had looks really strange.

There were a lot of stumbling over words, awkward pauses, not turning to camera quick enough tonight all of which Dermot mastered. This is of course down to nerves and they can be forgiven for that but in all honesty I really miss his presence. X Factor became to him what Big Brother was to Davina, it was his show and it's weird to see anyone else presenting it. The dancing, his results delivery, the flawless ad libbing.

Olly and Caroline were amazing on Xtra and the best hosts that show had, the fact they can't repeat the same gags and chemistry on the main show takes away from their appeal.

Agree with all of this
