Caroline Flack will appear on The X Factor 2013 live shows this year as a new presenter, it’s been claimed.

The Xtra Factor host will be taking up a new role on the main show on Saturday nights, chatting the contestants before and after their performances.

But Caroline won’t become Dermot’s co-host just yet, with producers keen to avoid a duel hosting format similar to that of BBC One’s The Voice UK.

Even if Caroline’s role does sound no different to what Reggie Yates was doing on The Voice this year.

“Caroline will be doing links with the contestants before they go on stage and when they come off,” a source told The Sun newspaper. “She’s not going to be presenting side-by-side with Dermot a lot as bosses don’t want it falling into the same format as The Voice.”

Caroline will still continue to host the Xtra Factor, which this year saw her joined by new co-host Matt Richarson, over on ITV2 every Saturday and Sunday night straight after the main show.

More information about Caroline’s new role is expected to be confirmed this evening, when The X Factor continues at 8PM on ITV.
