Dermot O'Leary has dismissed reports that he has decided to quit Big Brother's Little Brother.

The TV presenter complained of exhaustion recently after combining work on the Channel 4 show with his new role as host of The X Factor.

Earlier this week Simon Cowell urged O'Leary to quit BBLB to concentrate on the ITV1 talent hunt, telling The Mirror: "I hope that next year he only does The X Factor. It's a much bigger gig."

However, O'Leary insisted that he has yet to consider his BBLB future, telling Heat: "God, I haven't even thought about (that) yet! I've read in the papers that it's my last Big Brother, though, which is weird. I've loved this year - very busy, but so much fun."
