Rylan Clark-Neal and Laura Whitmore are rumoured to be co-hosting the Xtra Factor this year.


The pair are the latest names tipped to be take over from Rochelle Humes and Melvin Odoom who haven't actually - officially at least - left yet.

Rochelle and Melvin revealed recently that they were being kept in the dark when it came to whether or not they'd be back for a second series this summer.

However it doesn't sound likely that we'll be seeing them on ITV2 later this year.

Now magazine reports that Rylan, who currently has his own chat show weeknights on Channel 5, and former I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here Now! host Laura are set to sign up.

"Bosses really want to sign Rylan," a source told the magazine this week. "He's a seasoned professional, funny, and could make the show come alive.

"He's got a lot going on with 'Big Brother' and his own show, but his friends think he'd be crazy to turn this down - he'd be an amazing asset to the show."

Laura recently quit I'm A Celebrity's spin-off show after five years, prompting rumours she was set to move over to the Xtra Factor.

"They'd be a brilliant duo and everyone thinks their on-screen chemistry would be great," the source added.

However a number of other names have also been rumoured, including Westlife's Nicky Byrne and radio DJ Roman Kemp.

The new series will air this autumn alongside the main show on ITV.

This wouldn't be so bad tbh. The only problem would be who Big Brother would choose to replace Rylan on BOTS.

I thought it'd be Laura and Roman Kemp tbh but I could see this too

[Samm]

We all know who's gonna be the only acceptable replacement for rylan

[LukeB]

Rylan =

He's just a netto Ant and Dec tbh

Why couldn't Rylan do both?

BOTS is on January and June-September and doesn't The Xtra Factor only start filming live in October?

Xtra Factor films throughout the auditions too.

Yeah but not live so he could still do both.

He won't leave BOTS for Xtra Factor anyway. He's far too involved in BB to want to quit for a duo presenting job on The Xtra Factor where he'll probably get sacked after one series.

Don't auditions go till 7/8 at night?

[Cal.]

(I'd love him to go though, I don't mind him but maybe it'll mean that Emma is back at the forefront of the show and Rylan isn't shoehorned into everything just cos he's a This Morning presenter)

The travelling around might get in the way.

Dermot had to quit Little Brother for that reason and the Xtra Factor hosts feature in Xtra Factor far more than the main host features in the main show.

I want Katherine Ryan for BOTS

[Drew.]

Would he just **** off already

[Strictly Jake]

I liked Rochelle on xtra factor though wasn't keen on melvin though, I think Rylan is doing far too much so I don't want him on xtra factor as well, I like Laura though, would a Laura and Rochelle presenting duo work?

She hates the show doesn't she? Slagged it off in the past? But it would be funny seeing her take the mick out of everyone

She was one of the "celebrity fans" on the clip show last year so I'd be suprised to hear that if she didn't like the show.

[Strictly Jake]

I was watching a Russell Howard show on Comedy Central it's a repeat but she was slagging off katie Hopkins and how people liked her after celebrity big brother and said that that's the problem with these kind of shows and I'm sure she said a few more negative things about it after that, can't really remember but I do like Katherine Ryan I can't imagine her being a good presenter though, she is a panellist standard to be honest

[Niamh.]

Laura on her own would be better tbh, Rylan just Rylanates everything and contaminates it.....not that I even watch X Factor but ya know

[Niamh.]

But yeah I'm all for Rylan hosting if it means he's leaving BOTS

[reece(:]

Another show for him to ruin?

Yesss Rylan, leave BOTS for Xtra Factor we all support ur decision
