Caroline Flack may be helped out on the Xtra Factor this year by boy bands The Wanted, JLS and McFly.

The brunette beauty will be fronting the auditions of the X Factor 2012 herself, after Olly Murs committed to a US tour with One Direction.

According to The Sun, bosses have been thinking up ways to temporarily replace Olly until his return during the live shows.

And apparently choosing some hot boy band material is the way to go!

“Olly has basically ruled himself out of the audition stages of The Xtra Factor by going to the US to tour with One Direction,” a source explained to the newspaper.

They went on: “He’ll be back for the live shows but in the meantime we need stand-ins as it’s quite a rowdy show and works better with more than one presenter. It was going to just be JLS before, who have experience of the show as that’s what shot them to fame.

“But during talks we realised that it might be better if we used a few boybands.”

We certainly know how much Caroline loves her boy bands, with the saucy presenter having dated 18-year-old One Direction star Harry Styles during her role on the Xtra Factor last year.
