Caroline Flack and Olly Murs have been confirmed as the hosts on the Xtra Factor 2012.
It’s not much surprise, given that the pair tweeted about returning earlier this year, but now it’s official.
As reported previously, Caroline will set off on the auditions tour alone as Olly is touring in America, but he’ll be recording special items for the series and he’ll be back by Caroline’s side for the Live Shows in the autumn.
Each week they will be going behind-the-scenes, bringing all the gossip on the biggest show on TV. They will be showing unseen auditions and have unprecedented backstage access to Dermot O’Leary and the Judges.
“I had a fantastic time on The Xtra Factor last year with my TV husband Olly, so, I can’t wait to get started on the show again,” Caroline said today. “Even though Olly and I won’t be reunited in person until the live shows we will be together all the way in spirit, he’s bound to be calling me mid-interview to check what has been happening on the Judges tour to ensure he doesn’t miss out on any crucial gossip!”
Olly added: “I can’t wait to get back to The Xtra Factor this year, especially now my partner in crime Caroline is confirmed to be joining me. I know it’s going to be a great year and we’ll be grilling the judges and contestants more than ever before.”
Auditions for The X Factor 2012 begin tomorrow in Liverpool.
