    Perhaps of wider interest bearing in mind the link to Top Gear ?

    Quite sure Dermot wants to be on a much bigger show then X Factor.

    Good. He's such an unfunny gimp, so far up Cowell's arse he needs a miners lamp to find his way out.

    Nothing reported about being dropped in that link.

    Your not pushing for a job as a DS headline writer are you?

    There is an X Factor forum for this with threads there and he left he wasn't axed.

    - lack of research.
    - please show any link saying he was axed.
    - some people just want to start threads.

    there are few shows if any which are a bigger gig for a presenter than X-Factor, so lets not under sell the gig at this point.

    Had to laugh at the Radio 2 news of "Radio 2 DJ Quits X-Factor", it is odd however listening to his show on Radio 2, I cant figure out why he would want to be involved with a show like X-Factor.

    More interesting is that this comes only a couple of days after a move to Sunday night, a couple of very big changes for a show that has struggled to reach its peak the last 2 years.

    It is also leaves The Voice and Strictly with no big competition, Saturday Night Takeaway is doing fine, but is mostly back on the air, because Ant and Dec have yet to make a better show for themselves than it.

    He's got a thing about carrying a microphone on the X factor. Gets on my tits.

    Poor chap cannot come to terms with playing semi decent music on the radio and hosting mind numbing smog contest.

    Is it to early to say, he will takeover from Ken Bruce!

    Although the music on his Radio 2 show is the opposite of the X Factor rubbish it's easy to figure out why he wanted to be involved the millions of pounds it will have earned him, who would turn down a job like that if offered?

    Without X Factor Dermot would be a relatively unknown DJ/TV presenter and no where near as wealthy, think his biggest previous TV show was a Big Brother spin off on E4 or kids strand T4.

    There's speculation that he has a large penis. How people would know, I don't have a clue.

    Personally, I think that he IS one!

    money fair enough, as for for his career its true, his biggest show before X-Factor was Big Brothers Little Brother, but its very possible he would have moved from Big Brothers Little Brother, to a big show, if X-Factor had not come along.
