ITV, Thames and Syco today confirmed that Olly Murs and Caroline Flack are to be the new presenters of The X Factor, becoming the first ever duo to host the hit singing show.
Olly and Caroline will bring their chemistry and charm to the show, having previously co-hosted The Xtra Factor on ITV2 for two years from 2011. They will be on hand at every stage of the audition process to congratulate and console the budding singers who are vying to be the next big superstar. They will also be tasked with keeping the judges in order, once the live shows start.

I think it's fantastic Olly and Caroline are back together again. Xtra Factor was hilarious when they both presented it.
Should be brilliant on the main show!

I think Olly Murs and Caroline Flack are going to be great on the main show. They have a natural chemistry with each other; it's definitely a step in the right direction IMO towards (hopefully) a much more light-hearted show.
Don't see why not.
BGT works with two presenters so X Factor should also.
I hope Stevi gets a shot at hosting xtra factor.
They aren't Ant and Dec
Possibly the most ridiculous statement I've ever read on here.
I think this is a step in the right direction for the show. Will definitely make it feel younger imo.
I never said they were. The point is, BGT works with two presenters so so will X Factor.
Really? Why is that? He is funny, respected and I think he could be great on xtra.
Caroline Flack and Olly Murs will replace Dermot O’Leary on The X Factor 2015, it’s been officially confirmed.
Yes, this isn’t yet another rumour from a source or insider, ITV has tonight officially announced that former Xtra Factor duo Olly and Caroline WILL be fronting the series this year.
And these are the words Olly had to say about it all: “I’m incredibly excited and proud to be returning to The X Factor alongside Caroline.
“I love the show and it kick-started my career in music which has given me the opportunity to do what I love. I already have the best job in the world and it’s about to get better – I can’t wait to get started and be part of finding some amazing new talent!”
Caroline Flack, who will be a very busy lady this summer also presenting ITV2’s Love Island, added: “I’m beyond excited about presenting The X Factor with Olly. To have the privilege of doing this with someone who makes me laugh out loud is a massive bonus!
“I’m also incredibly lucky to have the best tips and support from my showbiz big brother Dermot. I’m not sure how I can live up to his long term residency but I know I can’t let him down!”
Even Simon Cowell has got involved in the announcement, saying: “I am absolutely delighted Caroline and Olly are both returning to The X Factor.
“When they were on Xtra together, they were a brilliant double act. Since then, Caroline’s gone from strength to strength – and Olly has become one of Britain’s biggest stars. So now I’m looking forward to them fronting the main show.”
Now as for The X Factor 2015 judges, a spokesperson told us: “Further details about this year’s X Factor including the judging panel will be announced in due course.”

The sexual tension was just a bit of fun many viewers including myself enjoyed watching. And you don't just get it with X Factor. You get it in many TV shows including Doctor Who, Britain's Got Talent, Agents Of SHIELD and Let's Do Lunch with Gino & Mel precisely because it's compelling to watch.
Totally agree. If BGT's success proves anything, it's that people now want a lighter tone with their talent shows.
Well, put it this way: if you were offered to co-host one of the UK's biggest ratings juggernauts (and it still is one of the UK's biggest ratings juggernauts, gets more than most shows), would you turn it down?
Olly Murs would have been a idiot to turn down a presenting role on X Factor.
They were great on the Xtra Factor but the main show is totally different and only time will tell if they are a fit.
Also i hope its a total revamp and they need at least 3/4 new credible judges.
