Now that Holly is leaving Xtra Factor, who's going to replace her? Suggestions?

Zoe Ball (too hip? and pregnant)
Cat Deeley (please lord NO!!!)
Jedward! Yay!
Brucie (just a joke, c'mon!)
Fearne? (yuck)

Or they could at least get Aleesha talking about something she knows a bit about - music - and get her OFF a programme she knows absolutely sod all about, then I could go back to watching Strictly.

Whaddya think chaps?

Well, I rarely, if ever, watch Xtra factor, but based on things I see posted on here, and keeping in mind I have no personal knowledge,just about anyone is going to be an improvement yes?

I like the Jedward idea.

Christine Bleakley seems a likely choice judging by recent reports and she seems to have been seen out a few times at Cowell events. She's with the same agent as Dermot O'Leary. Though I'd like Caroline Flack to take over.

Most of Simon's presenters (Ant & Dec, Holly, Stephen, Piers, Ben, Fearne) seem to have come from his own agent

But I can't really see anyone well suited to it from that list. Please not Reggie Yates!

Anyone who acts a little more grown up than that stupid woman.
The show is total rubbish.

Should be more about the contestants. Maybe then we could get to know them a little more. More phone in questions for them. Their likes and dislikes etc.

Maybe the turkey puppet they had on the other week could do it. Louis we be ok with that as the turkey is apparently Irish.

A sack of potatoes?

Joking aside, this thread is a new low for the forum.

Sorry, my bad. This is such an intellectual space, I should have known better. Perhaps this would please you more:

Adolf Hitler vs. Danyl. Which is the most evil?

Discuss.

Last year when their were rumours holly wasn't doing this series and Zoe Salmon was the fave to take over - which i hope never happens can't stand the girl, the most likely would be myleene klass, simon loves her and she has done presenting on the x factor when she was with leona's fans during that final she has said she would like to do presenting but only if she can still see her family so i think she is probably front runner atm.

After looking at the James Grant portfolio I reckon Reggie Yates would be a great host.

Although wouldn't mind seeing Xtra using two presenters to mix it up abit.

Claudia Winkleman is the best around atm, but she'd never leave Strictly.

Anne Robinson. Then she can say to Jedward "Your the weakest link, goodbye"

Is Holly really 100% leaving the show. I still see false rumor written on my eyes.

May be an unpopular opinion on here but I love Holly and wish she was staying. I think she's genuinely lovely and compassionate. She doesn't take herself too seriously. I love her on This Morning too.
