Ashley Roberts, final 2 on this years I'm A Celebrity, was reportedly close to securing the co-hosting job on this years X Factor US but lost out to Khloe Kardashian who, obviously, has a lot more star power in the US than Ashley.

Now, though, Ashley's UK celebrity seems to be on the rise given her popularity on this years series of IAC. With reported reinvigorations being put into place for next years series I think one change Simon will want to implement is placing a co-host next to either Dermot or someone else. I hope Simon takes notice of Ashleys popularity on this side of the pond and considers her as I think she's likeable and would be a breath of fresh air to the show next year.

Nicole would obviously need to not be on the panel though. Thoughts?

I think she would be amazing on the UK Show I actually said to my mum the same thing!!! Her and Dermot as co-hosts. Also I think she would be a good replacement for Amanda Holdern on BGT

I don't think Ashley and Nicole actually have problems with each other - Ashley said nice things about Nicole on Nicoles Behind The Music documentary a few weeks ago.

Nice idea though - I like Ashley

I thought the same thing until Thursday nights IAC when Ashley mentioned that Nicole was on the only who was supposed to speak in the group and that the break-up was ultimately down to her.

She should host the Xtra Factor when Olly (and probably Caroline) leaves next year.

Oh right haha - I knew said something like that but didn't realise she pinned it down to Nicoles fault haha. Did she say it in a bitchy way?

See I've read a few people say that but I think she was more talking about the management rather than Nicole directly.

Having said that, according to an ex-PCD, Nicole was so jealous of Ashley it made Ashley uncomfortable in the band. It was two years ago tho and I'm sure they could both be on the show as it would be a different type of working relationship .... like someone in accounts working with someone in HR.

She didn't say it was down to her, I assume their management told them that Nicole must do all of the talking so it was ultimately down to the management. And I can't see Nicole doing anything other than what their management told her to do, considering how much of a pushover she's proven to be on The X Factor USA/UK with Simon Cowell.

I think the host slot is the one thing that they have 100% right. Dermot's fine as he is, as is Olly and Caroline.

I'm still sure there would be a little spite against Nicole though seeing as she failed to take a backseat and allow the girls to speak, regardless of what the management has said. There are dozens of examples of girlbands (girls aloud, sugababes, spice girls etc.) not doing what management tell them for the better of the group but from what Ashley has said it seems as though Nicole was more than happy to listen to management despite what her group thought.

It's disgusting how some of you blatantly believe everything. Carmit said what was reported in The Sun wasn't true as she never said Nicole was actually jealous of Ashley.

Just because management told them only Nicole could speak doesn't mean they obeyed the rules. You can look up ANY interview of them and see that Nicole is the more reserved and quiet one. She always let the girls take over in interviews. And that actually worked in Nicole's disadvantage because when she was being interviewed solo, the interviewers asked her why she wasn't very talkative the last time they interviewed her with all of the girls.

Ashley and Nicole are friends and she's one of the only Dolls that Nicole still follows on twitter. Plus, Nicole actually called into the ITV2 show last night to say how proud she is of her.

But yes, Ashley would make a great host. There's this little video she's made back when they were on tour where she was interviewing all the girls. It's very cute.


Edit: This is a perfect example of a PCD interview. Nicole only really speaks when she's spoken to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T3XSXrVxls

There are interviews that can be quite Nicole dominated but that's only when the questions are directed towards her. Like here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwGHlSIj6CU

As much as I like Ashley now, I don't think we need two judges on the main show. Dermot is cringeworthy enough on his own! Imagine having two them come out and do a dance routine at the beginning of each live show!

It's a bit late for that considering we already have four.

That was Carmit Bachar quoted in the Sun and Carmit tweeted that words had been put into her mouth and twisted. Wish people wouldn't believe what they read in our dire media. Also Ashley didn't say it was Nicole who ordered her not to speak. Think Nicole gets a lot of unwarranted hatred.

I really like Mario Lopez and Khloe Kardashian doing the US show (although anything was an improvement on the dreadful Steve Jones), I also love Olly and Caroline, a female co-host for the main show could be a really good idea.

Ashley Roberts might be better suited to being a BGT judge or any show that's a bit lighter and more good-humoured than the X Factor. The X Factor is too cutthroat these days and most of the fun factor is gone.

Or Ashley and Rylan if Olly and Caroline leave would be great as a xtra factor host.
I like Dermot by himself.
Nicole can still be a judge I hope she stays I think there were reports that Simon wants her to stay.
