Olly Murs and Caroline Flack were recently confirmed as the new hosts of the X Factor and now Olly has spoken out about the upcoming project.

Although the Troublemaker singer is nervous, he said that is also looking forward to getting started.

Speaking to Free Radio, he said: “Can’t wait it’s gonna be amazing. I think nerves have definitely kicked in a little bit, I’m like wow, it’s gonna be quite an amazing thing to do.

“Obviously at the moment focusing on the tour, but I’m really excited. It’s gonna be really tough for me and Caroline obviously replacing someone like Dermot.

The 30-year-old also said that he thinks he and Caroline can bring something different to the show.

“When we did the Xtra Factor, the show had never had a twosome do it before.

“It’s the first time the X Factor the main show’s had that. So we’re looking to bring something fresh, something different. Of course Ant & Dec are the pinnacles of that, and do it so well.

“So we just wanna be ourselves and have a lot of fun, and I think it’s gonna be really great.

“I think X Factor and Simon wanted to revamp the show, and do some new changes, and obviously we’re delighted to be a part of it. I’m excited! I love TV and I love The X Factor”.
