X-Factor: Poor Old Dermot

Dermot O'Leary has admitted he is disappointed not to have been made the host of the US X Factor, according to reports.

The Brit had been shortlisted for the job but Simon Cowell has now revealed the US version of his TV talent show will be co-hosted by a "non-conventional" female superstar and a male pin-up singer.

Dermot was quoted as telling the newspaper: "I am obviously disappointed that I didn't get the American gig. I would have loved a crack at it. At least I was the only Brit to make the shortlist."

It could of course be more to do with the fact that he has a presenting style that is at best gushing and at worst resembling a wardrobe.
