Olly Murs Unlikely To Return To The Xtra Factor

"I've had two great years", he says

Published 29th Jan 2013

Olly Murs has admitted he’s unlikely to return as a host on The Xtra Factor later this year.

The 28-year-old has hosted The X Factor spin-off for the last two years alongside Caroline Flack but has now hinted that his days on the show are numbered.

With an increasingly busy schedule, including months away trying to crack America, Essex-born Olly says something has to give.

"I've had two great years on it," Olly told heat magazine. "To be honest, the way my career is going in terms of music and international t looks unlikely that I'll be able to do it.

"It's an amazing part of my career and working with Caroline has been great."

Caroline Flack has also echoed his sentiments, saying: “I think me and Olly are definitely going to work together again but whether it is on the Xtra Factor or not I don’t know. But we will definitely work together again.”

X Factor star and Celebrity Big Brother winner is tipped to take over from Olly if he quits.
