Olly Murs quits The X Factor

The singer has left the show.

Published 22nd Feb 2016

Just days after it was reported Caroline Flack had been axed from The X Factor, her co-host Olly Murs has sensationally quit the show.

The news comes after Olly told a national newspaper “My heart belongs to music, this was an incredibly hard decision to make and one I didn’t take lightly as I’ve really enjoyed co-hosting The X Factor."

The ‘Kiss Me’ singer has only been presenting the show for one series after the departure of popular host Dermot O’Leary last year, but now it seems Olly is set to focus solely on his music career.

It's been confirmed The X Factor will return this year but there's been no word who will host the show.
