X Factor bosses have given the top job of presenting the X Factor to Dermot O’Leary and shunning ITV2 X Factor presenter Ben Shephard. Reports claim that X Factor bosses were not impressed when Shepherd appeared on the programme Soapstar Superstar.
Shephard 32 is reported to have quit the show, which leaves the production company searching for a new judge to replace Louis Walsh and now a new presenter.
