Laura Whitmore is being lined up as the new host of the Xtra Factor – after quitting I’m A Celebrity.
The Bray native hung up her jungle boots this week, revealing it was time to move on to something new, and now she is reportedly joining the famous talent show.
With reports that that current hosts Melvin Odoom and Rochelle Humes are getting the axe, Laura is now in the forefront.
“It’s no wonder Laura is being considered for the part – she’s beautiful, smart and has no shortage of experience when it comes to presenting,” an insider told the Irish Mirror.
“With I’m A Celeb, Laura had to jet to the jungle in Australia for weeks in November and December – just as the live shows for the X Factor kick off.
“Now she’s cut ties, there’s nothing to stop her from committing to the singing competition.
“There’s a lot of change going on with the X Factor in a bid to give the show a new lease of life and Laura is a fresh face with a cool image – just what Simon Cowell needs to boost ratings,” the source added.
