Dermot O’Leary has reportedly been asked to replace Michael Bublé as the Brit Awards host this year.
The singer pulled out of hosting duties so he could spend time with his son who is battling cancer.
According to reports, ITV are keen to sign the Irish man up for the annual awards held in London.

“He has been at the helm of The X Factor for a decade and has a solid awards background too, thanks to the NTAs.”
However, Dermot isn’t the only contender that is being eyed up by ITV as Big Brother host Emma Willis is also said to be an option.
“[Dermot] is talking to producers but hasn’t made a decision yet. Emma is also an option.
