He was the best thing about the bloody show.
If you’re a fan of the X Factor or were forced by your other half to sit through it every Saturday and Sunday night, it’ll never be the same again.
The highlight for us watching it was Dermot O’Leary because he seems like a sound guy and he’s so good at his job.
Bad news for us and fans of the guy, who has Wexford roots, because he won’t be back for the next season.
He confirmed the news on Twitter this afternoon.
Good afternoon. After eight wonderful years on @TheXFactor it's time for me to move on.

I'd like to thank ITV, Simon, The X Factor family and particularly the viewers, all of whom have been a big part of my life for so long.

I'd like to wish the team
all the best for the future, especially whoever takes over from me.

You're about to be the conductor on the most brilliant, runaway train in showbiz. Good luck you'll love it.
