Dermot O’Leary has broken the sad news that he’s leaving The X Factor after eight years.
We should have seen this coming really after the week we’ve had – Zayn Malik’s called time on his One Direction career, Jeremy Clarkson’s leaving/been fired from Top Gear, Downton Abbey’s out of here, and Kim’s waved goodbye to her blonde locks. And now Dermot’s leaving us.
More news!
WHY GOD WHY?!?!
Derm broke our hearts with these tweets: "After eight wonderful years on The X Factor 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!"
Wait a minute... will we be seeing Derm on *Top Gear? *There is a job going after all...
