Caroline, 35, has been blasted for ‘having no personality’, while Olly, 31, has suffered a series of blunders, most notably when he accidentally told Monica Michael she was going home before a decision had been made.

Now American Idol host Ryan Seacrest is rumoured to be taking over from the pair, and he’s even got 56-year-old Simon’s approval.

The 40-year-old told music mogul Simon: “Part of me wanted to come and host a segment of [The X Factor UK], but nobody made the offer and there’s two hosts.”

Simon replied: “You have to ask yourself to come to the party, you could have done it.”

It was recently announced that season 16 of American Idol, set to premiere on 6 January 2016, will be the last, meaning Ryan, 40, will definitely have enough time to front The X Factor.

But don’t worry – Simon hasn’t gone and abandoned poor Olly. He recently praised the Dear Darling singer for his constant improvement.

Si told the Daily Star: “The way he handled it was great, it’s part of his charm. Every week he’s getting better and better.”
