Celeb News: Caroline Flack to replace Khloe Kardashian on X Factor USA?

Caroline Flack is apparently being wooed to jump from The X Factor UK this year.

The Xtra Factor host is reportedly in early talks to replace Khloe Kardashian as the host of the X Factor in the USA.

It could mean this year’s ITV2 spin-off show sees a revamped show, with Caroline’s co-host Olly Murs already having admitted he’s unlikely to return, wanting to instead focus on his music in the States.

According to Heat magazine, X Factor boss Simon started talks with Caroline last month after the pair met up at a BRIT awards after party.

A supposed source told the magazine this week: “It’s early days, but Simon has chatted with Caroline about working on The X Factor USA. He thinks she’s absolutely brilliant on Xtra Factor.”

They added: “At the Sony BRITs party, he and Caroline sat in the corner all night together, having a long, animated talk.

” He really likes her cheeky, down-to-earth TV persona and how nothing fazes her.”

But it’ll be a big career jump for Caroline and a risky one.

So far every host of the X Factor USA has been sacked after just one series, including fellow Brit Steve Jones, and the judges’ haven’t been around for much longer.

A friend down played the talks, saying: “She wants to take her time.

“She loves working on The Xtra Factor and she would never leave the UK permanently.”

If it's true, sure will miss Caroline on Xtra Factor, but I think she'll do fine on X Factor USA (Better than Khloe at least)

Lee!!

SO CONFLICTED!

I would love to have her on the US X Factor but Xtra won't be the same without her, especially is Olly is leaving too ahhh

there's advantages and disadvantages to this, but i think in the long run it'll most likely be a bad thing because british TV hosts rarely translate well to american shows (steve jones bombed on XF USA S1, ant and dec bombed every time they were given US TV pilots, etc etc)

.. but then again olly has left Xtra Factor too and their chemistry is what made it great, so without him she has no real reason to stay either

If this is true, then well done to her - she should take the opportunity!

She's a good host and television personality.

Noone in the US knows who she is . This seems risky. I want khloe to stay.

She should stay on the UK show, which is bigger, better and more successful anyway.

If she co hosts with Mario it could work, they have familiarity with Mario and potential to launch her US presenting career if all goes well, she's also really good at what she does!
