Dermot O’Leary has hit out at the press for continually printing stories about the death of Michael Jackson. The X Factor host thinks that media should spare a thought for the singers children before reporting on every angle of his demise.
O’Leary met Jackson at London’s O2 arena in March this year,when he announced his upcoming ‘This Is It’ residency.
Dermot O’Leary is to replace Sir Trevor McDonald as the host of the National Television Awards.
The new revamped ceremony will move to O2 arena in London, and instead of airing in its usual autumn slot it is moved to January 2010.
“I’m delighted to announce this new deal which secures the NTAs – the most popular television awards, as chosen by viewers – on ITV1 until 2011 at a fantastic new home in the O2 arena,” said ITV’s Elaine Bedell.
“I’m also very pleased to be announcing Dermot as the new host of the awards, and I have no doubt that he’s the right man to continue the excellent job that Sir Trevor has done over the last 13 years.”
Dermot O’Leary is all set to open a fish restaurant in Brighton and has admitted that he is nervous about launching it in the middle of a credit crunch.
Dermot confessed: “Oh my God yes I’m nervous – in the middle of a recession I’m insane!”
He continued: “It’s a fish brasserie and we’re opening in late May. It’s not posh, posh but yeah it’s a posh fish and chip shop.
Dermot O’Leary experiences a weird and ghoulishly alternative set of X Factor judges when he hosts The B Factor; an eerie X Factor spoof on Saturday morning, in Ross Lee’s Ghoulies on Nickelodeon.
Dermot is drafted in to play ‘host’ to a talent show with a twist – to find kids’ presenter Ross Lee a new butler.
Ross is quick to line up the judges for his contest and they are all rather familiar to Dermot: a Geordie witch called ‘Cheryl Mole’; Ross’ friend Armpit as a puppet-like version of Simon Cowell with high-waisted trousers and a mop of jet black hair. Ross’ other friend Mr Budgie (a talking head) morphs into a Louis Walsh-a-like with grey hair and an Irish accent; and Ross himself transforms into an Australian diva with long dark hair and a leopard print dress.
X Factor presenter Dermot O’Leary has been hired as a team captain on the BBC Two music quiz ‘Never Mind The Buzzcocks.’
Dermot won’t be a permanent captain however, but will be one of the guest fill ins replacing Bill Bailey who has quit the show after 11 series.
Other captains will include Mark Ronson, Frank Skinner, Jack Dee, Johnny Vegas and Bob Mortimer.
