Dermot O'Leary Is Returning to The X Factor, Yay!

He just couldn't stay away...

Despite having been practising our best 'your Saturday night starts right here', X Factor boss Simon Cowell has decided to go back to the good old days when it comes to choosing a presenter for the show.

Yep, Dermot O'Leary has announced his triumphant return to the singing competition, just a year after saying buh-bye and having Caroline Flack and Olly Murs momentarily fill his shoes.

"I'm very flattered to be asked back to The X Factor, and am currently dusting off my dancing shoes. There is nothing more exciting than hosting live TV on a Saturday night," Dermot said in a statement.

Adding: "​The show is naturally very close to my heart, after having hosted it for eight years. I'm really looking forward to it, and excited to be back.​"

While Simon said: "​Dermot's back! Hooray! And so is his dancing. Welcome home Dermot.​"

What with this and the return of the room auditions, well, we're a little excited.
