Getting rid of Olly and keeping will.i.am is madness. He should have been axed after the first series.

Getting rid of Olly and keeping will.i.am is madness. He should have been axed after the first series.

Get rid of Olly who’s been there for 6 years or will.i.am who’s been there since day 1. It’s obvious they’re gonna keep the one that’s been there since day 1

To be honest, it's not the first time a show like this has made him cannon fodder to mask wider problems. The X Factor and Simon Cowell did exactly the same to him when he hosted it with Caroline Flack in 2015. There were much wider issues than him being the host but they were happy to feed him to the lions. But he'll get back up again and prove these new brooms wrong. He always does.

 

With the Take That tour next year, he's got the joy of going out and doing what he loves which is touring to look forward to, but without the same hassles of his own tours tied to it. I dare say he'll probably use this time that's now unexpectedly free for the rest of the year to just relax and enjoy settling into married life with Amelia.

 

What I say for next year: get a killer new album recorded, sign with BMG (who he should have gone with anyway) and find his own "Padam Padam" moment.
