10. Dermot O'Leary (51 points) http://www.thedrum.com/uploads/news/tmp/77017/dermot_oleary_hosts_the_marriage_ref_a_brand_new_saturday_night_comedy_panel_series.jpg Everyone's favourite bulgetastic former X Factor presenter, Dermot O'Leary, is next up in the countdown at #10. It might be harder to remember that far back, but O'Leary was the longest serving presenter of Big Brother's Little Brother. Since then, he conquered the TV world after joining The X Factor in 2007, regularly appearing on many awards shows as the host and even a guest stint on This Morning. Dermot has occasionally been seen on BBC's Comic Relief to front a portion of the telethon. Highest score: 10 points from popchartfreak

Chris Evans has been confirmed as the new lead presenter from next series. He's signed a three year deal, which seems a bit ambitious considering the show could well flop with a new line-up of presenters.

The coaches are *supposed* to be singers though. There's a few performances they have to do as part of their role.

Carmel owning Bushra! *.*

Obviously with Rita now gone to X Factor, there'll be at least one new member to the coaches for this series. Daily Mail claims she wouldn't have been able to commit to The Voice next year anyway "It's never been about money for Rita. She loved her time on The Voice but her diary for early 2016 meant she wouldn't be able to commit to The Voice for a second series." Perhaps the plan all along was for Kylie to come back? I wouldn't mind Kylie getting a second series, she was ok in her first series but at least better than Jessica Cornish.

Rita was amazing on The Voice, so hopefully she'll be good on X Factor too. Still undecided over Nick Grimshaw. I'll reserve judgement until the show airs.

Well done James! :cheer: Great winner! :wub:

I'm disappointed with this storyline. It would be much better to see Kush and Shabnam happy but adapting to married life / life as a couple after their various troubles. Also, Martin + Stacey needs to happen. They were building Stacey up to be the next generation Pauline until this ridiculous storyline.

Streaming of the video will ensure a big first week on Billboard at least. But I've got no idea how well it will do beyond that.

Amazing season finale! :o

For once Jay is actually right! :o

eeeek. Missed the top 50 too! :( It will be interesting to see whether it sticks around or plummets out the chart now.

TIDAL 2.0? :P

Clearly Timmy's Anaconda doesn't like buns, hun. :o

Nikki's return has prompted me to watch regular BB for the first time in ages and she didn't disappoint!

There's no way Billy will be axed now. He seems to be an untouchable recurring character for continuity (like Tracey or Big Mo), the character will only leave when the actor wants to. Plus, they've made an effort to integrate Billy and Janet into the Cokers family.

I've been expecting her exit for a while. Massively underused, which is a shame because she's a great actress.

I thought it was pretty bad. I don't think I'll watch again next week.
