Emma Willis and Rylan Clark could be lined up as the next X Factor hosts, according to a report.

Music mogul Simon Cowell is believed to be keen to poach the much-loved Big Brother presenters as replacements for current hosts Olly Murs and Caroline Flack.

“It would cause fireworks poaching Emma and Rylan off Big Brother but Simon usually gets what he wants,” a source told the Daily Star.

“He nicked Alesha Dixon off Strictly to be a judge on Britain’s Got Talent and Rita Ora from The Voice for The X Factor.”

A spokesperson for the X Factor dismissed report, telling Mirror TV: "We haven't even started discussing next year's series, so this is news to us. We are really pleased with Olly and Caroline's performance and they have brought a new dynamic to the show."

Former X Factor contestant-turned-host Olly made a number of on-air gaffes and last month the pop star announced Monica Michael was going home before the official result was announced , leading to serious backlash from viewers who even questioned if he'd be fired.

He also recently admitted he's unsure of his X Factor future, explaining: “I don’t know if me and Caroline will be back next series - we’ll have to wait and see what happens next year.

“It’s up to Simon Cowell and his guys to make that decision.”
