Vick Hope is to be the new face of The X Factor: Celebrity’s digital platforms.
The former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ contestant will host the new series of online spin-off ‘Xtra Bites’, and she "cannot believe" she will be part of the ITV talent show this year.
She said: "I absolutely can’t wait to get stuck in to all the backstage action at ‘The X Factor’ this year!
"I love the show for its spectacle and extravagance, it really is a Saturday night TV institution that I can’t believe I get to be a part of, and with the old team back together I know it’ll be gold.
"With Dermot appearing through flames, Nicole’s Shamazing catchphrases, Louis giving us vintage Louis and of course Simon Cowell doing what he does best."
The Capital FM DJ expects the celebrity version of the show to be "more exciting and entertaining" than ever.
She added: "Even better that it’s the all new celebrity version, which looks set to be more exciting and entertaining than ever, I’m hyped for the big personalities (and honestly, serious talent) both on and off the stage.
"I’m looking forward to running around behind the scenes to get the gossip, getting to know the contestants and judges and bringing you all those juicy Xtra Bites throughout the series. This should be a lot of fun."
Digital content series ‘Xtra Bites’ – available on The X Factor: Celebrity’s YouTube and Facebook social media channels – will feature backstage gossip from all the celebrities, funny games and reaction to all the biggest performances.
