Olly will be hoping his acting is better received than his presenting though, as he recently made headlines for making a massive gaffe during a recent ‘X Factor’ live show.

The blunder saw him announce Monica Michael would be leaving the competition, instead of taking the judges’ vote to Deadlock.

The error led to many calling for the return of previous host Dermot O’Leary, who left the show earlier this year.

Olly tried to downplay the backlash during an interview with The Mirror last week.

‘The X Factor’ continues on Saturday at 8pm on ITV.
