Brian Dowling is reportedly in line to take over hosting The Xtra Factor this year.
Former host Sarah Jane Crawford announced she had quit the show earlier this month, so obviously there’s a position to fill.
According to The Sun Brian auditioned for show bosses this week.
But he’s facing stiff competition from vlogger superstars such as Jim Chapman and Joe Sugg.
The Sun say that Simon Cowell is hoping to tap into a younger market if he signs them.
Pop Idol stars Sam and Mark, and Matt Johnson and Kiss 100’s Ricky and Melvin are also said to be in the running.
