Olly Murs on 'X Factor' hosting job: 'This is going to be hard for me'

Back in April it was confirmed that singer Olly Murs will be the new host of 'The X Factor' in the UK alongside Caroline Flack. 

The pair will take over Dermot O'Leary's duties and Murs has now revealed that it's quite a serious new role so he's not entirely sure how he will fit into that

When asked by a fan on Twitter how he will handle being 'sensible' while presenting the show, Murs confessed that it will certainly be a challenge and joked that music mogul Simon Cowell has given him free reign on how he behaves on set:

"This is going to be hard for me... Simon has said I can do what I like... UH OH!"

The star recently opened up about his strong work ethic and admitted that he's no stranger to hard graft: "I’ve always been a grafter. I’ve never asked [for] money from anyone. I was doing two paper-rounds a day from the age of 13. I wanted to have new shoes and jeans and to smell nice. But I look at kids today, even my cousin for example, and they don’t want to work. I just can’t get my head around that.”
