Khloe Kardashian joins X Factor USA as host

Khloe Kardashian has landed herself a hosting role on X Factor USA.

The reality TV star will front the show alongside US presenter Mario Lopez as the talent show takes a new look.

They replace old host Steve Jones, who was dumped from the show after its first series.

Word had already emanated from the internet about the appointment but it was officially confirmed on Tuesday (October 16). Speaking about the news, Kardashian said:

"I'm sure you've been hearing the rumours and I'm SO excited that I can finally confirm the news - I am joining The X factor as co-host with Mario Lopez! I'm a huge fan of the show so I literally fell over in my chair when I heard that I was being considered for the role."

The sister of Kim Kardashian meanwhile recently told Capital FM that she thinks X Factor USA judge Britney Spears is "so funny and amazing" on the show. She said of her new colleague:

"I love Britney Spears. I think she's so funny and amazing. I am actually surprised at how honest she is on the show. I thought she would be more quiet and reserved, I think she's hysterical."
