Speaking about her exciting new venture alongside Melvin, Rochelle said:  “I have watched The Xtra Factor for years so I am beyond excited about joining such a brilliant team and getting to work with my old friend Melvin makes it even better.
“I also can’t wait to meet the contestants and be a part of their X Factor experience.”

Odoom added: ‘I’ve always been a massive fan of the show and to get to present ‘The Xtra Factor’ is a dream for me. We are there to support the contestants and have fun – I’m really looking forward to it!’

The X Factor and Xtra Factor return to our screens this autumn.
