Simon Cowell wants O'Leary to quit BBLB

Simon Cowell has admitted that he wants Dermot O'Leary to quit Big Brother's Little Brother.

The new X Factor host has been filming for both shows all summer, but he recently complained about the long hours involved and hinted that he may not be able to carry on doing so next year.

Now Cowell has advised O'Leary to quit his job as presenter of Little Brother after seven series.

"I hope that next year he only does The X Factor," Cowell told The Mirror. "It's a much bigger gig."
