Laura Whitmore misses out on Xtra Factor job

Laura Whitmore has missed out on an opportunity to be come the next presenter on the Xtra Factor.
The 30 year old presenter was the favourite to take the reigns following he decision to quit I'm A Celebrity.
Despite the rumours it was confirmed today that BBC Radio 1 presenter Matt Edmondson would be taking up the position. He will take over from presenters Rochelle Humes and Melvin Odoom.
There were also rumours that 2FM presenter Nicky Byrne was also one of the names being considered for The Xtra Factor.
The Irish Mail on Sunday quoted a source back in May which said that, "A number of people are being considered for the position and Nick is on the list. He has plenty of experience on camera and has a great profile in England which is a real plus."
However Nicky did not travel to London to audition due to commitments to Eurovision and the release of his solo album.
The X Factor roadshow arrive in Dublin later this week with Croke Park hosting the Irish leg of the auditions. All four judges - Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh, Nicole Scherzinger and Simon Cowell - are expected to be in attendance on Friday.
