Dermot O’Leary has hit out at fellow TV presenter Vernon Kay, after Vernon claimed he would have turned down the X Factor job if it had been offered to him.

Dermot told Heat magazine:

“It’s the biggest show in the country.”

“Unless you’re Jonathan Ross or Ant and Dec . . . if you say you’d turn it down, you’re full of s***.”

Dermot added: “Everyone else who says they’d turn it down, they’re lying.”

He also told Heat magazine: “Even Davina McCall wouldn’t turn that job down — she told me herself.”

Lets be honest, it’s a bit of a moot point. Vernon Kay and his cheesy grin weren’t likely to be offered the job anyway, were they?
