"Olly Murs and Caroline Flack have been confirmed to return as hosts of The Xtra Factor. The pair will present the ITV2 spinoff for a second year, though Flack will cover the auditions, Boot Camp and Judges&amp;#039; Houses alone while the &amp;#039;Dance With Me Tonight&amp;#039; is on tour with One Direction in the US.   Murs will be &amp;quot;recording special items&amp;quot; for the series in his absence, before rejoining his colleague at the live shows. Flack said: &amp;quot;I had a fantastic time on The Xtra Factor last year with my TV husband Olly, so I can&amp;#039;t wait to get started on the show again.  &amp;quot;Even though Olly and I won&amp;#039;t be reunited in person until the live shows we will be together all the way in spirit; he&amp;#039;s bound to be calling me mid-interview to check what has been happening on the judges&amp;#039; tour to ensure he doesn&amp;#039;t miss out on any crucial gossip.&amp;quot;   Murs added: &amp;quot;I can&amp;#039;t wait to get back to The Xtra Factor this year, especially now my partner in crime Caroline is confirmed to be joining me. I know it&amp;#039;s going to be a great year and we&amp;#039;ll be grilling the judges and contestants more than ever before.&amp;quot; Flack had personally confirmed her return to The Xtra Factor back in March, while Murs said on Daybreak this morning that he had &amp;quot;officially signed on the dotted line&amp;quot;.  The pair were frequently romantically linked throughout last year&amp;#039;s series, but always denied the rumours.   Elsewhere on The X Factor, Louis Walsh and Gary Barlow have been confirmed for the judging panel, with Tulisa Contostavlos expected to return.  Dermot O&amp;#039;Leary will host the ITV series for a sixth year, while guest judges will fill in for departed panelist Kelly Rowland.  Geri Halliwell is tipped to both guest at auditions in Liverpool tomorrow (May 23) and take a permanent judging role later in the contest. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
