The Hits Radio and CITV host Luke Franks has been announced as online presenter for The X Factor, bringing viewers exclusives from both the auditions and live shows.

Franks commented 'The buzz is massive already. Obviously Simon being back is huge on its own, let alone with Cheryl there and their history. Then with Louis to stir it up and a Spice Girl to top it off, it's gonna be epic'. The X Factor returns to screens August 30.
