Simon Cowell confirms to Ellen DeGeneres that Khloe Kardashian is definitely in the running for the job of X Factor host, RumorFix has learned.

Simon was being coy at first saying, “Well we have screen tested a load of people. I know who I like but now I have to get it approved by the network. I think it would be wrong to say at this point in case the network’s say no.”

Ellen wouldn’t back down, then asked, “Well give us three names that it could be?”

Simon responded by saying, “Well it could be a Kardashian. Yes it could be I think that would work. I’m quite a fan of not putting hosts on this show because I think it’s going to give a different dynamic,  so we got to find people with a great chemistry, but Khloe is definitely up there in the running.”
