Girls Aloud singer Kimberley Walsh is the latest person tipped to be the new presenter of ITV2's The Xtra Factor, according to the papers. The Sunday Mirror reports that the 27-year-old is in the frame after bandmate Cheryl Cole put in a good word for her, following the news last month that Konnie Huq had quit the X Factor spin-off show. And TV execs were reportedly impressed with Kimberley's presenting skills on the Viva show Suck My Pop. "Kimberley is the girl X Factor bosses want for the job," a source told the paper. "She has all the right ingredients – she looks great, she’s feisty, can hold her own and, most importantly, has been a success in the music industry. Cheryl gave producers a glowing reference telling them she would be brilliant for the show." According to the paper Kimberley faces competition from the likes of Dancing on Ice star Laura Hamilton and MTV host Emma Willis. A spokesman for ITV told the paper, "No decision has been made. Several names are in the hat."
