SHADE! Olly Murs says goodbye to X Factor and scores a gig on Strictly

It looks like Olly Murs is throwing a bit of shade at the X Factor since he's going to be performing on Strictly Come Dancing – Simon Cowell's arch nemesis in the TV world.

RadioTimes.com has confirmed that Olly and another former X Factor contestant, Rebecca Ferguson, will both appear as musical guests at the launch of the series.

Now, we all know that nearly everyone in the UK and Ireland have to do an annual swapathon with the channels, but Strictly is looking to take the top spot on Saturday September 3, when the first episode of the series will air.

And with Daisy Lowe, Anastacia, Ed Balls, Will Young, Louise Redknapp and Danny Mac all taking part, we're really looking forward to it.
