Date published: 27 August 2015


OLDHAMER Nick Grimshaw is set to become a Saturday night staple from this weekend until Christmas as his “X-Factor” journey begins.

The 31 year old, who presents the BBC Radio One Breakfast Show, will line up as a judge alongside Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Rita Ora and Simon Cowell on the popular ITV reality contest.

Nick, a former pupil at Our Lady’s in Royton and self-confessed “X-Factor” addict, regularly tops Best Dressed lists and polls to find the country’s most influential members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community.
