X Factor launch overshadowed by exit of host Matthew Newton
Seven has revealed that The X Factor is to start next Monday – but it has lost Matthew Newton as the host, it is being reported this morning.
After weeks of promos for the talent contest, the network finally showed its hand over the weekend, revealing that The X Factor launches a week tonight.
Seven announced that it was to launch The X Factor back in May. The show is being produced for Seven by Fremantle Media.
But according to the Herald Sun, Newton has left the show for health reasons. Seven issued a statement to Mumbrella saying:
Well done Matthew Newton – do the world a favor and stay in rehab
If only there was a rehab program to cure being a jerk.
Why not just import the UK version with Simon Cowell and Danny Minogue? Foxtel airs American Idol.
You all need to be more respectful for those who suffer mental illness. And are jerks. And talentless.

Maybe Ben Cousins to replace him?
He might find life a little more fulfilling if he wasn’t a hostage to his ego. Unfortunately fame is mostly wank and ego
This poor sad fool (edited by MUmbrella for legal reasons)
Crazy shakes, I’ve lost all respect.
All respect.
Next thing Channel 7 will announce a show featuring, Matthew Newton, Ben Cousins, Kyle Sandilands and that pedophile from Hey Dad. They like to bank on a sure thing!
