'X Factor' host axed? Steve Jones, host of "The X Factor," Steve Jones Set To Be Axed From X Factor USA

Host Will Not Have His Contract Renewed For Next Season...reportedly won't return next season. The former Welsh model, who some speculate is dating one of the show's judges, reportedly is "devastated" by the prospect. Steve Jones will reportedly not have his X Factor USA contract extended after the audience failed to warm to him and his style.
Former T4 host Jones landed the plum role ahead of the UK host Dermot O'Leary and survived the axe when it fell on Cheryl Cole in the early days of this years series. However, as sources claim, this weeks Final will be Jones' last appearance on the show.
"Steve keeps saying that living in LA is a dream come true," a source told The Mirror. "He loves the weather and the women, and he loves working on X Factor – it’s just a shame that the US public has not warmed to him."

Adding: "He got terrible reviews from critics when he started and things haven’t got better."

"There have been mistakes and he just doesn’t seem to have the knack for dealing with contestants. The executives at Fox have already decided not to renew his contract and so, short of a miracle happening, it is pretty much a done deal that he will not take part next season."
Steve Jones was linked to show judge Nicole Scherzinger following her split from Lewis Hamilton earlier this year.
