I was wondering how long it would take before the U.S media started tearing into X Factor host Steve Jones, after Simon Cowell handed the Welsh hunk the job of a lifetime.
Disappointingly, Jones’ performance on the show has received less-than-positive feedback, with reviewers who seem to be lining up to slam his presenting skills.
The 34-year-old ex-model was poised to become as big as American Idol star Ryan Seacrest, but so far hasn’t received many plaudits of the show, which launched in America on Wednesday night.
The New York Times has described Jones as‘utterly irrelevant,’ while The Boston Herald‘s Mark A Perigard said he ‘is so far in the background, he might as well be on another network.’
Initially Jones was set to team up with Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger, but she has since moved to the judging panel after Cheryl Cole was axed from the position.
But to be fair on poor Jonesy, it is only the first week and most of what we saw on the fist show was filmed months ago, the real test for Steve will come when the show goes live.
By then hopefully his nerves would have had time to calm down and we’ll get to see him shine the way us Brits have on telly back in the UK…
Then everyone else will be worrying about, er, keeping up with the Jonesey!
