Break-up blow up for X Factor host

As rumours continue to swirl that Luke Jacobz will not return for the new season of The X Factor, it appears he has suffered a blow to his personal life, too.

The TV personality, who has hosted the Seven talent search for several years, has reportedly ended his relationship with girlfriend of two years, Katie Hansen.

The break-up is said to have occurred after Jacobz moved to the US in an attempt to tackle Hollywood.

The split comes just months after the couple, pictured right, hinted on social media they had tied the knot in secret, with Hansen posting a snap of them kissing under a wedding arch. However, the nuptials turned out to be a ruse.

While a new-look panel of judges was recently announced for this year’s X Factor, including Guy Sebastian and James Blunt, it is still unknown who will fill the coveted hosting role on the latest series.

Jacobz has not confirmed he has left the show but speculation is rife that he is being replaced with a fresh face.
