The Saturdays singer and the KISS FM DJ have today (18.06.15) been confirmed to co-host the ITV2 spin-off show, which will return to screens this autumn alongside 'The X Factor'.
The 26-year-old beauty - who has previously presented ITV's 'This Morning' alongside her husband Marvin Humes - is "excited" to start work on the talent show, which she has watched for "years".
Rochelle said: "I have watched 'The Xtra Factor' for years so I am beyond excited about joining such a brilliant team and getting to work with my old friend Melvin makes it even better. I also can't wait to meet the contestants and be a part of their 'X Factor' experience."
Melvin - who co-hosts The KISS FM breakfast show with Ricky Williams and Charlie Hughes - is more than qualified for the job having presented on 4Music, T4, Kiss TV, MTV and BBC Three.
Talking about his new job Melvin said: "I've always been a massive fan of the show and to get to present 'The Xtra Factor' is a dream for me. We are there to support the contestants and have fun - I'm really looking forward to it!"
Several executives have shared their praises of the presenting duo, with a CEO calling them the "dream duo".
Richard Holloway, acting CEO at FremantleMedia UK, said "Rochelle and Melvin are a dream duo and accomplished presenters. They will bring plenty of fun to the show."
While Nigel Hall, global head of television for Syco Entertainment, said: "I've loved getting to know Rochelle and Melvin. They are great friends, have great chemistry together and are both passionate 'X Factor' fans. A perfect combination to host 'The Xtra Factor'."
'The X Factor' and 'The Xtra Factor' will return this autumn on ITV and ITV2.
