An insider told the newspaper, “'Top of the Pops' is a great brand name and the BBC are keen to use it. Some at the highest level are massive supporters of the plan and have given the go-ahead.

Former ‘X-Factor’ host Dermot and Radio One DJ Fearne are said to be being touted as the perfect presenters for the show, especially following O’Leary’s ‘X-Factor' departure last month.

“Dermot’s departure from the 'X Factor' is another piece of the jigsaw,” the source added. “Teaming him with Fearne would be a brilliant move. He already presents a popular Radio 2 show – fronting 'Top of the Pops' is a logical step.”

'Top of the Pops' ran on the BBC from 1964 to 2006 before the weekly show was axed due to the rise of downloads and online streaming. But now the charts have moved with the times and are taking downloads and streaming numbers into account, it could be the perfect time for the iconic show to make a comeback.
