The 30-year-old presenter, who grew up in Heaton, Newcastle, and Northumberland, will host the new series of Xtra Bites.
She said: "I absolutely can't wait to get stuck in to all the backstage action at The X Factor this year! I love the show for its spectacle and extravagance, it really is a Saturday night TV institution that I can't believe I get to be a part of, and with the old team back together I know it'll be gold.
"With Dermot (O'Leary) appearing through flames, Nicole's (Scherzinger) Shamazing catchphrases, Louis (Walsh) giving us vintage Louis and of course Simon Cowell doing what he does best.
"Even better that it's the all-new celebrity version, which looks set to be more exciting and entertaining than ever. I'm hyped for the big personalities and, honestly, serious talent both on and off the stage. I’m looking forward to running around behind the scenes to get the gossip, getting to know the contestants and judges and bringing you all those juicy Xtra Bites throughout the series. This should be a lot of fun!”
Vick competed on the show's Saturday night BBC rival Strictly Come Dancing last year, and has worked for Sky, Capital, MTV and Channel 4 as a presenter. Xtra Bites will bring backstage gossip and reaction to online audiences who are following the new ITV series.
