Alessandro Catellan is 43 years old. She is considered one of the most successful Italian TV presenters, having in his assets project such as X Factor, but also music shows on MTV.

Finally, M I K A, although of British / Lebanese descent, was a judge on both the French The Voice and the Italian X Factor. The Italians loved him a lot and they feel he is their own artist.
