Rita Ora was the only judge without an act in the final of The Voice last weekend and it seems her lack of success on the show could have had a lasting effect – she’s hinted she’s quit the programme.
The singer was brought on as a replacement for former panellist Jessie J this series but it seems one year could be enough.
More news!
Posting a picture of herself with her fellow coaches on Instagram, she wrote: “I’m Gona miss these guys... Thank you for being 3 of the best people to work with ever!! @bbcthevoice #TheCoachesBiatch.”
Fellow judge Tom Jones said Rita was devastated when she didn’t manage to take one of her group through to the final and she was said to have burst into tears behind the scenes after her final singer was knocked out of the competition.
Tom told the Daily Star Sunday: “Rita was gutted, it was a tough thing for a new coach to have to go through. I felt sorry for her because she’s done a great job.
“As soon as it happened I thought, ‘My God, I hope this doesn’t put her off.’ I’m hoping it hasn’t made her want to go.”
Rita was the first ever judge not to have an auditionee in the final of the show after a rule change this year meant there wasn’t someone from each category in the last episode.
Please stay, Rita!
