We don’t know whether we’re coming or going with Rita Ora – she’s only done one series as a coach on The Voice and she’s already rumoured to be ditching the show.
But now, after she was named the bookies’ favourite to replace Mel B as a judge on the X Factor, she’s reportedly in secret talks with Simon Cowell to join his ITV show.
The music boss is apparently in advanced negotiations with Rita and is hoping she’ll sign a contract for his talent contest within the next few days despite previously turning down an offer.
The X Factor is being given an overhaul for the next series with Dermot O’Leary quitting as host and judge Louis Walsh being axed in favour of BBC Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw.
And with Spice Girl Mel booked in to appear on the next season of America’s Got Talent, her X Factor spot could be free.
A source told The Sun: “Re-signing Cheryl [Fernandez-Versini] and getting Grimmy changed everything.
“Rita really wants to be on that panel now so it’s a matter of making the logistics work. There’s a lot to work through.”
A number of names are rumoured to be joining the panel including former judge Tulisa Contostavlos and singer Mika, who is a judge on the Italian version of the show.
However, X Factor bosses are keeping their cards close to their chest, with a spokesman telling the newspaper: “There is particularly intense speculation over the judging panel this year.
“No formal decision has been made on the full line-up as yet.”
