What a show!
Last updated 18th Jul 2018
After Rita Ora's utterly fantastic performance at Hits Radio Live on Saturday 14th July, fans in the audience were sad to see her leave the stage. Thankfully, it wasn't long before she was bouncing back into the show to sing 'For You' alongside Liam Payne during his set.
The audience went wild for the duet, which was recorded by the two of them for the film Fifty Shades Freed - and they were getting VERY close during the song which delighted fans.
Fans in the audience took to Twitter to express their appreciation for the pair.
Backstage we caught up with Rita Ora who opened up about working with Cardi B on 'Girls'. "She was fully pregnant when we were together. I’m so happy for her and I have to say something - for someone that was so pregnant, she worked so hard," she revealed.
"I feel like if I was to ever to have a baby, I would be the biggest nightmare on planet earth! I’d be like, 'Don’t talk to me, give me food!' So to see her like graft and still be super nice, she was really working, you know?"
Rita also discussed her brand new album with Sarah-Jane, which she revealed she's HOPING to put out this year! Exciting!
She said, "I’ve been so back and forth with my label on this. Just making sure the music’s right. November for me, I probably shouldn’t be saying this, but it’s my birth month."

Rita Ora rose to fame with the success of 'How We Do (Party)' back in 2012 and since then she has seen huge success with a number of hits including 'R.I.P.' and 'I Will Never Let You Down'.
Liam Payne is quickly making a name for himself as a solo artist following the hiatus of One Direction back in 2016. Having started out on The X Factor in 2010, Liam - along with Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson - became arguably the biggest boy band in the world. In July 2016, 24-year-old Liam announced that he was setting out on a solo career, and released his first single ‘Strip That Down’ featuring Quavo in May 2017.
