Rita Ora repeatedly tried to dodge X Factor questions during an interview here at KISS, as Rickie, Melvin and Charlie put her on the spot.

Rumours that Ora has been poached from The Voice UK to become an X Factor judge this season have been mounting recently, with some reports saying that the singer has been offered a £1.5 million deal.

“I’m not saying anything apart from it’s a huge compliment…” she said, when Charlie asked whether she was looking forward to being on The X Factor panel.

On the rumoured large payment, she said: “I’ve been taught to never talk about money”.

In addition to plenty of laughter, she continued “all I can say is it’s about to go down”.
