Ahead of the first live shows of the series, X Factor judge Rita Ora says she wouldn't be a contestant on the show as "it's so much work".

The 24 year-old singer, who looks after the girls category on the ITV show, told us "I wouldn't be a contestant because it's so much work. I don't think I'd be a contestant because these girls have a lot to do. They're brave to kind of come in to the industry that way."

"It's like jumping straight into the deep end, so I don't think that would happen for me. I think I would bottle out of it", said Rita at our Haunted House Party last night.

Rita brought her X Factor ladies, Kiera Weathers and Lauren Murray along the party to perform with her. Rita said: "It's so crazy filming a TV show and then kind of being on stage. That's why I wanted to invite my two finalists her third finalist, Louisa Johnson, is currently on voice rest."

After the performance, Rita told us that "they had a great time, so it was a special moment."

On this weekend's X Factor show, Ellie Goulding, Little Mix and Ben Haenow are all set to perform.
