Simon Cowell To Pinch Rita Ora From The Voice?

Reports claim SiCo wants Ora to join himself and Chezza on the X Factor judging panel...

Simon Cowell has apparently set his sights on Rita Ora to be a judge on the X Factor.

Yep, it’s that time of year again when rumours regarding the new panel are rife online, with SiCo and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini already set for a comeback.

And, while the future of Louis Walsh and Mel B (despite Chezza’s rumoured protests) hangs in the balance, The Voice coach Rita Ora has now been linked to the ITV talent show.

The ‘I Will Never Let You Down’ singerpreviously appeared on the XF as a guest judge back in 2012, with The Daily Star reporting that Cowell is keen to have talks with the blonde bombshell for this year's series.

[related]When asked about Rita’s judging credentials, the music mogul told the tabloid: “I saw Rita on The Voice and I thought she was very good.

"When it comes to asking her over, you know, it’s fair game."

SiCo then recalled how he pinched Britain’s Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon from rival BBC show Strictly Come Dancing, hinting that he may do the same with Ora.

The 55-year old said: “We were calling Alesha for two years to come and join one of our shows. I think they have to want to come over in the first place."

Over to you Rita...
