Iggy Azalea says she is excited to spend more time in Australia later this year.

The rapper has been in Sydney recently recording episodes for her home country's X Factor.

However, she told the Daily Telegraph that she hopes to spend more time down under later in 2016.

Azalea said: "I hope it will be a bit of a summer getaway and I can work too.

"It will be summer so hopefully I can get out and chill and show everybody that is coming with me the good food and the beach and play some tennis and ride horses."
