Rita Ora on why she quit 'The Voice': 'It has nothing to do with the other coaches'

Songstress Rita Ora has revealed that she has no bad feelings towards her former colleagues on 'The Voice' now that she has joined 'The X Factor' as a judge. 

Speaking to press at the recent O2 Silver Clef awards, where she picked up the VEVO Best Female prize, the 'I Will Never Let You Down' beauty admitted that she didn't leave the vocal talent show because of tension or bad blood, and instead the decision was based more on how it affected her schedule:

"It's nothing to do with any of the coaches personally. I love them all. But it's definitely something to fit in with my timetable and my schedule. It just works for me, you know? And that experience I had with 'The Voice' is surreal."

Ora added that she can't wait to get started on the audition process, which is due to kick off tomorrow in Manchester: "I can't wait to get started on The X-Factor. You’ll have to watch it - it's going to be great though, it's going to be fun. The most important thing is we find talent and we have fun, that's all it is.”
