Songstress Rita Ora is set to star in the new 'Fast & Furious 6' movie and has opened up about her role in the sequel.

She explained to Digital Spy that she got a call from the film's production team who asked if she would like to take part in the big screen project and it was so exciting that she had to accept the offer:

"They needed a head girl [for] the girl drivers of London town. They asked me, 'Would you mind being the leader of the pack in London?'"

"I was like, 'Of course, I'd love to'. And I think it summed up a great year for me, life kind of changed last year, so I did feel like a cool little leader when I was playing that role."

The 'Shine Ya Light' beauty added that her participation in the movie (pictured below) was very "last minute" so there wasn't time to prepare for the stunts and action scenes: "I didn't actually have time to rehearse any stunts because I literally got asked the day before the whole set was finished. I had to kind of come in and shoot it at the last minute."

'Fast & Furious 6' will open in theatres on May 24 and also stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson.
