Rita Ora has blamed busy schedules for her split from Calvin Harris.

The celebrity duo broke up earlier this year after a number of months together.

Speaking in the December issue of Cosmopolitan, Ora suggested that they couldn't find time to see each other.

This ultimately led to the breakdown of their relationship as busy schedules got in way.

She said: "It was the right guy at the wrong time. I was about to start a tour, and he was also all over the place. There's only so much you can do when you don't see each other.

"I really admire people who have long-distance relationships. It's an incredible achievement. I couldn't do it."

Ora meanwhile previously suggested that Harris blocked her from performing 'I Will Never Let You Down' - which he wrote and produced - at a US awards ceremony this summer.
