Rita Ora believes TV talent shows like the X Factor are inspiring.

The singer is a new face on the programme's judging panel this year alongside Nick Grimshaw.

She was poached from rival show The Voice, with the X Factor panel completed by Simon Cowell and Cheryl.

Speaking to Glamour, Ora said that seeing young people go through the audition stages has had a profound effect on her.

She said: "It gets me emotional because I watch these kids performing in school and they're already above me for even finishing school.

"It's so inspirational, that's why I do these TV shows. It's not about thinking, ‘Oh my God, I want to be on TV every Saturday night'."
