Rita Ora wants 'X Factor' return

X Factor guest judge Rita Ora has said that she would love to return to the show.

The 'Hot Right Now' singer joined Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos and Louis Walsh at London auditions this week and has been tipped for a permanent position.



Asked by Capital FM if she would be tempted to rejoin the panel, Ora replied: "I said, whenever they need me, give me a call.

"I mean, obviously, I'm doing my own shows and I've got my album coming out, I'm still finishing my album. So obviously my music is the most important [thing], but there's a mixture. Whenever I can of course I'll be right back here."



Geri Halliwell and Leona Lewis have already completed stints at auditions, while former X Factor USA panelist Nicole Scherzinger will guest judge the UK contest for a second series in London today (May 30).

Halliwell had been tipped to join the panel full-time following Kelly Rowland's departure, but recent reports suggest that she will be overlooked for failing to connect with her fellow judges.
