Rita Ora, who reportedly left 'The Voice' for a 1.5 million pound 'X Factor' deal, is now expressing her rage at a BBC insider saying she chose 'cash over credibility.'

Sources reveal that the 24-year-old singer is adamant that she is not moving for money, and is angry over the claims, as she believes that she had started as a guest judge on 'The X Factor' and was just "going home", reports The Mirror.

The insiders added that if it was all just about money, then the 'R.I.P' hit-maker wouldn't be on the show, as she would be going around the world making millions from endorsements and live performances.

Ora, who is excited to come back on the show, will be joining Simon Cowell, Nick Grimshaw and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini on the judges' panel.
