Singer Rita Ora has shared that she had a midnight meeting with "The X Factor" boss Simon Cowell over her role as a judge on the talent show.

The musician said that they had to meet at midnight because of their hectic schedules, reports mirror.co.uk.

"We had to fly out to Los Angles to finish my album the next day and he was working on 'Britain's Got Talent' at the time," Ora told The Sun.

"I had a lot of questions and he did too. But it just fit into place perfectly. And the time commitment worked perfectly for me. What made it special was when Simon asked me about 'The X Factor', he told me about his plans for the show and how he was going to change it up," she said.

The British singer, who is a former guest judge on "The X Factor", also said that the process was natural as they met at Cowell's West London mansion.

"His house was incredible. It was actually a no pressure vibe, it felt very natural, it was professional and straight to the point," the 24-year-old said.
