Music mogul Simon Cowell is reportedly trying to get singer Rita Ora as one of the judges on his British reality show "The X Factor".

Ora, 21, was seen making an exit from Cowell's mansion Wednesday. Going by her silver trouser-suit, it seemed that the meeting was for professional reasons, reports mirror.co.uk.

"Rita was not there for dinner on Wednesday night. She was there for a meeting and there were business colleagues with her," Cowell's spokesperson said.

Cowell had approached Ora last year as well, but she had denied the offer to judge the show because she wanted to focus on her albums.
