'Fifty Shades of Grey' star Rita Ora has developed an addiction to social media, particularly Instagram, and believes the effect it has on her is similar to a drug.
The 23-year-old singer said her phone is the first thing she reaches for when she wakes up in the morning, reported Contactmusic.
"I'm on it as soon as I wake up. I scroll with one eye open. It's like a drug. For me, it's like, look forward. You don't have to look side to side. If you start looking from side to side, you get confused," she said.
