Singer Rita Ora has reportedly lost the chance of a million-pound pay cheque from media mogul Simon Cowell to be on the judging panel of 'X Factor'.
After the 23-year-old singer's successful stint as a guest judge on the programme, Cowell had apparently been courting her to get on board full time, reported Daily Mirror.
"Rita was formally offered the X Factor job and was very flattered, but turned it down. She is out in LA at the moment, having meetings, making contacts and working hard in the studio.
"Rita is bringing out a new album this summer - so that's her priority. She wants to focus purely on her music and not get distracted by other things. She also saw how Jessie J's album struggled after she appeared as a coach on The Voice, and thinks the two could be connected. Rita thinks Jessie might have come across badly on TV. For now, Rita is staying away from reality TV and is concentrating on the day job," a source said.
