Rita Ora would love X Factor return

Rita Ora would love to return to 'The X Factor'.

The 'RIP' singer - who has received acclaim for her stint as a guest judge on the ITV programme despite not yet releasing an album - is keen to join Louis Walsh, Tulisa Contostavlos and Gary Barlow again if she has the time to do so.

She told Capital FM: ''I said, 'Whenever they need me, give me a call.' I mean, obviously I'm doing my own shows and I've got my album. So obviously my music is the most important thing but there's a mixture. Whenever I can of course I'll be right back there.''

Rita is believed to have impressed producers on the show because of her positive attitude despite little sleep the night before.

A source said: ''Rita did brilliantly despite only having two hours sleep because she played with Coldplay in Switzerland the night before.

''By December, she could be a bigger star so picking her now could be a masterstroke.''

Tulisa also backed the 21-year-old singer for a role because she knows ''what she's talking about''.

She said: ''Rita is great for the panel. Despite just breaking the commercial scene, she's been in the industry for years and knows what she's talking about.''
