Former X Factor Judge to Replace Rita Ora On The Voice

There's a lot of back and forth going on between the two shows!

Rita Ora only spent one season on BBC1's The Voice UK with long-standing mentors Tom Jones and will.i.am and Kaiser Chief's Ricky Wilson before quitting the panel and moving on to rival reality show, The X Factor, on ITV.

Ora's chair is up for grabs and reports are suggesting that former X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger could be replacing Rita on The Voice UK. Scherzinger is said to be in talks with bosses in BBC to take on a role as a mentor on the talent show. The former Pussycat Doll is said to be the "front-runner" for the gig as she has previous experience on a similar show.

A source has claimed that will.i.am is "lobbying hard" to get his good friend, Scherzinger, on the show.

Rita Ora will join Simon Cowell, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Nick Grimshaw on the judging panel of The X Factor.
