X Factor Judge Pulls Out Of Manchester Audition
The auditions will be taking place tomorrow
Rita Ora has will be absent from the Manchester auditions of the X Factor which take place today and tomorrow.
The reason behind this is a schedule clash for the singer/actress and the auditions. The Manchester auditions were set to be held earlier in the week but because of the sad passing of Simon Cowell's mother, the dates had to be re-shuffled resulting in Ora not being able to attend.
Rita will be able to attend today's auditions but due to a commitment at a Chanel show for Paris Fashion Week, her seat is as of now empty for Thursday's round of contestants.
The auditions will continue regardless of Ora's absence with Simon Cowell, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Nick Grimshaw in the hot-seats according to an ITV spokesperson:
"Rita obviously wanted to be there but it is just unfortunate that with the change in filming dates there is an issue. We will go ahead either with Simon, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Nick Grimshaw, or drafting in a guest judge.
