'X Factor' an amazing opportunity: Rita Ora

London: Singer Rita Ora has described her new role on "The X Factor" as an "amazing opportunity".

The "I Will Never Let You Down" hitmaker has signed up to be a judge on the new series of ITV's singing competition, alongside friend and fellow newcomer Nick Grimshaw, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Simon Cowell, reported Digital Spy.

"I'm taking every day as it comes. It's an amazing opportunity and a great thing for me time-wise. I love finding new talent and if I can help find it, I'd love to," she said.
Ora served as a coach on the most recent series of "The Voice UK", but Simon Cowell was impressed by her when she appeared as a guest judge on "The X Factor" a few years ago.

Cowell has admitted that this year's series is make or break for the long-running show, which will also have new hosts in Caroline Flack and Olly Murs.

Rochelle Humes and Melvin Odoom are replacing Sarah-Jane Crawford as "Xtra Factor" hosts.
