Another one bites the dust! Rita Ora's become the latest judge to quit The X Factor. She follows Cheryl and Nick Grimshaw, who left the judging panel earlier this year.
The singer's tweeted to say she "had a ball" on the show and "will miss the team."
I had a ball on @TheXFactor last year and will miss the team.

According to The Mirror, Rita has chosen to focus on her singing and acting career.
A show source said: “Rita will not be taking part in the show, 2016 is going to be all about her music and her career and that doesn’t leave enough time for The X Factor and new talent.
“It means the judging panel will really be shaken up this year but after last year’s ratings that might be no bad thing.”
Simon Cowell is the only judge left, with speculation Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh will be making a comeback. It's also reported Nicole Scherzinger, who has also previously been on the panel, could also return.
It was previously announced original host Dermot O'Leary will be back front the show, following the departure of Caroline Flack and Olly Murs.
The X factor returns later this year.
