Rita Ora can't choose between X Factor and The Voice

ita Ora can\'t choose between \'X Factor\' and \'The Voice\'.

The 27-year-old singer has worked as a coach on \'The Voice UK\' and a judge on \'The X Factor\' and when asked by an aspiring singer which one she would recommend, Rita admitted she was torn.

Writing in The Guardian\'s advice column, she said: "Oh God! I\'ve had the privilege of working on both. I love them equally. My heart would say \'The Voice\' but my head would say \'The X Factor\'. It\'s important to remember that, although they\'re great platforms, you don\'t need to go on a show to become a pop star. You can graft and do it the old-school way. If you have a dream, then 100 per cent go for it. You\'re probably going to be hurt a lot of times, like I have been, like every pop star in the industry has been. You have to have very thick skin. Richard Branson said: \'You can\'t have a Plan B.\' If you\'re gonna do something, you have to really commit."

Rita previously quit \'The Voice UK\' in 2015 in order to join the judging panel of \'The X Factor\' and she went on to win the show with her act Louisa Johnson.

However, she quit after just one series, tweeting: "I had a ball on @TheXFactor last year and will miss the team.

"@simoncowell can\'t wait to work with you again... I\'ll be round for dinner soon. Thank you for the experience & love X (sic)."

\'X Factor\' producers added: "Rita brought a great energy to the show last year and did a brilliant job mentoring the girls\' category, leading Louisa to victory.

"We wish her all the best with her music and film plans for the rest of the year."
