As a seasoned media maven, Rita Ora has juggled music with activity across a variety of mediums – including TV.
And the British chart-topper’s latest gig sees her trade countries with none other than Nicole Scherzinger.
Full story below…
The former Pussycat Dolls star, who herself has carved out quite a career in TV and theater, is heading to the UK to star in London’s West End production of ‘Sunset Boulevard’ – helmed by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Said commitment means Scherzinger is unable to appear on season 11 of ‘The Masked Singer’s US edition, which is currently taping.
Ora, who is an anchor on the UK series, has been tapped to fill in for the entirety of the season.
The 33-year-old singer will join the judging panel of the hit Fox show alongside Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, and Robin Thicke.
Ora’s previous hosting and judging credits include ‘America’s Next Top Model,’ ‘The X Factor, ”The Voice UK’ and ‘The Voice Australia.’ She recently released her third studio album ‘You & I.’

Her head game is unmatched
How she keep getting gigs & she’s so irrelevant here 🤦🏽♂️
Kelly Rowland would have been exceptional replacer
What a wasted opportunity for Nicole, in 10 seasons you couldn’t release a song and perform it on the show!? The show is on network television, a bigger audience! Now Rita’s going to try to do that now
Thank god! Rita is way more entertaining. Nicole better go back to her PCD coz she can’t go solo💅🏾 never forget how she did other dolls dirtyyyyy
Rita does a great job hosting Masked UK but Nicole is also in her element in the US version… hope this is not another Cheryl Cole tries X Factor US moment
