Rita, 23, will replace Kylie Minogue, twice her age, after agreeing a six-figure deal with the BBC

Pop star Rita Ora has signed up as a coach on The Voice – months after rejecting a £1million offer from Simon Cowell to star on this year’s X Factor.

The singer, 23, whose hits include RIP and How We Do, has agreed a six-figure deal and BBC bosses are preparing to make the announcement.

Rita will replace Kylie Minogue, 46, after the Aussie left the panel earlier this year.
