The new series of The X Factor is to see yet more change with Rita Ora stepping down as one of the talent show's judges.

This marks the third person to leave the panel following Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw and singer Cheryl Fernandez-Versini.

Singer Ora, who announced the news via her Twitter account, will no doubt be looking to focus on her acting career which has seen her score roles in 50 Shades of Grey and Jake Gyllenhaal boxing drama Southpaw.

ITV sent Newsbeat a statement, which read: "Rita brought a great energy to the show last year and did a brilliant job mentoring the girls' category, leading Louisa [Thompson] to victory.

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

Music mogul Simon Cowell - the show's producer - is the only remaining member of the judging panel which is rumoured to be adding Robbie Williams and One Direction's Louis Tomlinson.

It was recently announced that Dermot O'Leary would return as host following a year's absence. Caroline Flack and Olly Murs took over as lead presenters for last year's series following a stint on ITV2 spin-off show, The Xtra Factor.

Ora will appear in the final two Fifty Shades films, the next of which - Fifty Shades Darker - is due out in 2017.
