So, Rita Ora has dropped one giant ol’ Twitter bombshell this morning

Rita Ora has had one seriously dramatic fortnight, and it doesn't look like the press attention is going to calm down any time soon especially if her latest tweet is anything to go by!

Just weeks after the British star was forced to confirm she had nothing to do with Beyoncé and Jay Z's reported relationship trouble, the 25-year old singer has announced she will be stepping down as judge on The X Factor.

In a bombshell tweet, the How We Do singer revealed that her time on the long-running talent show had come to an end, tweeting: "I had a ball on @TheXFactor last year and will miss the team."

I had a ball on @TheXFactor last year and will miss the team.

The news comes after the shock exit of fellow X Factor heavy-hitters including Cheryl, Nick Grimshaw, Olly Murs and Caroline Flack, and will undoubtedly send the rumour mill into overdrive as the public grapple to understand why Rita has decided to say her goodbyes after winning last year's show.

Putting rumours of a rift with Simon Cowell to bed, the singer continued: "@simoncowell can't wait to work with you again… I'll be round for dinner soon. Thank you for the experience & love X.'

Fans of the former judge wasted no time lamenting her surprise departure, with one writing: "Gutted you are leaving you were such a good judge and will be a big miss on this year's show."

Hmmm…what next for Miss. Ora?!
