Even with a total revamp this year, The X Factor is struggling to keep ratings up – in fact last week's results show pulled in less viewers than Antiques Roadshow in the UK.

With that in mind, we reckon ITV producers were either furious or delighted with Rita Ora's on-air gaffe on Saturday night.

After all, forgetting your contestant's name isn't exactly professional, but it's one way to drum up some extra publicity for the show.

The singer was introducing Monica Michaels for her Reinvention Week performance when she went blank, completely forgetting the contestant's name.

"Coming up next we have someone who is amazing," she confidently told the audience, before stumbling and adding, "It’s my girl… It’s my girl…"

Simon Cowell can be heard in the background saying, "Who is it? You’ve forgotten, haven’t you?" while Rita hunts for a clue in her notes.

In the end Cheryl shoots her some VERY evil eyes and mutters "It's Monica," while Rita laughs the whole thing off, saying "I'm only joking, it's Monica."

Talk about an awkward moment. Take a look below from 0:55:

Even from early on in the new series, Rita has been less than committed, pulling out of auditions due to other commitments.

Hopefully she gets her act together in time for next week.

The final twelve X Factor contestants have been put through months of gruelling auditions, trials and competitions, but now it seems the lucky dozen can live in luxury for the rest of their time on the show. 

The Mail Online exclusively revealed that this year's X Factor house is in Barnet's Beech Hill, North London and costs a cool £7m (€9m) to buy or £20,000 (€27,000) to rent each month.

It comes complete with a cinema room, an indoor swimming pool and a steam room as well as a state-of-the-art car lift (OK, then?). 

The seven-bedroom detached property is in one of London's most prestigious streets and described by estate agents as a 'premier road', where homes are entered via high electric gates.

The gates open up into a large driveway where cars can collect contestants and take them to the show's nearby studio.

The unveiling of the property comes after X Factor judges Simon, Cherly, Rita and Nick chose their final three acts for the live rounds of the show. 

Judge Nick Grimshaw selected Mason Noise, Che Chesterman and Seann Miley Moore as his final three Boys, while Rita Ora announced Louisa Johnson, Lauren Murray and Keira Weathers as her Girls.

Cheryl Fernandez Versini has 4th Impact, Alien Uncovered, and Reggie n Bollie as her Groups.

Simon Cowell has Max Stone, Bupsi and Anton Stephans in his Overs category.

The family wedding – where even the most relaxed of brides lives in fear of being outshone by a hot cousin in a dangerously low dress.

So understandably, we really feel for Rita Ora’s kin: because walking down the aisle watched by a superstar singer AND a reigning X Factor judge has got to be tough.

Not least when she’s wearing a plunging red satin dress.

Yes, Rita looked at sorts of incredible attending the wedding of her cousin Filiz Salihu to Arlit Kastrati in the Kosovo capital of Pristina earlier this month.

As well as that dress, she had her long, blonde hair styled in soft waves and piled on eye-catching accessories, including a €6,000 gold Juste Un Clou bracelet by Cartier.

Overall, it was clearly a seriously stylish affair too, with guests donning a range of floor-length and black-tie attire.

And undeniably, bride Arlit looked stunning herself: she wore a full-skirted white dress with metallic beading detail.

The lace-adorned bodice furthermore left her back exposed, and she completed her bridel look with a tiara amid her blonde hair.

Now in the midst of X Factor filming, 24-year-old Ms Ora also shared a gorgeous black-and-white snap on Instagram from the evening, captioning it “the wedding was surreal”.

Having just recently launched another Rita Ora X Addidas collection, she was in Hong Kong late last week, but jetted back into London on Saturday in time for the reality TV talent show.

There, she lines up alongside Cheryl Fernandez Versini, Nick Grimshaw and, of course, Simon Cowell. This year, Ms Ora has been assigned the Girls group. 

She recently took them to Los Angeles for the judges' houses segment of the show, which will be broadcast next weekend.

Rita Ora  is seen suffering from a serious bout of anxiety on tonight's X Factor.

The singer, 24, is the first to be faced with the new Six Chair Challenge – in which she must whittle down her Girls from 16 to six – alongside her fellow judges Simon Cowell, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Nick Grimshaw.

But Rita visibly struggles making her choice between two contestants, as the audience reacts aggressively.

"The crowd is crazy out there. I think I'm having a mini panic attack. Oh my God! I feel so sick."

The audience then begin to boo and mock her for not making a choice, to which she tearfully says: "I can't do it. I actually can't do it."

She then goes on to say, "It's getting definitely intense. I'm probably the most hated person in the UK right now. It's so unfair. This is the hardest thing in the world – they hate me right now."

Rita is then seen falling out with main judge Simon, calling him "rude" as they fight about the contestants. 

With this amount of drama, tonight's episode will not want to be missed!

The Blink 182 drummer has opened about their relationship after a photograph of the pair shared on social media sparked massive speculation about their romance.

The rocker told E! News: "We actually share a lot of the same tastes in music. Little did I know, she likes punk rock a lot, I love that. I was raised on it, you know."

Travis split from his wife Shanna Moakler in 2009 after five years of marriage. The pair have two children together, Landon, 11, and Alabama, 9.

A representative for Travis has apparently told TMZ that the pair are an item despite only meeting in LA two weeks ago.

The Mirror reports a source saying, "Rita sought him out and gave him her info. They have been together every day since."

Travis also told E! that both he and Rita, 24, are huge fans of Halloween, so does this mean they might be going the matching route when it comes to costumes?

The 39-year old seemed pretty excited about the prospect when he told reporters, “Possibly, yeah!"

Travis previously dated a UFC ring girl, Arianna Celeste after he and Shanna’s highly publicized divorce.

Meanwhile, Rita has been sparking plenty of rumours about her love life since she and Ricky Hilfiger, son of Tommy, broke up in July.

They had been together for a year.

She is the petite popstar known for her racy on-stage attire and love of dresses that leave little to the imagination.

Which is why we were somewhere taken aback to hear that Rita Ora is supposedly concerned that her face is getting fat (her face is definitely NOT fat).

However, it seems that – if recent reports are to be believed – the 24-year-old’s complaints relate not to her actual face.

Instead, she is referring to a tattoo in her likeness emblazoned on her ex Rob Kardashian’s chest.

Of course, Mr Kardashian’s on-going battles with his weight have been well-documented. He quit his family’s mega-hit reality TV show in 2013 and has rarely been seen in public since.

It has been suggested that he previously tipped the scales at 135kg (300lbs) – although he seems to have slimmed down in recent months too.

Ms Ora and Rob, 28, dated more than three years ago. And although their union lasted just a year (she said they broke up because she was too busy focusing on her career) it seems that he was totally smitten during their time together.

And now Mirror.co.uk reports that the singer is less than sympathetic to her former flame’s current struggles to stay slim and healthy.

The website quotes a source who revealed: “Rita was with friends when Rob’s weight was brought up but she was more concerned about the tattoo.

“She was joking about how stretched it must look. Everyone was grossed out.

“She hasn’t spoken to him in ages, so she doesn’t know if he got it removed.”

Taking the plunge after just six months of dating, it is believed that the black-and-white portrait of the English popstar remains on Mr Kardashian’s torso – although with the help of his tattoo artist, he does have plans to have the image altered in the future.

The inking shows Ms Ora in a black bustier top and boyfriend jeans, with her blonde hair in tight curls – a snapshot taken from a shoot she did shortly before the pair began seeing each other.

New York Fashion Week closed with a majorly star-studded fashion party last night. 

Models, movie stars, and street style stars alike gathered at Harpers Bazaar Icons party for a night full of drinking, dancing, and, oh yeah – fabulous outfits. 

Everyone took the night's black tie code very seriously, but as always there were a few fashion disasters in the crowd. 

From embellishment and lace, crystals and cutouts, here are the best and worst dressed stars from the night. 

Katy Perry – hit

Katy Perry stunned wearing Saint Laurent. We are also digging her new red do'. 

 

Gigi Hadid – hit

Gigi wore a highly anticipated H&M x Balmain dress and pulled it off effortlessly. 

 

Mariah Carey – miss

We're not sure about this one Mariah, it's a bit too mum-sy for us and kind of looks like a child's room that's full of glow-in-the-dark star stickers.

 

Allesandra Ambrosio – undecided

Yes, she is stunning and WOW, her body – but we think this showed a bit too much for last nights event. It kind of looks like a swimsuit, don't you agree? 

 

Suki Waterhouse – hit

We LOVE what Suki wore last night. Grecian Goddess eat your heart out. 

 

Kendall Jenner – miss

We think Kendall looks a bit drab and boring here. She could have dressed A LOT better for this high-profile event.

 

Kate Upton – hit

Even though her chest looked a tiny bit squashed in this number she still rocked the sultry, sexy look.

 

Bella Hadid – hit

We love this black Kaufmanfranco number on Bella. Opposite to Suki Waterhouse, we're getting a dark Grecian Goddess vibe.

 

Alex Pettyfer and Marloes Horst – hit

Hot couple goals! We love Marloes dreamy dress and Alex looks just as good in his black tux. 

 

Jaden Smith – miss

Go home Jaden. He looks a little lost in the ultra-glam crowd. We're sure his clothes cost a bomb, but really, he could of at least worn a shirt.

 

Rita Ora – undecided

We love it because it's Prada, but otherwise, we're not so sure.

 

Rachel Zoe – undecided

Don't get us wrong, we love Rachel Zoe's effortlessly cool style. On the one hand she looks very slick in the trend-setting fringe number; but on the other hand, it kind of reminds us of a disco ball.

It seems there is a lot of fighting on the X Factor this year – and this time it's between the judges. 

New X Factor judge Nick Grimshaw has ridiculed Rita Ora's judging on the reality TV show, even though they're meant to be BFFs. 

Harsh Nick. 

The 31 year-old has been seen mocking the singer for her frequent misuse of clichés on the show. 

Her latest blunder saw the 24 year-old claim it's impossible to "read a book by its cover" while critiquing an act. 

Nick said: "''Last night (sunday), this one really took the biscuit. Read a book by its cover? That's not right – it's judge a book by its cover. She gets her analogies just a little bit confused.''

The BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show host said that there is more unfortunate misquotes to come. 

''It's yet to come on the show but I remember in the auditions (when she said) 'I feel like a fish that has jumped out of the water and has been run over.'"

''I said, 'Do you mean a fish out of water?'"

And Nick isn't the only one blasting Rita on the show, as she has been slammed by insiders as having "nothing useful to say", reports the Irish Mirror. 

Even viewers of the show agree as she appears to be making a lot of slip ups, including asking if Newcastle is in Britain. 

One viewer wrote on Twitter: "no way did rita ora ask if newcastle was part of england, I'm losing the will to live"

While another added: "rita ora just asked whether Newcastle was a British place… NO ONE CAN BE THIS STUPID I'M SORRY"

It seems that there will be a lot of back-and-forward bickering to come on the show, but back with the judges, Rita isn't the only one Nick is having problems with. 

He has also ridiculed Cheryl for her inappropriate use of the word "literally". 

''I like it when Cheryl says literally, but then what she says isn't literally."

"Like she says, 'You literally blew the roof off Wembley.' But they didn't blow the roof off Wembley. did they? Or, 'You literally blew me away.' 'But they didn't really blow you away Cheryl.''

It seems like there might be more action with the judges this year than the contestants!

As the unveiling of any totally OTT festive perfume confirms – fragrance trends are big business.

Yup, everything from your eyebrows to your Saint Laurent snake-effect leather ankle boots can be on fleek but it won’t mean a tap if you also don’t smell right.

At least your jewellery can help out; sweet-smelling accessories are now very much a thing.

Leading the pack is most definitely David Yurman – which has just released its Bubblegum Pinky Collection: a series of oh-so cool rings complete with a choice of bubblegum, grape, peppermint, licorice, or candy floss aromas. 

It already has a load of celeb fans – including Rita Ora, who just weeks ago was gushing about the range on social media – and stylists are clamouring over one another to get their hands on one of the pieces.

 

Obsessed with these #bubblegumpinky rings! Thank you @davidyurman

But it's not just David Yurman. Fellow designers such as Kilian Hennessy (a Frenchman with distinctly Irish roots – he’s part of the Hennessy cognac dynasty) are driving the trend into 2016 too.

Kilian, who launched his perfume house in 2007, recently introduced an art deco Lights And Reflections collection. Included are chunky rings that contain subtle ceramic cubes ready to be sprayed with any of his signature 35 scents.

Jade Trau (Cara Delevingne is a big fan) has created an oversized locket ring fitted with solid perfume inside, and last year, new brand OBO Paris launched its “wearable and leak-proof bottle of perfume,” – 3mls of fragrance to carry around with you in one of its rings, bracelets or necklaces.

It's pretty AND it's filled with solid perfume to help navigate the lovely odors of steamy hot NYC days ohhhh…gotta…

Posted by Jade Trau on Wednesday, 8 July 2015

 

The Parisian designer behind the brand, 30-year-old Julien Cohen, said at the time of the unveiling that he “wanted to make a beautiful accessory that can perfume your skin”.

Meanwhile, Lisa Hoffman, wife of actor Dustin, has also released fragrance within jewellery via her Lisa Hoffman Beauty brand.

And rather than apply fragrance directly to your skin, this range – which counts Amber Heard and Halle Berry among its many Hollywood fans – instead uses tiny fragrance beads which are housed inside charms. 

“Our fragrance beads are eco-friendly and made from the highest standard of pure perfume,” she says on her website.

“Each piece of jewellery comes with refillable fragrance beads so you can easily refresh the scent in your charm.”

It’s all about to get seriously emotional on Sunday night’s X Factor – which begins at 8pm.

Yes, in the second instalment of the reality TV show’s inaugural weekend for 2015, Cheryl Fernandez Versini AND Simon Cowell both end up in tears… at the same time.

Josh Daniels’s version of Jealous by Labrinth evidently proved incredibly moving – especially as the contestant dedicated his performance to his best friend who died at the age of 18.

At the time of the audition, Mr Cowell was still freshly grieving for his own mother: Julie died aged 89 in London in early July.

Daniel can be seen tonight telling the judges: “I lost my best friend a couple of years ago.

“We were really, really close, we did everything together. He’s moved on to a better place and I can’t be with him.

“I’m jealous that he’s happy in heaven.”

Then, as his performance progresses, Simon can be seen wiping a tear from his eye. The rest of the judges (Rita Ora and Nick Grimshaw as well as Cheryl) eventually give the X Factor hopeful a standing ovation, although Simon remains far too emotional to speak.

Meanwhile, and despite a publicity push, several overhauls, and a rake of new faces in front of cameras, Saturday night’s opening episode last night failed to impress when compared to other series.

Now in its 12th series, it managed to tempt a total of 7.6million viewers to watch, but even last year that figure stood at close-to 9million.

At the height of X Factor mania in 2011, around 11 to 12million people were hooked weekly.

As we all know The X Factor has undergone a MAJOR transformation this year – full of new judges and new presenters (not to mention no Louis Walsh). 

But boss-man Simon Cowell has given the newbies a huge warning, telling them they're going to have to work hard in order to maintain their part on the reality TV show. 

Earlier this year, we saw (random, we know) Nick Grimshaw, 31, and Rita Ora, 24, replace judges Louis Walsh and Mel B – with Cheryl, 32, also returning to the show. 

But The Daily Star reported during the week that Simon Cowell will ask Louis Walsh back on to the judging panel in a flash if Rita and Nick fail to impress. 

We don't blame Simon either: Strictly Come Dancing consistently beat The X Factor in TV ratings last year – and it already seems unlikely the latter will be able to turn that around in 2015.

Still, Simon, 55, wants the show to be as controversial as it can be in order to get the series back on top of its game. 

“If they’re not talking about you then you’ve got a problem," he also told The Star. "I think it’s a good thing. I think we’re lucky"

“When you have the opportunity to make a couple of shows like ours then there’s more fun than problems".

We can't wait to see all the drama in store!

We're frankly pretty disappointed that Louis Walsh hasn't been included in this year's X Factor line-up… because for 2015, all the judges have been allocated an emoji – and we would have LOVED to have seen the Mayoman as a cartoon smiley.

Never mind, we nevertheless reckon the rest of them – Nick, Rita, Cheryl and, of course, Simon – look rather fetching.

The emojis are all part of the newly-spruced up show's attempts to win back viewers, and it has now been revealed that at-home audiences will also get to decide which judge takes on which category.

Girls, Boys, Groups, and Unders; the judges never want the latter two and Simon usually takes the most promising bunch for himself anyway.

Not this time around, however: with the first airing of the 12th series going out on Saturday, people will be able to vote to determine who gets what using Twitter hashtags.

Now this is a twist we really like – but will you be watching this year?
