Rita Ora bares the flesh for 'Elle'...

With a new single out, Rita Ora's assault on the UK glossy front has only just begun. The 23-year-old goes topless for the UK cover of Elle’s May 2014 issue, which was shot by Thomas Whiteside. It also serves as her very first cover shoot for the magazine. 

Now, now folks. I'm sure she's a nice girl and that, but perhaps she should consider inviting Nicole Scherzinger round for tea.

Then they can use their time constructively to bond over the unlikelihood that they will ever happen. It's a shame because as pretty as they are they can sing but their music is just, fill the blank.

On discussing why this album is different to her debut one, she says:

"I didn’t know what the fuck I was doing on my first album, let’s be honest. I was a kid having the time of my life. And I made a party album – party and bullshit. This time, I’m still having a great time, but I’m in a great, loving place. Now I want people to see you can have fun and be in love at the same time."

I will wait for that Prince collaboration.
