Rita Ora has hinted that she left The Masked Singer to make new music.
The pop star, 34, stepped down from the judging panel of the ITV game show and was replaced by Love Island host Maya Jama.
She had appeared alongside Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross and Mo Gilligan since the competition series started in 2020.
But now, whilst plugging a haircare product, Rita has revealed that next year will be taking her back to her roots as she prepares to head go into the studio.
She wrote on Instagram: ‘What’s your 2025 plan?
‘Mines @typebea and music and being apart of the coolest films and spending time with family and friends and making the most of every moment. You?’

Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall, host Joel Dommett, Maya and Jonathan Ross will all be appearing in the next series of the hit game show
Rita’s latest album, titled You & I, was released in 2023 and she had a number of stand-ins for her on The Masked Singer while she was away.
The hit reality show sees celebrities don extravagant costumes to conceal their identity while belting out classic pop tunes.
If the juddges do not manage to correctly guess a particular contestant, they will be declared the winner.
Earlier this year, McFly star Danny Jones reigned supreme, prior to his more recent triumph on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!
Upon joining, Maya said: ‘I’m such a Masked Singer fan, so joining the panel alongside Davina, Jonathan, and Mo—and of course working with Joel—is going to be so much fun!
‘I can’t wait to figure out who’s underneath all those incredible costumes, vibe to their performances, and get front-row seats to the unmaskings.’
Maya has been the host of Love Island since 2023, and her third series aired this summer.
Joel Dommett willing be returning as the host of the hit show, which first appeared on screens in 2020 and sees celebrities sing in disguise before the guessing begins.
Since then it has reached a staggering 37 million viewers who have tuned in to guess who is hiding behind the mask.
