Title: Hot right now
Description: She's the hottest pop star in Britain, with four number one singles, a number one album. She is credited with attracting an extra four million viewers to BBC1's The Voice and is one of two new star judges on The X Factor. But who is Rita Ora? What makes her tick? What drives her to succeed? And what has she got that Simon Cowell was willing to stake the future of his prime time talent show on it? Featuring new material from the UK and her native Kosovo, charts Rita's incredible journey from her humble beginnings in Pristina to international superstardom. ... When Besnik and Vera Sahatciu gathered their two young daughters and boarded a flight from their native Kosovo for a new life in Britain never in their wildest dreams could they have imagined what lay in store. Wrapped in their arms was baby Rita, a girl her grandfather predicted would be a star when she was just a baby. The family would have to overcome refugee status, forced separation, hardship and health fears just to give Rita a start in life. But from the moment she opened her lungs to sing, it was clear she had a calling. Rita Ora - as she would become - is now one of the most recognisable faces in music, and one of the new faces on The X Factor. But, following stunning pop success, celebrated stints on TV and a blossoming movie career, international mega-stardom now beckons. Yet Rita is anything but an overnight sensation. She's had to battle and scrape for every chance she's got. She's seen her dreams shattered and her ambitions crushed. Each time she's come back stronger.
