Rita Ora has revealed that she was groomed by a 26-year-old man when she was just 14.
The X Factor judge claimed she started dating an older man when she was a student at London’s Sylvia Young Theatre School – and it was a real confidence boost.
She said: ‘I was almost obsessed with having a man feel like he wants me.
‘It made me feel great and I didn’t care what he did or how old he was. I wanted it. It’s crazy.’

She added: ‘It’s child abuse, really, isn’t it?’
But the singer, who made the revelation in her new biography Hot Right Now, insisted she wasn’t a victim.
She explained: ‘I don’t want to say that I suffered it, because I wanted it. I don’t want to say that I was forced to do it.
‘I don’t want people to think I was abused as a kid but I was definitely more mature than I should have been at 14.’

Extracts from the book were published in today’s The Sun on Sunday.
Ora revealed that it was her ‘first relationship with a guy’.

She said: ‘I was very new to the whole world of a man and a female. It’s strange how, once it starts, you kind of feel you can take over the world.
‘Even to this day if someone fancied me I’d feel so great.’
