The 24-year old pop star is currently appearing as a judge on the BBC reality TV show ‘The Voice’, and she admits it’s especially tough because she struggles to say no to people.
Rita explained: ‘It just sucks saying no to an act. It really took some getting used to. ‘In the beginning I found it so difficult as I don’t say no to people in everyday life.’
‘I always try to please people and make them happy, even when I know I can’t do something. So it was hard for me.’
‘All the singers are talented’. ‘The Voice’ doesn’t have joke acts, these people can sing, so it’s really a case of picking out the great ones from the good ones.’
However, Rita, who stars on the show alongside Sir Tom Jones, hip-hop star will.i.am and Ricky Wilson, the lead singer of the Kaiser Chiefs, says the experience has taught her much about herself.
She told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: ‘I’ve learned a lot about myself and the other coaches have taught me a lot too.’
