Rita Ora reveals her Christmas treat is Panettone in a can

When it comes to Christmas treats, Rita Ora has an unusual one. Revealing her love for Panettone to Hits Radio's Jordan Lee backstage at Hits Live, the 'For You' singer admitted she can't stop eating it around Christmas.

Panettone is an Italian sweet bread loaf, particularly popular at Christmas and New Year, and it seems that Rita just can't get enough of it. Telling Jordan, "It's everything, it's bread with like raisins in it, with a bit of butter. It's just in divine!"

The pop star went on to admit she loves eating anything at Christmas saying, "It's the best!"

During the chat with Jordan, Rita also told how these days she loves to give back to her parents at Christmas. Reminiscing about her childhood she said, "We all just wanted it to be a family event. So I always just remember it as family, family, family. It wasn't so much about presents and stuff."

However, now that she's a pop star, Rita said she loves to give her parents things that she could never afford before.

Rita also opened up about working with Liam Payne and how they have a great friendship. The pair worked on their amazing collab 'For You' on the Fifty Shades Freed soundtrack, and have had a great friendship ever since.

Speaking about Liam supporting her at the recent launch of her new clothing range, Rita told Jordan, "Oh I love Liam, yeah he came and supported me! Yeah we've got such a great friendship, I love him so much.

"It was nice because that was a moment. I've been working on clothes for such a long time and so we did the whole thing at Paris Fashion Week and it was really fun. My friends come out and I don't really remember the rest of the night because i was celebrating. And you know what, what happens in Paris stays in Paris is what I've been told."
