Rita Ora puts on an energetic performance in tight red skirt and paint-splattered jacket as she hits the stage after a successful first week on X Factor
All her acts survived the first round of elimination in the X Factor live shows.
And after a successful night, there was no stopping Rita Ora as she took to the stage at London’s Roundhouse alongside Sigma on Sunday evening.
Looking stylish as ever, the new judge stood out in a rather quirky ensemble, consisting of a cropped, denim jacket that was splattered in paint and a red crocodile-skin mini-skirt.

Moments later, she took to her social media sites to share a snapshot of her first live X Factor show, confessing her excitement working alongside fellow judge and close pal Nick Grimshaw.

Meanwhile, it was sad night for Simon Cowell and fellow judge Cheryl Fernandez-Versini as Bupsi Brown and Alien Uncovered became the first acts to leave The X Factor.
It was announced on Sunday’s results show that two acts would be axed from the ITV competition in a shock twist, with the singer with the fewest number of public votes leaving with immediate effect.

Show boss Simon’s exuberant hopeful Bupsi took the news on the chin when she was voted off first, leaving girl band Alien Uncovered and vocal powerhouse Kiera Weathers to battle it out in the Bottom Two sing-off.
Bupsi cheerfully told the crowd: 'It's been a great experience. I've had an amazing time and it's been a great opportunity to show myself and put myself out there. I hope you guys enjoyed my Bupsi magic!'
Alien Uncovered were the first to sing for survival and the six-piece were determined not to fall foul of the Groups' first week curse, putting on a lively performance.

Kiera then took the tempo down a notch with a powerful version of R.E.M’s Everybody Hurts, looking as though she fully expected to be sent packing.
Cheryl naturally opted to save her group, saying, ‘My loyalty and love is obviously with Alien Uncovered’, while Rita Ora stayed true to her act Kiera, declaring, ‘It’s only the start for Kiera, and there’s so much you can do.’
‘Those performances really changed my opinion,' explained Nick. 'I loved that Keira, so I’m going to have to send Alien home.’
Simon was left with the deciding vote and took his time delivering his verdict – but embarrassingly got the girl band’s name wrong in the process.

‘I’m going to have to judge it on the sing off, there is an obvious person who was better tonight. Even though I’m unhappy with this decision, the artist I’m going to send home is Alien Nation', he declared.
The girls enthused, ‘It’s been an amazing experience. Thank you so much Cheryl for getting our swag. We will be back!’
Little Mix were also back on the stage that first made them a household name, making history in 2011 by becoming the first group to ever win the show.
The girls proved they definitely deserved the title by showcasing their amazing vocals as they belted out new single, Love Me Like You.
The fab four – Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall – brought their music video’s prom theme to life, donning pretty evening dresses for their performance.
