Rita Ora has admitted that working with her boyfriend Calvin Harris made her "nervous".The 23-year-old produced her latest single I Will Never Let You Down — which she described as a "love song you can dance to" — with the legendary Scottish DJ.
Speaking to BBC Radio 1 host Nick Grimshaw, Rita laughed, saying she found it hard to concentrate with her beau in the studio.

"It's about having fun and because I take everything so seriously, I'm always a bit like work, work. He's like, 'you really need to just enjoy it.' And I agree, so I'm just enjoying it right now. And I'm happy we kind of did it together. It's a nice little feeling for me, it makes it personal."

The lovebirds put on a public display of affection, cuddling up on the red carpet and gazing into each other's eyes.
Rita fuelled speculation that she and Calvin were no longer an item when she posted a cryptic image on Instagram, writing, "Have you ever wondered which hurts the most: Saying something & not wishing you had not, or saying nothing and wishing you had?"
