Rita Ora kept forgetting Fifty Shades of Grey lines

Rita Ora admits she had to have someone saying her lines through an earpiece because she kept forgetting her words.

Rita Ora kept forgetting her lines whilst filming her scenes in 'Fifty Shades of Grey.'

The 23-year-old singer - who landed the role of Mia Grey in the erotic drama
- had someone feeding her script to her through an earpiece because nerves got the better of her and she couldn't remember her words.

Speaking to 'Access Hollywood', she said: "I had to have someone in my ear on set telling me what to say before I said it because I was honestly like so nervous I forgot everything that I had learnt."

However, the blonde beauty credits her co-star Dakota Johnson - who plays the leading lady Anastasia Steele - for helping her get over her first-time acting fears.

She explained: "She's [Dakota is] a great friend of mine and she really eased me, and she was really nice to take care of me."

Meanwhile, the 'RIP' hitmaker - who has read all three novels by E. L. James - feels incredibly proud to have been chosen to take part in the movie adaptation, which is being directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson.

She said: "The movie is as visually close as it can be [to the book]. I think the actors are phenomenal in this and I'm just kind of honoured to be on the same wavelength as them.

"This being my first movie, it's pretty awesome."

James, the 51-year-old writer told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "She [Rita] is incredibly sexy and has this amazing charisma about her.
The writer - who has also penned follow-up books 'Fifty Shades Freed' and 'Fifty Shades Darker' - hopes Ora will go on to have a successful acting career in addition to her music following her role in the film.

LOVER'S REVENGE
Rita's music career is however experiencing an obstacle as her ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris is giving away the songs he wrote for her to Alexis Jordan.

Although Calvin was working on Rita's upcoming album while they were together, he has reportedly offered tunes he wrote for her to the 22-year-old singer who is hoping to re-launch her career three years after her debut single 'Happiness'.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Alexis has an amazing voice that works really well with house music, she's a fan of the genre and hoping to put new material out soon."

This is more bad news for Rita, 23, who recorded a number of songs with her former beau - including hit single 'I Will Never Let You Down' before Calvin, 30, insisted she cannot release any more of the tunes they made together.

A source previously said: "Rita's album has hit a bit of a road block after Calvin pulled all the songs he had worked on for the project before they split.

"He'd made a lot of songs for her but they're now likely to go to other artists."

It's been reported that the pair made at least a dozen tracks together, which were to represent the bulk of the eagerly-awaited record.

The source added: "Calvin wants a clean break, personally and professionally. He's already given her one massive hit so doesn't feel her owes her.
