Rita Ora in ‘advanced talks to host MTV Europe Music Awards’ when it returns to the UK next month after last year’s cancelled show

By Kirsten Murray For Mailonline

Rita Ora is reportedly set to host the MTV Europe Music Awards when they return to the UK next month. 

The Hot Right Now hitmaker is said to be in advanced talks to present the ceremony which will be held at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena on November 10. 

While the star recently went separate ways from her long term manager and head of First Access Entertainment Sarah Stennett, she is already looking forward to new projects.  

A source told The Sun: ‘Rita couldn’t be more excited. She is spinning a lot of plates at the moment but her first love will always be music, which is why when she was asked to present the ceremony, she jumped at the chance.

‘Talks between MTV and Rita’s new management are ongoing and they’re just ironing out the finer details.

‘The ceremony is taking place on November 10 so there isn’t much time to spare, but Rita is up for it.’ 

And it won’t be the first time Rita has taken on hosting duties after she presented at the prestigious night of music when it was last held in the UK for the 2017 ceremony at Wembley Arena.

This year will see the MTV EMAs return after they were cancelled last year in Paris due to security fears and ‘the state of the world’ amid the war between Israel and Hamas.

MailOnline have contacted Rita’s representatives for comment.  

The news comes after it was revealed Rita has been replaced by Maya Jama on the hit ITV show The Masked Singer. 

Last month fans of the show shared a huge issue with the new judging panel after it was revealed the Love Island host, 30, is set to take over from the hitmaker for the new series of the ITV show, alongside Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall and Mo Gilligan.

However, some viewers have shared one concern with Maya’s hiring, noting that she doesn’t have the same singing expertise that Rita brought to the panel.

One user posted on Reddit: ‘I still don’t think this was the right choice, but what you gonna do. Should have been a singer or someone with musical experience.’

A source revealed: ‘Talks between MTV and Rita’s new management are ongoing and they’re just ironing out the finer details’ (pictured with her husband Taika Waititi at the MTV EMAs in 2022 in Germany)

Posts on Instagram included: ‘Well this is a shambles, they should have at least one singer on here;

‘So on a singing show, there isn’t a single judge that’s a singer?’

‘While I don’t mind it, adding Maya for Rita makes all the panelists brings main presenter vibes, least Rita made it varied.’ 

However, one user hit back, insisting that singing experience isn’t necessary to appear on The Masked Singer.

They said: ‘Everyone stressing… this isn’t a singing competition!!!! It’s about guessing who the person singing is – RELAX…’
