Rita Ora leaves Big Breakfast viewers cringing with terrible fruit gaffe

Rita Ora was one of the big names stars booked to appear on the revamped Big Breakfast today, and managed to catch viewers' attention for a hilarious reason.

The Poision singer, 31, featured on the show on Saturday appearing virtually with DJ Netsky to promote their new single Barricades.

Rita tuned in to the show from her location at 3am where she was asked what snacks she tends to hide under her desk during The Masked Singer.

The pop star then plucked an 'apple' from her fruit bowl before bringing it close to the camera and commenting on how 'dusty' it looked.

However, host of the show AJ Odudu had to put the singer out of her misery by saying: "I’m sorry to break it to you – that’s a peach, not an apple."

Rita the went on to stare at the fruit, showing how confused she really was at the revelation.

Fellow Masked Singer judge Mo Gilligan, who also hosts The Big Breakfast, then chimed in: "Rita is obviously a lady who doesn’t go to the supermarket."

Fans took to Twitter to talk about Rita's funny blip: "Bless her @RitaOra not knowing the difference between an apple and a peach #haha #what #noway #bigbreakfast"

As another wrote: "Screaming at @ritaora mistaking a peach for a ‘dusty apple’" and third added: "Rita Ora thinking a peach was a 'dusty apple'. She lives on her own planet. I love her."

The interview comes as rumours arose that Rita had tied the knot with long term boyfriend Taika Waititi.

There had been speculation that the couple had tied the knot in a secret ceremony but it looks as though the rumours have finally been confirmed.

Celeb hairstylist James Brown congratulated the pair on his Instagram Stories where he called Rita 'Mrs Waititi Ora'.

James posted a picture of himself alongside the 31-year-old singer and captioned it: "Congratulations Mrs Waititi Ora." He tagged the pair before added: "Love you," with a love heart emoji.

It was revealed on Monday that the singer had said I Do to the director, 46, in an intimate ceremony in London.

It's thought Rita has changed her name to be Mrs Waititi-Ora and the pair have also been pictured wearing gold bands on their fingers as they held hands.

The pair first got together in March 2021 before going public in the following August.

Taika got down on one knee just two months ago and the couple have not had long to organise their special day.

It's rumoured that they could now be planning a big party to celebrate their nuptials.

Speaking to The Sun, a source said: "It was a really intimate ceremony and super special for everyone there. Their nearest and dearest can see how madly in love they are. Despite living in the spotlight, Rita is determined to keep the relationship as private as possible and didn't want to make a big song and dance about the wedding."
