Rita Ora has reportedly apologised to Olly Murs, after making a comment live on air that some Murs fans deemed 'offensive'.

The X Factor judge was celebrating mentee Louise Johnson’s win over the weekend, when she declared:

"I'm so proud of her. I've watched this show and I've been such a fan of this show.

"But there's only two people in my opinion that have made this impression – and that's Leona and Louisa.”

The show then played a clip of Olly looking hurt, something Rita clearly later picked up on.

Speaking the The Mirror, Olly- who finished second place in the 2009 X Factor, said:

"Bless Rita, she text me saying, 'I'm really sorry if I've offended you.' I knew nothing about it. I was like, 'What? What are you talking about?’

"She told me about it, and I said, 'Rita, are you serious? As if I'd get offended. I know exactly what you were trying to say. You don't need to justify it.'

"She was so apologetic, but I was like, 'Rita, I'm not even annoyed.'"

Bless em!
