" Jade Ewen has responded to recent comments made by Rita Ora. The Sugababes star was mocked by the &amp;#039;RIP&amp;#039; singer when asked about walking out on a Eurovision competition in 2009 as a teenager.   Ora said: &amp;quot;Imagine! If I&amp;#039;d stayed, it would probably have been all over for me. At best, I&amp;#039;d be a contestant on that diving show\u2026?&amp;#039; Splash!? Yeah, Splash! I love that show.&amp;quot; Ewen went on to win the Eurovision show Your Country Needs You! and represented the UK at the 2009 contest in Moscow. She appeared as a contestant on the ITV diving series earlier this year. The singer responded to Ora&amp;#039;s comments on Twitter, saying that she is &amp;quot;proud&amp;quot; of her achievements, while also noting that some people &amp;quot;sleep their way&amp;quot; to fame.

They started looking for me, calling my agent.&amp;quot; Rita Ora has also revealed that she has discussed a possible X Factor judging role with Simon Cowell.
