Rita Ora Replacing Tyra Banks on ANTM

Ora is quite the reality TV machine.
From the X-Factor to The Voice, Ora is becoming more and more associated with reality TV as opposed to her music career. She is continuing on in that vein as it is confirmed that the 'Body On Me' singer will replace original host Tyra Banks as America's Next Top Model moves over to VH1.
The 25 year-old commented on the news on USA Today; "The approach I wanted to have as a host and judge to the girls is what my career stands for at this moment in time, which is being a businesswoman and being able to do multiple things at the same time, whether it's music or shooting [magazine covers] and being in movies and designing clothes."
However delighted with the prospect Ora is, fans of the show are most certainly not. Hundreds have taken to Twitter to vent their frustration at Bank's replacement.

Joining Ora on the panel will be plus-sized model Ashley Graham, Law Roach, and Paper magazine's Drew Elliott. The series reboot will consist of 14 episodes. Banks will continue to act as exec-producer and make a few cameo appearances on the show. VH1 president Chris McCarthy is pretty optimistic about Ora's prospects, insisting that she is not a 'Tyra replacement' but instead a way to "infuse that panel with style fashion and pop culture experts".
If Rita Ora has the ability to throw this kind of tantrum, we will happily tune in...
