Rita Ora: Calvin Harris 'was the right guy at the wrong time'

Rita Ora blames her busy schedule for her split from Calvin Harris and says he ''was the right guy at the wrong time.''

The 'Black Widow' hitmaker says the Scottish DJ, who she split from in June after more than a year of dating, was ''the right guy at the wrong time,'' and admits she ''couldn't do'' another long-distance relationship.

The 23-year-old star told the December issue of Cosmopolitan magazine: ''There's only so much you can do when you don't see each other. I really admire people who have long-distance relationships. It's an incredible achievement. I couldn't do it.''

The blonde beauty and her 30-year-old ex-boyfriend became embroiled in a bitter public feud shortly after their split when he reportedly banned her from singing his song, 'I Will Never Let You Down,' at the 2014 Teen Choice Awards, but she doesn't regret their romance. She said: ''It was the right guy at the wrong time.'' She added: ''I was about to start a tour, and he was also all over the place.''

Meanwhile, the 'R.I.P' hitmaker, who is now rumoured to be dating fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger's rapper son Ricky Hil, 24, regularly tells herself she is ''f**king sexy'' in front of the mirror to boost her confidence. She said: ''You have to come to terms with loving your body. Stand naked in front of the mirror and say, 'I'm f**king sexy.' That's where it starts.''
