Rita Ora has revealed that she feels "broody" after meeting Simon Cowell's 18-month-old son Eric.

The Poison hitmaker said that her "motherly instinct" has kicked in since meeting Cowell's baby on the set of The X Factor.

She said: "I've met baby Eric. He is like mini Simon, he's the cutest thing. Being around him definitely makes me broody.

"I have that motherly instinct, so when I see babies, I'm like, 'Aww, I want one'."

The 24-year-old singer, who split from boyfriend Ricky Hilfiger last month, said that although she flirts with guys on The X Factor, she would never go any further with the contestants.

Ora added to The Sun's TV magazine: "Sometimes I tease the boys who audition because it breaks the ice, but that's as far as it would go.

"I am a judge, so it's all about finding talent. Even with a female contestant, I'll be the first to tell her she's gorgeous. I like giving compliments.

"The talent I have witnessed this year is out of control. I think we have found the next big superstar. There are a handful of people I feel really strongly about."
