Rita Ora thinks Ariana Grande is “so cute”.

The 23-year-old R.I.P. singer is a big fan of the Break Free hitmaker, 21.

And although Ariana’s not much younger, Rita can’t help but gush over her love for the petite star.

"I love her. She's so cute,” Rita told UK newspaper The Mirror.

"I love her form many reasons," she added. "One because she could live in someone's pocket, and two she's a real girl and she works really hard.”

Rita has meanwhile been focused on her own music as of late.

The English pop star is getting ready for the release of her second record following her 2012 debut Ora.

She previously pulled her first album from being launched in the US, but said earlier this month she’s feeling more confident than ever about making her US debut.

"So my new record's coming out this year; it's my first US debut. I'm not gonna lie, I'm also a bit nervous," she told teenvogue.com in a behind-the-scenes video of her cover shoot for the publication. "I've worked with some people that I never dreamed I'd work with, [DJ and electronic musician] Major Lazer is on there, Prince is on there; it's almost like I'm bringing London to America,” she said.

The star also opened about about her split from DJ Calvin Harris earlier this year, reassuring readers going through a break-up they “will love someone else again”.

But she confessed that ideology doesn’t stop her from romanticising her future loves. And she warns others not to give her a hard time for it.

“I think it’s that people may forget I’m just a 23-year-old girl who wants to be in love,” she sighed. “And even though I live and breathe my job, I still want someone to want me. That’s how every girl feels."
