Rita Ora - 'It takes a village to put me together'
BBC Breakfast viewers have branded Rita Ora's interview with presenter Charlie Stayt as both "flirty" and "excruciating".
Taking to Twitter during the interview on Saturday's instalment of the show, Simon Alcock teased: "Charlie's massively flirting with Rita Ora. Mate, behave yourself. She’s dropped the husband word in twice to fend him off."
Meanwhile, @Bufferb2012 said: "'None of her business', bit rude eh Charlie #bbcbreakfast?"
@TheproperKP added: "This ain't awkward at all #bbcbreakfast #ritaora." (sic)
David shared: "Excruciating watching Charlie interview Rita Ora, very odd man."

Other viewers were left distracted by Rita's extremely high-heeled leather boots she wore with a cut-out black two-piece suit.
Susan said: "Rita’s shoes I’d never be able to stand up in that #bbcbreakfast."
During the interview, Rita said "it takes a village" to do her hair and make-up as Charlie probed her about which celebrity has the biggest entourage.
Moving forward with the conversation, Rita said: "I'm so happy to be here, I love this part of the show as I feel like this is when you guys can get loose a little bit, it's not really the news, do you know what I mean?"

Charlie cheekily replied: "You come in here telling us what we can and cannot do, it's none of your business if we think this is the fun bit or not!"
She went on to discuss her latest album, called You and I, which Rita described as "more artistic than some of the other stuff I've done".
The interview took an awkward turn later on when Charlie asked if Rita had performed at Glastonbury Festival before.
The I Will Never Let You Down hitmaker replied: "I did, I performed on the Pyramid stage actually."
Charlie admitted: "You did, I should have known that," to which Rita said: "Well you weren't there."
She nervously laughed and said performing at Glastonbury in front of hundreds of thousands of people was a "real privilege" and "a dream".
Charlie later asked how Rita keeps her private life out of the public eye, with the singer explaining she has opened up about her marriage to Taika Waititi "in her own words" in her new music.
