British singer Rita Ora received some expert help during the recording of her new album - pop icon Prince joined her in the studio.

The R.I.P. hitmaker has spent the year working on the follow-up to her debut record Ora, and it is now almost ready for release.

She has let slip that she worked with one of her idols, Prince, during the recording, and insists sharing a studio with the Purple Rain singer was the ultimate honour.

Ora tells Britain's The Sun, "I have met him (Prince) and I have had the honour of being in the same studio with him. We messed around with some music together and you know, I can't believe he can play so many instruments. All I can say is we've definitely done some music together."
