Pop star Rita Ora is the final celeb to take the hot seat in this series.

Louis meets the 32-year-old at her dad’s pub in West London, where she talks about her rise to stardom and her family’s arrival in the UK after fleeing Kosovo in 1990.

In LA, they bump into her partner, film-maker Taika Waititi, who she is rumoured to have secretly married this summer. Then at Rita’s family home her mum Vera cooks a traditiona­l

Albanian dish and describes the hardships they faced as refugees.
