Nick Grimshaw has mocked Rita Ora's judging skills on 'The X Factor'.
The 31-year-old presenter is good friends with Rita but has ridiculed her for her frequent misuse of clichés on the show, the latest of which saw the 24-year-old pop beauty claim it's impossible to "read a book by its cover" while critiquing an act.
He quipped: "Last night, this one really took the biscuit. Read a book by its cover? That's not right - it's judge a book by its cover. She gets her analogies just a little bit confused."
And Nick - who is also joined by Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Simon Cowell on this year's judging panel - has revealed there are more unfortunate misquotes to come from the 'Hot Right Now' hitmaker.
Speaking on his BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show, he said: "It's yet to come on the show but I remember in the auditions (when she said) 'I feel like a fish that has jumped out of the water and has been run over.'
"I said, 'Do you mean a fish out of water?'
"What a woman. Always manages to get them confused. But you know what? You can never read a book through its cover."
Nick also ridiculed Cheryl's inappropriate and frequent use of the word "literally" when commenting on the pop hopefuls.
He shared: "I like it when Cheryl says literally, but then what she says isn't literally. Like she says, 'You literally blew the roof off Wembley.' But they didn't blow the roof off Wembley. did they? Or, 'You literally blew me away.' 'But they didn't really blow you away Cheryl."
Nick and Cheryl had planned to watch 'The X Factor' together on Saturday night (12.09.15), but Nick revealed the 32-year-old beauty "literally" cancelled on him.
He explained: "Cheryl was meant to come to my house to watch it on Saturday night but she didn't come. She literally blew me off."

Myleene Klass was bitten more than 73 times by insects while filming for the new show 'Singing In The Rainforest.'
The 37-year-old star, who came second on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' in 2006, was left disorientated after she was attacked by creepy crawlies while recording a track with a tribe called the Ulithians on the remote island of Mogmog in Micronesia for the new television series.
She told The Sun newspaper: "Every morning the children of the island would count my bites. We got up to 73.
"If you're trying to write a piece of music, it's very hard if you're disorientated, completely out of your comfort zone and have 73 bites on you."
She added: "Between takes I'd just lie in the sea and the children just stared at my bites."
But it wasn't just the insects bothering Myleene, who was six flights and two boat rides away from the UK, as exhaustion also set in and she became a "sobbing wreck" on a piano.
She explained: "I had no sleep. I slept on a beach for two hours, then cried all over the chief."
However, as time went on, the former Hear'Say singer bonded with the tribe and even moved some of them to tears when they first heard her play on the piano.
She said of their response: "Clapping is universal and there were even tears of joy. It was a huge relief all around. I ended up giving piano lessons to half the island's children."
'Singing In The Rainforest', which sees celebrities record music with the tribe, will air tonight (14.09.15) at 9pm.

Lucy Fallon gets "a bit scared" working with Sean Ward.
The 'Coronation Street' actress - who plays troubled teen Bethany Platt - has had some intense scenes with her co-star, who plays bad boy Callum Logan, and was even left hurt while shooting footage where he pushed her up against a wall.
She said: "It was actually quite scary. At one point I hit my head which hurt a bit.
"Sean really prepares himself for the scene and gets himself all angry, so I was genuinely a bit scared. I really enjoy working with him though."
Lucy will take a role in the soap's forthcoming live episode and admitted she is feeling very nervous.
She said: "I'm really excited but I'm nervous too. It's overwhelming, I keep telling myself it's going to be fine.
"I'm just going to try not to think about it too much because if I stress about it it'll freak me out."
Despite her nerves, Lucy was given the opportunity to opt out of being in the episode, but knew her mum would be disappointed if she did.
She told OK! magazine: "We were given a choice of whether we wanted to be in it, but I never would have said no.
"Plus my mum would have shouted at me! She's a huge 'Corrie' fan. If you look on her TV planner, it's full of rows and rows of episodes."

Gemma Oaten believes fame can be a "scary thing" in a relationship.
The former 'Emmerdale' actress - whose ex-boyfriend Andy Barnes ended their relationship "out of nowhere" earlier this year as it was reported he was struggling to cope with her life in the limelight - has admitted she thinks her fame can make it more difficult to sustain a relationship.
Asked if she thinks men are intimidated by her fame, Gemma exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I think any kind of fame can do that. Success can be a scary thing for the person who's successful and also for the person outside of it."
However, the 31-year-old beauty insists the break-up hasn't put her off finding love again in the future.
She shared: "I've not quite got it right yet but hopefully when I do fall in love again and when someone falls in love with me, it's going to be for me and none of that other stuff will matter. We'll see, he'll be out there somewhere."
Meanwhile, Gemma quit her role as Rachel Breckle in the ITV soap for the second time earlier this year and is currently preparing to walk in London Fashion Week for couture label Kolchagov Barba on September 18.

Jenna fumed: "Go have another baby by another man... She's an alcoholic" while Farrah added: "She's an alcoholic, a manipulator and a w***e."
Natasha, has sons Josh, 13, with Fran Cosgrave, Harry, 10, with dancer Gavin Hatcher, five-year-old Alfie with Riad Erraji and daughter Ella Rose, who will turn one on September 22, with Five singer Richie Neville.

She said: "I would never just judge someone within 20 minutes [of meeting them] and Farrah did that with me.She just went at me full steam. I made efforts with her.
"Not one time did she ever give me a chance. I kept trying until that one night I snapped. Farrah [was] screaming in [my] face calling obscenities."
Speaking from her secret bunker, Jenna vowed: "Karma's a bitch. We will bring the hammer of justice down."

Jim Carter wants a role in 'Modern Family'.
The 'Downton Abbey' actor - who plays butler Mr. Carson in the ITV period drama - has confessed that while he rarely recognises any of the actors at awards ceremonies in the US, he loves the sitcom and is always excited to meet the cast.
Asked which of the stars he'd most like to work with, Jim told BANG Showbiz: "Phil Dunphy, Ty Burrell. No, all of them actually. You couldn't take any of them out of 'Modern Family' without it collapsing."
The 67-year-old star admitted he was thrilled when characters Manny and Jay referred to 'Downton' in an episode of 'Modern Family'.
Jim explained: "I just think it's so funny ... And Manny, there was that line where he said, 'I'm exhausted', [and Jay says], 'Just because you've been watching a marathon of 'Downton Abbey'. So I've met a couple of them when I've been out there and fall on them like a crazed fan because I recognise them ... 'I know you, talk to me!' "
'Downton Abbey' returns to ITV on September 20 at 9pm.

Caprice believes 'Celebrity Big Brother's' Farrah Abraham is "evil".
The former housemate on the Channel 5 reality TV show has blasted her fellow American and 'Teen Mom' star for the "toxic" behaviour she has displayed on the UK vs USA themed series, and wants the Brits - including Bobby Davro, Natasha Hamilton and Gail Porter - to fight back.
Speaking from the National Lottery Awards 2015 at the London Studios on Friday night (11.09.15), Caprice told BANG Showbiz: "I think she is evil. It's unbelievable. It's toxic.
"Sometime you just kind of got to put her (Farah) in her place. For gods sake just go for it! We support you, just go for it."
The model-turned-businesswoman, 43, starred in the third series of CBB back in 2005.
And she says despite the fact that reality TV has become all about "fights", Farrah is an exception.
She said: "I think in America the TV has gone to such a shocking place, it's all about fights. And in the UK reality TV is going in that direction.
"But I think with Farrah, its just that, well she's just evil."
Meanwhile, Caprice has hedged her bets on a particularly handsome Brit to win the 16th CBB crown.
She said: "You know who I think is doing to win? James. What a sweet guy! I've never heard of him before. But I think James is going to make it."
The National Lottery Awards 2015 airs September 21 on BBC One.

Farrah Abraham and Jenna Jameson left the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house in a fake eviction on Friday (11.09.15).
While the pair initially believed the eviction was genuine, host Emma Willis informed them of the deception after they left the house to boos from the assembled crowd and both were whisked away to Celebrity Big Brother's Secret Luxury Suite to spy on their fellow housemates.
Jenna and Farrah will both spend 48 hours in their suite on the Channel 5 show.
They were then asked to choose another celebrity for eviction and chose "fake" and "heartless" Austin Armacost but their nomination actually gave him immunity as the twists continued.
And while Jenna and Farrah both believe their new location is a secret from the remaining housemates, Big Brother will actually fill everyone in on the fake eviction as the two porn stars become the victims of their own hoax.
The contestants have been told to do everything they can to get nominated for eviction by Farrah and Jenna as this will lead to immunity for whoever is chosen.
