She hasn't released any music for two years.

But that hasn't stopped Rita Ora's earning potential as she's said to have made £3 million over 2016 - despite her lack of musical offerings.

The Sun reports that assets in her firm Ora Multi Services Ltd rose from £2million to £4.4million while Ora Live Ltd received a £700,000 boost in the year ending April 2016.

Hard-working: She hasn't released any music for two years. But that hasn't stopped Rita Ora's earnings as she's said to have made £3 million over 2016 - despite her lack of musical offerings

A source told the newspaper: 'Rita’s earning power is incredible given she hasn’t released any music for almost two years. She is actually one of the hardest-working stars in the business.'

Whilst her last solo single, Posion, was released in May 2015, Rita has kept earning through her collaborations with brands such as Adidas and Tezenis.

The songstress has also appeared in the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise, and hosted America's Next Top Model for a season.

MailOnline have contacted Rita's representatives for comment.

Rita will have one less job on her plate this year, however, as she will no longer be hosting America's Next Top Model after show creator Tyra Banks announced she would be returning.

The supermodel created the model talent contest back in 2003 and hosted the reality show until 2016 when it moved from The CW to VH1.

She relinquished her hosting duties last year but clearly had a change of heart.

Tyra, 43, tweeted a shout out to Rita thanking her for her stint as host, posting: 'Mizz @ritaora, you exemplify Business Boss Brand to the fullest! Thank you for all the amazingness you brought to ANTM,' she wrote.

'I love you!!!' Rita tweeted back, before teasing that she was leaving to focus on releasing her long-awaited second album.

The British beauty enthused: 'Love to you all for amazing ride! Cannot wait for you all to hear my new music'.

'The last few years has seen Rita's time taken up by TV, film and fashion but this year her focus is on following up her Number One debut album.'
