SNOOP DOGG would be a popular answer to the age-old question of which celebrity you’d like to be stranded on a desert island with.

Now RITA ORA can tell you from experience what it’s really like.
They were shooting a video in Thailand last month when the tide went out, leaving them stuck on a remote beach for hours.
Luckily Snoop came up with a way of keeping the singer calm — and it had nothing to do with what he was smoking at the time.
Rita said: “The boat couldn’t come to the shore and we couldn’t get off the island.

“Everyone had left except me, Snoop, my sister, the camera guy and the lighting guy. I was like, ‘Are we ever going to get off alive?’ ”
Rita — who features on a song called Torn Apart by the rapper’s reggae alter ego SNOOP LION — added: “We had to walk all the way to the boat because the tide had gone out and the boat couldn’t get to the shore.
“We had to wade through the sea to the boat. I don’t know what was touching my toes! Slithery things, stones. I was holding Snoop’s hand and he was squeezing it so tight I lost all circulation. It was hilarious.”
Bonding with Snoop isn’t the only highlight of her year so far.
Her cameo in movie Fast And Furious 6 hits the big screen in May — and she even appears on the official trailer.

Rita played a homecoming gig at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire on Monday. She got cheers on Hot Right Now and did decent dance moves for Roc The Life.
During How We Do (Party) one lucky assistant had to zip up the back of her jumpsuit.
She paid tribute to another old school rapper THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G. before ending the show on R.I.P, though TINIE TEMPAH didn’t turn up to do his rap.
