Rita was kind enough to host the impromptu afterparty, inviting the likes of Brookyln Beckham, Liam Payne and Emma Weymouth to party at her London pad late into the night.

Joey is thought to have been dating model Lorena for nearly a year, after they were first pictured putting on a cosy display in May 2019.
They are believed to have first got together while filming MTV’s Ex On The Beach, but confirmed their relationship in October as they shared a romantic kiss during a dinner date at Chigwell’s Sheesh Restaurant.
In a recent interview on Loose Women, the hunk labelled the beauty ‘reem’ and confessed that things were ‘going good’ despite their long-distance romance.

Rita’s all-night afterparty comes after reports that she and Rafferty Law, 23, have recently drifted apart.
