Sport Relief: Rita Ora keeps it casual in jeans and a baseball cap as she arrives in Manchester to perform her new single How To Be Lonely
She recently admitted she was ‘obsessed’ with Joey Essex after the pair were spotted leaving her home following a 24-hour party session.
But Rita Ora was back to work as she arrived at Media City in Salford, Manchester, ahead of her Sport Relief performance on Friday.
The singer, 29, opted for a dressed down look in baggy blue jeans and a personalised baseball jacket which sported the number 82.

She finished the outfit with a pink Ralph Lauren baseball cap, lace-up trainers and statement sunglasses.
Rita, who is the first British female solo artist to have 13 top ten songs in the United Kingdom, looked in good spirits as she strutted into the studio where she will perform How To Be Lonely.
Her new single was written by fellow chart topper Lewis Capaldi and her Sport Relief performance will be a world exclusive of the track.

The pair were pictured last week leaving her home following a 24-hour party session with a host of celebrity friends.

‘I think I get more star-struck with reality TV stars than with people I’ve met, honest to god…

Addressing the rumours about Joey, she continued: ‘It’s insane, why can’t people be friends. Honestly it’s annoying.’
