Only recently, Rita was spotted looking stony-faced while emerging from a New York hotel alongside her boyfriend Andrew Watt last week.

The couple, who have been linked since earlier this year, appeared united despite allegations that she was seen ‘getting cosy’ with her ex Tyrone Wood – son of Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie – despite their relationship supposedly being finished.

According to The Sun, the pair, who remain good friends, were seen in North London, looking close, at The Abbey Tavern after a gig at RiZE Festival in Essex.

A source told the publication: ‘Rita arrived at about 7PM and made a beeline for Tyrone. They were with friends but stood right next to each other and were giggling and whispering…

‘There was undeniable chemistry between them, they couldn’t keep their hands off each other. She and Tyrone kept ordering shots of tequila and stayed until the pub closed. Rita’s boyfriend wouldn’t have been impressed.’

Tyrone is an art consultant, known for dating Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Daisy Lowe in the past. MailOnline have previously contacted a rep for Rita for comment.

This is the second iffy sighting in less than a week for Rita, who turned heads when she seemed to get tactile with One Direction’s Liam – who only just broke up with Rita’s former X Factor co-judge Cheryl.

Liam, who has been dating model Cairo Dwek, couldn’t keep his hands off glam Rita at the MTV VMAs. Both artists were in New York City for the musical event and had performed onstage at Bebe Rexha’s VMA kickoff concert on Sunday.

But the pair were later spotted getting cosy backstage, dancing and chatting closely to each other.

In exclusive footage obtained by DailyMail.com, filmed by fan Michal Jacobs, the 24-year-old heartthrob is seen with his arms draped over Rita’s shoulders. The pair were also seen whispering in each other’s ears as they swayed to the music.

Michal, from Englewood, New Jersey, said: ‘I was standing right at the front and at the end Liam and Rita were standing by the side and dancing together.

‘They were standing there talking, laughing, smiling and dancing.

‘She was in front of him and his arms were wrapped around her. It definitely could have been something romantic but they didn’t kiss or anything.’
