Rita Ora spotted leaving Fashion Awards with rumoured beau

 She was seen leaving the afterparty with her rumoured ‘love interest’ Andrew Watts, after the pair were first pictured together last year.

But Rita Ora was spotted enjoying the Fashion Awards earlier that evening with MMA star Conor McGregor, as the pair put on a friendly display from inside the awards bash.

The 27-year-old singer was seen posing for selfies with the  29-year-old sporting superstar inside the Royal Albert Hall on Monday.

Rita jokingly tweeted posted snaps of the pair on her Instagram story with the caption: ‘Date night,’ as they both posed with a slew of other stars at the bash.

Connor looked totally dapper in a burgundy suit as he sat next to Rita for the awards show, happily grinning for selfies of the pair.

As the night wore on, Rita joked that the pair were holding up the fort as other people headed, sharing a selfie with the caption: ‘And then there were two.’

Despite their friendly display, Rita was seen leaving the Fashion Awards afterparty in the early hours of Tuesday morning with her rumoured ‘love interest’ Andrew Watts.

The star attempted to keep a low profile as she left the Chiltern Firehouse with Andrew, despite the couple keeping mum on their relationship status.

Continuing to rock her standout black and yellow ensemble from her performance that evening, Rita and Andrew appeared to be going for a ‘matchy matchy’ look as he also donned a standout print two-piece suit, along with red tinted specs.

The couple have been spotted together on numerous occasions, but have refused to confirm that they are in a relationship.

A source told MailOnline that Rita and Andrew are just friends, saying: ‘They have never dated. Andrew is a producer who worked on her album and is a friend of hers.’

Rita previously arrived at the Fashion Awards in a dress that was by her standards quite demure, walking the red carpet in a chic silver fitted gown.

But the former X Factor judge songstress soon switched it up with a head turning honeycomb print outfit as she performed on stage in front of the fashion industry’s A-List.

Changing into a garish yellow and black blazer leggings combo, Rita also channeled leopard print as part of her daring new ensemble.

Throwing on a long line leopard print blazer, Rita went on stage supported by a whole backing choir, dressed in black to highlight her outlandish attire.

Beneath the striking blazer Rita donned an even more eye-catching hornet’s tail inspired jumpsuit.

And veering back to the leopard print look, she added a pair of pointy printed heels to add some extra sass to her look. 

Taking to the stage, the singer clutched an all white tambourine in her hand strutting around channelling her inner-Mick Jagger.

Arriving at the ceremony, showing off her stunning figure, the London girl’s stunning metallic dress sported sequined side panels and a plunging neckline, alluding to her ample assets.

And with a deep tan, the star has clearly been enjoying some quality time abroad during the colder winter autumn months at home. 

Placing a hand on her hip while posing seductively, Rita let her blonde hair fall past her shoulders, drawing attention to her stunning diamond earrings.

And with a smattering of makeup to highlight her natural good looks, the star added a few subtle pieces of jewelry to complete her chic look.
