The pictures that show Rita Ora’s 30th birthday party being investigated by police after it broke London lockdown rules
RITA Ora had more than 30 people gather to celebrate her 30th birthday over the weekend - which is completely against current lockdown restrictions in the UK.
The Hot Right Now singer decided to ignore Boris' Covid-19 rules so that she could celebrate her milestone birthday.

On Saturday 30 November 2020, the star and 30 others gathered at posh Casa Cruz restaurant in Notting Hill, West London.
The likes her sister Elena, 32, Towie pal Vas Morgan and Cara Delevingne attended the party and were seen sneaking through the back exit.
A source told us: “Rita and her sister came to the restaurant first, all dolled up and clearly looking forward to a good night.
“There were a number of guests, all dressed up very glamorously, and everyone entered the building through the back, with security watching the front to make sure no one else went in. It went on until the early hours.”

However, Nicholas Fallows - who is listed as the sole director of Casa Cruz London Ltd - insisted to The Sun it was the first he’d heard about the party, and said the restaurant was “owned by shareholders”.
The pop star has since then told The Sun she is "deeply sorry for breaking the rules" and sources have told us that she's voluntarily paid the £10,000 fine.
Rita has certainly had a big blow out for her 30th as she also enjoyed a quieter, much more lockdown appropriate party at her home last Thursday.
The Hot Right Now singer gave an insight into what she got up to last Thursday to celebrate her 30th from the comfort of her own pad.

Wearing a metallic peplum top and black figure-hugging trousers, Rita rounded off her birthday girl look with matching chunky jewellery and a pop of blue eyeshadow.
Her room was decked with trendy gold and leopard-print balloons and dozens of bunches of flowers covering the tables.
A cheeky bottle of champagne could be seen on the kitchen, while the main table was fully set for a celebratory dinner.
One Instagram image saw Rita posing side-profile as she looked set to blow the candles out from her three-tier cream birthday cake, adorned with pastel-colour flowers.

She later showed her cheeky side as she tucked into a huge plate of the dessert for herself.
Another images showed Rita was well catered for when it came to sweet treats, with a saucer stacked high with multi-colour macarons.
In a caption alongside a selection of images, Rita wrote: "Me and cake and some trousers I couldn’t breathe in.
"Thank you for all the love it felt weird not doing anything for my bday so being me I dressed up and ate cake 🍰 also clock the hairspray on the table lol anyway thank you for everyone who showed me endless love on my born day I’m forever grateful you all know who you are.

"Today I’m going to finish the rest of my cake for breakfast lunch and dinner. Byeeeeeeeeee 🥰🎈🍰."
Rita was unable to celebrate her birthday in a more traditional way with the UK currently in the midst of the second coronavirus imposed national lockdown.
Yet fans were quick to wish her the best and join in celebrations on her Instagram page, with presenter pal Sarah-Jane Crawford writing: "Sensational staying in birthday 👏🏾😍."
Earlier in the lockdown period, the singer-songwriter went make-up free to reveal her beauty routine.
