Last year Ora came under fire for holding a birthday party at a London restaurant, despite the strict lockdown in place at the time. It was revealed that she paid the restaurant to break the rules, and also to turn off the CCTV cameras.

According to the Daily Telegraph, Ora has struck up a casual relationship with tennis player Nick Kyrgios while she's been in Sydney.
