Rita Ora claimed her 30th birthday celebrations would just be ‘my parents and me’ before flouting lockdown rules with a party.

The Sun exclusively revealed how around 30 friends and family members attended the secret bash at a restaurant in West London last month.

Photos of guests arriving to the party included her sister Elena, Cara and Poppy Delevingne and Rita’s best friend Vas Morgan.

However, in an interview with The Sunday Times Magazine – which took place in early November – Rita claimed her milestone birthday would be a low key affair.

Speaking about her lockdown experience, she said: “I’m being patient – getting through it like everyone.”

She added of her birthday plans: “It’s going to literally be just my parents and me.

“I’m actually looking forward to it. To just hanging out with my parents. Is that weird?”

Referring to her party loving persona, she added: “My reputation’s going to go down the drain but [my parents are] my favourite people to hang out with.”

However, she clearly changed her mind and decided to flout lockdown rules and throw a bigger bash at Casa Cruz in London’s Notting Hill area.

While Rita immediately apologised on Instagram and voluntarily offered to pay the £10,000 fine after speaking to cops, she was then caught out for a second time.

Rita flew by private jet to Cairo on November 21 to perform at the five-star W Hotel.

Among those present was the Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, The Mail on Sunday reports.

After returning the following day she should have self-isolated for 14 days but instead, threw her birthday party.
