Rita Ora has sparked engagement rumours after being spotted out and about with a sparkler on her wedding finger.
The 29-year-old chart-topping star has been in a relationship with 39-year-old director Romain Gavras for the past six months.
But it seems things could be moving very fast for the couple as Rita was spied with a ring on her finger while out riding in a West London restaurant on Thursday night.
Onlookers claim the star was “flashing” the ring for all and sundry to see – but became suddenly protective of her ring finger when she spotted photographers waiting for her outside the Mexican restaurant she was in.

A source described the scene to The Sun on Sunday: “Rita was showing off the ring on Thursday with the women seemingly cooing over it.
“She seemed in high spirits when she left the restaurant and then shoved her hand in her pocket.”
Photos have emerged of the star seemingly trying to hide her face while leaving the Taqueria restaurant in Notting Hill.
While the star could also be seen trying to hide her hand – which featured a silver ring embossed with some kind of jewel.

EXCLUSIVE: Melanie Leahy’s son Matthew was found hanged in 2012 at The Linden Centre in Chelmsford - he is just one of 24 who have died in units run by the former North Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust
Mum demands 'I want justice' after suicides of 24 patients in care of NHS trust
A bereaved mum leading calls for a public inquiry into the deaths of 24 patients while in the care of an NHS mental health trust has said: “All I want is justice.”
Melanie Leahy’s son Matthew was found hanged in 2012, aged 20, at the Linden Centre, a unit at Chelmsford’s Broomfield Hospital.
Since 2001, he was one of seven to die at the site – where we last year exposed a worker dozing instead of watching patients.
Melanie, 55, from Maldon, Essex, said: “He was taken to a place where he was meant to be safe... seven days later he came out in a box.
“But he’s not the only one the Trust has failed.”
All 24 patients who died in units run by the former North Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (NEPUFT) – which merged with South Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust in 2017 to form Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (EPUFT) – did so in their rooms.
Inquests and official reports ruled that three of the deaths followed failings by NEPUFT.
And earlier this week, the Health and Safety Executive said it was taking legal action against EPUFT.
The case relates to alleged failings by NEPUFT between 2004 and 2015, and follows a probe into risks from “fixed potential ligature points” in inpatient wards.
The HSE did not probe individual deaths, which are outside its remit.
An inquest into Matthew’s death found he was “subjected to... multiple failings over a long period” at the Linden Centre.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council later disciplined three staff for falsifying care plans for him.
Matthew had called Melanie alleging he was drugged and raped.
Traces of date-rape drug GBH were found in his blood – and four needle marks in his groin.
A 2019 report by the parliamentary health service ombudsman said staff did “not take adequate action” when Matthew reported being raped.
Melanie is joined in her fight by two other sets of parents whose children died at the Linden Centre.
University lecturer Robert Wade, 65, and wife Linda, 69, want answers over son Richard’s death at 30.
Richard, who wrote a book on Conservative Party economic policy, was taken to the site in 2015 following a psychotic episode.
He was found dead in a bathroom less than 12 hours later.
An inquest heard Richard’s risk was “not properly and adequately assessed”.
Mum Linda, of Great Cornard, Suffolk, said: “Richard went into that place to be safe and to live.”

And Lisa Morris wants to know “the full truth” of how son Ben, who suffered with ADHD, died aged 20.
She said he was “going crazy” trying to leave the Linden Centre in the hours before he was found hanged.
A health ombudsman report found “missed opportunities to mitigate the risk” of him taking his own life.
After the police probe, Essex detectives said they found “clear and basic failings” in care but they “did not meet the evidential threshold” for a charge of manslaughter.
Law firm Hodge Jones & Allen is backing the families’ call for an inquiry.
Sally Morris, chief executive of EPUFT, said of the HSE prosecution: “We are restricted in comments we can make. But our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with the families whose loved ones were part of this investigation. Safety is our absolute priority.”
The Trust declined to comment on the idea of an inquiry.

PHILIPPE COUTINHO WORKS OUT IN HIS GARDEN IN THROWBACK CLIP
PHILIPPE COUTINHO WORKS OUT IN HIS GARDEN IN THROWBACK CLIP
Coutinho is playing a starring role in Barcelona's solid start to the La Liga season so far, after he was linked with a move to the Premier League only a few weeks ago
Ronald Koeman has given his explanation of Philippe Coutinho's transformation from Barcelona flop to the La Liga giants' star man.
Barca host Sevilla on Sunday with Coutinho thriving after being given a second chance at the Nou Camp by new boss Koeman.
The former Liverpool ace was arguably Barcelona's best player in the win, setting up Ansu Fati for one of the teenager's two goals and going close to scoring himself.
Coutinho had appeared set for the exit door this summer after Bayern Munich declined to sign him permanently following his season-long loan in Germany.
Having struggled to show his best form at Barca since his £130million move from Liverpool into 2018, he was linked with a return to the Premier League, with Arsenal, Leicester City and Newcastle among the clubs credited with an interest.

But after being given chance to revive his Nou Camp career under Koeman, the 28-year-old is excelling in his favoured attacking midfield role.
He is leading by example on the pitch, has claimed two assists from as many La Liga games and looks much happier than he has for some time.
Koeman has been cited as the main influence on Coutinho's renaissance after the Barca legend took over as the club's new head coach in August.
But while the 57-year-old claims some credit for playing Coutinho in his preferred position, he says the transformation is otherwise down to the player himself.
Asked to explain behind Coutinho's return to form, Koeman told Sport : "That's a good question and the answer is very easy: he's a very good player. That's it.
"He's a player that learned a lot in England, a lot in Bayern Munich.
"My job as a coach is to get the best out of every player.
"And that starts by putting them in their position. I think that generates more confidence.

EXCLUSIVE: Richard had a heart transplant shortly before his son's birth, but eight months later baby Ethan's life also hung in the balance - with medics fitting a mechanical heart to the outside of his body
Dad's joy as baby boy gets a new heart - just months after he had same operation
Little Ethan Eaves whizzes around the family home in his baby walker, just weeks after a life-saving heart transplant during lockdown.
And the courageous toddler follows in the footsteps of dad Richard – who also had a heart transplant, at the start of last year.
Ethan spent almost a year being kept alive by a mechanical heart outside his body before Richard and wife Roselelia got the call to say a real organ had been found for the 19-month-old.
Richard said: “It’s incredible. I’m just so grateful that two families said yes to organ donations and that our recoveries are going well.
“It’s lovely to be a proper family again under one roof. It’s so nice to wake up each morning and hear Ethan chatting away to himself, and watching him play with his sisters.”
Ethan was eight months old when he was diagnosed with an enlarged heart in August 2019.
Richard, 38, knew what lay ahead for his baby son because he was still recovering from a heart transplant himself only eight months earlier.
Engineer Richard’s life was saved by a stranger after he was diagnosed with a different heart problem from his son’s.
The genetic condition, right ventricular cardiomyopathy, had also claimed the life of his own dad at 35.
Richard was distraught as Ethan was rushed to London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital, where he spent months before news of a donor came through during the pandemic restrictions.
Ethan was initially placed on an air pressure machine to help his ailing heart – but by November was reliant on a Berlin mechanical heart.
With Ethan now home, Roselelia has sent sincerest thanks to the family who decided to donate their child’s organs.
She said: “When we got the call to say a heart had been found I wept with relief. I called my mum and could only get out the word ‘heart’ because I was crying so hard.
“At the same time I was crying just as hard because someone had lost their little one and made the difficult decision to donate their organs.
“I hope one day we meet that family and they can see what they’ve done for us – that a story of hope has come from their sorrow. If it wasn’t for Richard and Ethan’s donors I would be a widow now and my son wouldn’t be here.”
From May this year all adults actively have to opt out of organ donation under Max and Keira’s Law.
The regulations are named after 12-year-old Max Johnson, who campaigned with the Mirror to change the law, and his heart donor Keira Ball, who tragically lost her life at nine.
But the new legislation does not apply to under-18s and parents still have to give permission for their child’s organs to be used.
Roselelia spent weeks alone at her son’s beside during the Covid-19 outbreak because GOSH rules meant only one carer could stay with Ethan.
She had returned home to Luton, Beds, for a rare night when the couple got the all-important news a donor had been found in a 4am phone call.
Roselelia, 35, who works for a property firm, said: “By this time the restrictions had lifted a little so we both rushed down to the hospital and Ethan was in surgery an hour later.
“I held him in my arms and sang to him as he was given the anaesthetic and wheeled to theatre for six hours. We were allowed to visit him an hour after his operation. It was so weird seeing him in a bed with no tubes leading from his chest and no vibration from all the machinery keeping him alive.”
Richard and Roselelia are astonished by how quickly Ethan has settled into life back home.
The Berlin heart meant he was only able to sit up in hospital and he got so tired he could play with his toys for just short periods of time.
But he is already running rings around adoring big sisters Alana, seven, and Maia, 12, Roselelia’s children from a previous relationship.
She said: “It was amazing to have him home after almost a year in a hospital bed.
“The first day he got home he was really quiet. I sat him on the floor and he kept rubbing and touching the carpet saying ‘Ooohh’.

TRUMP GETS IN MARINE ONE TO BE TAKEN TO HOSPITAL
TRUMP GETS IN MARINE ONE TO BE TAKEN TO HOSPITAL
The US President has been flown to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre for treatment - and he is reportedly fearful after the death of his pal Stan Chera from coronavirus
Donald Trump repeatedly asked "am I going to die?" as he fell sick with coronavirus, it was claimed.
Reports in America say the US President, 74, feared the same fate as a friend who died from the disease.
It is claimed he said: “Am I going out like Stan Chera? Am I?”
Chera, a long-time supporter, died aged 77 in April in New York.
It was also claimed last night that Mr Trump was “still not on a clear path to recovery”.
An official familiar with his health said: “The President’s vitals over the last 24 hours were very concerning and the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care.”
The comment was contained in a note handed to reporters by White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.
It was at odds with the President’s medical team who said he was “improving” and “fever free”.
They spoke as the US leader was due to spend a second night in the Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre in Bethesda, Maryland.
Dr Shaun Dooley, a critical care physician, said Mr Trump was in “high spirits” and told his team: “I feel like I could walk out of here today.”
But White House physician Dr Sean Conley refused to answer with clarity when pressed if the President needed help breathing.
Following the doctors’ press conference, Mr Trump tweeted: “Doctors, nurses and all at the great Walter Reed Medical Centre, and others from likewise incredible institutions who have joined them, are AMAZING.
“Tremendous progress has been made over the last six months in fighting this plague. With their help, I am feeling well.”
Later Mr Meadows said: “The President is doing very well. He is up and about and asking for documents to review. Doctors are very pleased.”
Yesterday it was claimed Mr Trump had taken oxygen at the White House after displaying “clinical indications” of the virus on Thursday afternoon – earlier than reported by his team.
He is also rumoured to have been hooked up to a portable oxygen tank when he left for hospital in a helicopter on Friday.
