Rita Ora in Sydney hotel quarantine after previously breaking COVID-19 rules in London

Star singer Rita Ora has been locked up in a Sydney hotel room after previously breaking COVID-19 rules in London at an A-lister party.

Superstar Rita Ora has entered hotel quarantine in Sydney after previously breaking COVID-19 rules at a star-studded London party.

Ora, 30, is in Australia to shoot the upcoming season of The Voice, where she’ll be a coach guiding wannabe pop stars on how to achieve their singing goals.

The Brit was escorted from Sydney Airport to a hotel quarantine facility, unlike some other foreign A-listers who have been able to quarantine in homes, The Sun reported.

“There was nothing she could do to avoid having to properly quarantine,” a source told the newspaper.

Ora previously caused a scandal in the UK when it was exposed she had hosted a birthday party at a Notting Hill venue that broke coronavirus restrictions.

According to UK media reports, the singer paid the equivalent of $9000 to rent out the Casa Cruz restaurant, where the CCTVs were turned off for the night. A recent licensing hearing by the local council heard the camera hard drives were wiped afterwards.

Police say CCTV hard drives were reformatted two days later, with no footage available from the previous month.

The star has since apologised for the party, as details emerged in a licence review for Casa Cruz in London’s Notting Hill due to be heard today.

In a statement to police on December 1, former Casa Cruz boss Scottie Bhattarai said he was contacted by a representative of Rita on his personal mobile at 5.30pm.

He said the person wanted somewhere for “drinks and nibbles” and he was offered $9000.

Most staff were on furlough so Mr Bhattarai went to the venue to “facilitate”, admitting he was “greedy”.

He said the plan was to have around seven guests but by 9pm almost 20 had turned up.

They reportedly included model Cara Delevingne, her sister Poppy and Towie’s Vas Morgan.

Police were called just before midnight. Photos later emerged of Rita and friends leaving – as revealed by The Sun.

Making matters worse, Ora had arrived from Egypt just a week before the November 28 party.

That overseas trip should have required her to self-isolate for two weeks.

The singer has apologised for the party. The Seven Network, which will air the new season of The Voice, has been contacted for comment.
