Rita Ora sends temperatures soaring in a skimpy £450 Burberry bikini as she poses for sizzling Glastonbury snaps
Rita Ora sent temperatures soaring as she posed for sizzling Instagram snaps in a Burberry bikini as she gave a glimpse into her Glastonbury weekend on Monday.
The British singer, 34, showed off her incredible figure in the designer £450 two-piece which she teamed with a black chunky belt and coordinated boots.
Rita later slipped into a pair of eye catching yellow sports shorts as she posed in front of a black £100K Mercedes G Wagon.
In another snap, the Poison hitmaker went braless under a white crop top as she posed for a selfie while walking through the motor home camping area at the Worthy Farm festival.
The Hot Right Now songstress slipped into a daring black backless minidress another day as she enjoyed the festival.
For her final outfit, Rita commanded attention in a white semi-sheer crochet crop top and matching skirt which she teamed with a pair of £570 Burberry wellies.
The star also shared a sweet snap of her husband Taika Waititi, 49, with singer Lorde, 29, in the VIP area.
She simply penned: 'GLASTO'.
Over the weekend, the likes of Charli XCX, The 1975, Olivia Rodrigo and Rod Stewart were among the stars headlining the festival.
It comes after Rita opened up about her 'tough' years as a teenager as her world 'crumbled' after her mother Vera was diagnosed with breast cancer.
The singer was only 13-years-old when her mother was diagnosed in 2005 at the age of 39 with her undergoing a partial mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation.
Rita, who has previously said she has experienced PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and panic attacks in the wake of Vera's health battle, revealed she now has hypochondria and regularly gets health check-ups.
Opening up to Davina McCall on her Begin Again podcast, the pop star reflected on her mother's health battle.
She said: 'It was tough seeing something that you believe has always and is always going to be there just sort of like crumble in front of you.
'Even when you're a kid, I was a teenager, I was 13 and I was very confused.
'I wanted to be with her all the time but she wanted me to go to school you know, I was going to a really great school that they were paying for amongst all of the treatments that she was doing, it was a really hard time for them my parents.'
Rita said that seeing Vera's whole treatment process 'trickled into her own health' and she started going to the doctors 'too many times' herself.
She continued: 'It's insane the ratings and the percentages of breast cancer and that definitely got me worried and checked and going to get my checks regularly and and it kind of trickled into my own health I guess because I was definitely seeing the whole experience with my mother.
'I definitely wanted to be there for her so I didn't realise actually that that was a thing until I started therapy.
'I was like "Oh maybe I'm going to the doctors too many times." But I do believe that is the reason because I saw that happen and that whole treatment process.'
The singer added that her mum has PTSD and 'never ending fear' around the times of her regular check-ups as there is always that 'what if' scenario.
She added: 'She still feels that way too when she gets her checkups, you have to always have your regular checkups and my mother always has that fear just during that period of what if and of course that's PTSD.

The full list of acts who made political statements at Glastonbury 2025
The BBC has since expressed regret at not pulling its livestream of the duo's performance at the West Holts stage on Saturday, saying the 'antisemitic sentiments' expressed by the group were 'utterly unacceptable'. Since Glastonbury was founded more than 50 years ago, many artists have used their platform at the ever-growing event to make political statements. READ MORE: 'Completely unprecedented': BBC cuts live feed for Kneecap Glastonbury performance Here are some of the acts who shared their views with audiences at this year's festival at Worthy Farm: Kneecap The Irish rap group led Glastonbury crowds in chants of 'f*** Keir Starmer' during their set at the festival on Saturday. The group, who hail from Belfast, have been in the headlines after member Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara, was charged with a terror offence. During the performance, Og O hAnnaidh said: 'The Prime Minister of your country, not mine, said he didn't want us to play, so f*** Keir Starmer.' The group also gave a 'big thank you to the Eavis family', adding the festival organisers 'stood strong' amid calls for Kneecap to be dropped from the line-up. READ MORE: Kneecap respond to 'legend' who streamed their Glastonbury set after BBC blackout The band led crowds in chants of 'Free Palestine', with O hAnnaidh commenting on the sheer number of flags at the festival. The 27-year-old wore a keffiyeh during the set, while member JJ O Dochartaigh, who performs under the name DJ Provai, wore his signature tri-coloured balaclava and a T-shirt reading 'We are all Palestine Action' – in reference to the soon-to-be banned campaign group. Rod Stewart Rod Stewart filled the tea-time legends slot on Sunday, where he performed alongside his former Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood, Simply Red's Mick Hucknall and Scottish singer Lulu. The 80-year-old singer, who called on Britain to 'give Nigel Farage a chance' in an interview with the Times on Saturday, dedicated a song to Ukraine while its war with Russia rages on. Ukrainian flags were shown on a screen behind Stewart, who said: 'There's been a lot about the Middle East recently, quite rightly so, but I want to draw your attention to Ukraine in the next song, it's called the Love Train.' The lyrics allude to a call for peace, as Stewart sang: 'People all over the world, join hands. Start the love train. The first stop that we make will be in England. Tell all the folks in Russia and China too. Don't you know that it's time to get on board?' Jade Former Little Mix star Jade Thirwall took to the Woodsies stage on Saturday and got fans to join in during her performance of her record FUFN (F*** You For Now). 'I'm sure there are so many people who would love to say f*** you, so I want you all to put your middle fingers up in the air,' she told crowds. READ MORE: Little Mix singer Jade leads chants of 'f*** Reform' at Glastonbury She encouraged her audience to join her in a call and response, where she said things she dislikes and they responded 'f*** you', including a jibe at Farage's Reform UK party. 'Like low battery, smelly toilets, Reform, welfare cuts, transphobia, silencing protests, selling arms, justifying genocide,' Jade called out. Nadine Shah Shah took to the stage on Sunday lunchtime with a backdrop displaying images of Gaza and ended the set by playing voice notes from Palestinian children, many saying, 'I'm still alive.' Shah was in tears as these played. The alternative musician from Whitburn also read an open-letter in support of Palestine Action. Shah explained that she's fine with having a reputation as 'this kind of earnest, fucking loudmouth, outspoken women' before saying: 'I just don't like seeing people being killed.' READ MORE: Labour equate Palestine Action to 'Maniacs Murder Cult' in terror order Shah continued: 'I think protest and demonstration are incredibly important, and are a basic human right.' Shah called Palestine Action 'an incredible group' and stressed that she's 'a pacifist and not a violent person'. Amyl and the Sniffers Amy Taylor, the lead singer of the Australian rock band, made a bold statement as she spoke about Palestine, colonisation and the rights of indigenous people in her home country. The 29-year-old said politicians from the left and the right 'don't believe in anything at all'. 'I'm thinking about the people in Palestine. All our governments — we're from Australia — they're doing jack shit, and I know yours are doing jack shit,' she told crowds at the Other Stage on Saturday evening. She continued: 'I think about schooling and I think about media, and we don't know, learn anything about colonisation. We don't learn nothing about sex education. 'We don't learn any of the right things, and we don't see any of the right things in the media. 'That's what is so f***** up. They don't want us to know. They want us to shut the f*** up, because if we think about Palestine, then back home in Australia we think about the indigenous people there and we think about the fact that us as whities… we're the f****** colonisers, and that's so disgusting and that's so much to hold but that's the truth.' The singer also declared: 'I think it's better to say anything than to say nothing at all right now.' Black Country, New Road The indie-folk band played the Woodsies stage on Sunday, with vocalist and bassist Tyler Hyde taking centre stage wearing a Palestine flag T-shirt. The six-piece from Cambridge also had a flag draped over their keyboard, and during their set, Hyde said 'Free Palestine' and led the audience in chants of 'Free, free Palestine'. CMAT Irish country star CMAT, real name Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, chanted 'free Palestine' at the end of her set, which included Take A Sexy Picture Of Me, from her forthcoming third studio album Euro-Country. Gurriers Grontman Dan Hoff of Irish noise rockers Gurriers said during their Woodsies set: 'Free Palestine, unlike other bands we know where we stand politically.' Wolf Alice Later on Sunday, singer Ellie Rowsell told the crowd watching the Mercury-winning indie band at the Other Stage: 'Whilst we have the stage for just a little bit longer, we want to express our solidarity with the people of Palestine. 'No-one should ever be afraid to do that. 'We love you all, and we will see you out on the field.'

Wimbledon diary: strawberry sandwiches, pricey rackets and Oliver Tarvet's expenses
'Where are the strawberries and cream?' was among the more unexpected questions for one of Wimbledon's army of volunteer stewards as the crowd streamed through the gates on Monday morning, given that the answer is 'absolutely everywhere you look'. It was a different story, though, at the local branch of Marks & Spencer, where 300 packs of the chain's specially commissioned strawberry & crème sandwich, a staple food for influencers on Instagram and TikTok in recent days, ran out shortly after 9am. A sample did make it into the media room, however, and while strawberries 'paired with whipped cream cheese on sweetened bread' might sound like the losing team's product idea on week two of The Apprentice, it has to be said … it's very edible. There was an air of genteel bedlam in the main Wimbledon shop as the first wave of merch-hungry tennis fans poured through the doors in search of SW19-branded booty. The demand for hats and towels was, not surprisingly, rather stronger than that for sweatshirts and hoodies, and no one at all seemed inclined to lug around one of the giant tennis rackets – designed to be hung on the wall, apparently – that are the most expensive single items in the shop at £600 a pop. And why would you, when you can get a self-inflating cushion – a genuine masterpiece of cutting-edge design that does exactly what it promises to do – for £582 less? Wimbledon's post-match media conferences can tend towards the formulaic – in the post-Nick Kyrgios era, at any rate – but there was an unusual twist in Oliver Tarvet's debrief after his excellent opening-day win against Leandro Riedi, as a 30-second chat about the match itself gave way to an in-depth discussion of the US collegiate system's rule limiting an athlete's annual earnings to $10,000 (£7,300). Tarvet, who is at San Diego University, is guaranteed at least £99,000 for reaching the second round and will now aim to spend as much of it as possible to get below the limit. 'I will try and do everything I can to make that work out and to find X amount of expenses so I'm under $10,000 of profit,' he said. 'I've got to find £60k, £70k of expenses. Tennis is an expensive sport so, hopefully I can make that happen. Just pay my coaches a little bit extra, I don't know. We'll figure something out. Fly business class. No, I keep humble, but yeah, really try to make that happen.' One of the more persistent – if understandable – annual breaches of Wimbledon protocol appears to have been consigned to history (along with the line judges) at this year's tournament: the running-while-looking-like-you're-not dash from gate three to the kiosk selling returns from the show courts as soon as the gates open at 10am. The simple solution – so simple that you can only wonder why it did not happen years ago – was to move the kiosk from its old spot by the Garden Café, on the far boundary of the site, to a new location … right next to gate three. 'We had to get lots of stewards in to try to get people to stop running,' an official mused while watching the new system working flawlessly on Monday. 'It wasn't very Wimbledon.' Sign up to The Recap The best of our sports journalism from the past seven days and a heads-up on the weekend's action after newsletter promotion Tennis-goers at Wimbledon are used to spending a fair part of their day looking nervously skywards but, for one day at least, players and punters alike were hoping for a cloud or two to offer some blessed respite from the 30C heat. Keeping cool was a constant challenge and one to which Daniil Medvedev, the No 9 seed, epically failed to rise. His rackets paid a heavy price for his surprise defeat by Benjamin Bonzi, as Medvedev took out his rage on both his chair and his bag, though he was more philosophical in the media room. 'Physically, it was not easy,' he said. 'To make a winner against him today, I had to make like, three great shots in the corner. I will never say he won because of the heat, but the heat is not easy to play. I do think, if you ask him, probably he was not enjoying the heat either.'
