While she arrived at the music festival in style, catching a ride with pals Paris Hilton and Cara Delevingne in Paris' private jet.

The sexy single boasts several racy lyrics, including: the single, she sings: 'Sex on sight, anywhere you like. Inside or outside' and 'Only one thing I need, your heat on me.' Speaking to The Sun this week about the track, she explained: 'It's the need of it happening right now, in this moment. It's the idea that I want it on right now or I don't want to hear about it. It's that simple. 'I think that comes from the excitement of the song. I wanted it to feel instant and to have an impact. It is a brave, straight-up demand that you can use in any way you want.'

Rita told the publication: 'I wanted to really celebrate my sexuality and the way I am as a woman. My last album was so different, it was about my love life and getting married.

Rita has recently been supporting Kylie for the first leg of her tour after she previously revealed that Kylie's 2023 mega-hit from Tension, Padam Padam was nearly given to her. The synth-pop banger - penned by Norwegian singer-songwriter Ina Wroldsen and producer Lostboy - was a viral hit for Kylie.

Rita began performing as the support act for Kylie's Tension Tour in April at Atlanta's State Farm Arena. Gushing about the gig afterwards, she said: 'First night of the tour, wow the reception was incredible and I'm so grateful for this opportunity to connect with North America. It feels like such a huge compliment to open up for such an icon.'

Sugababes' Keisha Buchanan steps out with bandmates Mutya Buena and Siobhán Donaghy for ELLE UK's Celebration of Women In Music after ex appeared in court
Keisha Buchanan stepped out with her Sugababes bandmates on Tuesday for ELLE UK's Celebration of Women In Music. The girlband singer, 40, headed to the event, which was held in London in partnership with Fendi, with Mutya Buena and Siobhán Donaghy. Keisha looked effortlessly chic as she arrived in a bright red figure-hugging short-sleeved Fendi dress which reached down to her knees. She paired the dress with black stilettos and small oval sunglasses as she posed with Mutya and Siobhán, as well as stars Jamelia and Rita Ora. Keisha's appearance comes just days after her footballer ex-boyfriend appeared in court ahead of a trial next year over allegations he assaulted, harassed and controlled her. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Taiwo Leo Atieno, 39 – who once played for Luton Town and the Kenyan national team – is accused of repeatedly assaulting the chart-topping star, banning her from wearing red lipstick, and controlling her every move, from what she ate to when she could shower. The alleged abuse, said to have occurred between 2015 and 2018, included three physical assaults, one of which left Buchanan in so much pain she required physiotherapy. The singer, now 40, told police the ex-pro striker also dictated her finances, her diet, her personal grooming, and even her TV choices – in what prosecutors described as an 'oppressive and controlling relationship'. Last week, at a preliminary hearing at Southwark Crown Court, Atieno was granted bail under strict conditions ahead of a five-day trial set to start on April 13 next year. Appearing via videolink from HMP Wormwood Scrubs, he spoke only to confirm he understood the conditions of bail. Atieno must surrender his passport, abide by a strict curfew and live at his home address until his trial. He is also forbidden from leaving England and Wales, applying for any travel documents, or having any contact whatsoever with Ms Buchanan — including via email or social media. 'The complainant states that while she lived with the defendant she wasn't allowed to open her own letters or sort out her finances. 'The complainant would have to ask for money whenever she wanted it. 'The defendant would get annoyed if the complainant wore red lipstick. He berated her and called her trashy, and told her she looked like a prostitute whenever she wore this.' Mr Kalber added: 'This then fed into her dietary issues, due to the defendant controlling what she was allowed to eat.' Atieno allegedly carried out three assaults on Ms Buchanan, two in the defendant's bedroom and one in the front room. One assault allegedly saw Ms Buchanan experience a sharp pain in her lower back, which she described as feeling like a kick. The singer had to undergo physiotherapy as a result of the abuse, it is alleged. The singer claims Atieno controlled her use of the shower while they were living together and only allowed her to use the gym 'at certain times', the court heard. After being blocked from contacting her in any way, the footballer allegedly sent Ms Buchanan emails, and is accused of harassment over the course of three years.

I won't risk my safety by seeing Charli XCX at Glastonbury 2025
Having been eight times, I'd never felt unsafe at Glastonbury. Murmurs of crowds becoming claustrophobic and even potentially dangerous felt like a myth or unfortunate chaos that belonged in the past. That was until I was in the crush to get to Sugababes. In 2022, they were performing at the Avalon stage, a pop-friendly area with my name written all over it. It has seen some of the greatest artists from the Smash Hits era finally make it to Worthy Farm, when it would have been unthinkable to see them on the bill 20 years ago. The Avalon stage has a capacity of around 3,000 people and Sugababes were playing in the early evening. They've had six number one singles, four platinum albums and headlined the 02 Arena this year – clearly a 3,000 capacity stage wasn't going to accommodate one of the most successful artists on the Glastonbury bill. But somehow we managed to make it into the stage. I couldn't see Mutya, Keisha or Siobhan at any point but we made it in when thousands of others didn't, and endured the fresh hell of being part of the stampede trying to get into the tent. The Astroworld crush, which killed 10 people during rapper Travis Scott's gig, was just the year before and while Glastonbury would never let anything like that happen, it was still suffocating enough to cling onto friends and begin to panic. It was the first time I've ever been genuinely quite scared at Glastonbury and was sure I would never find myself in the same precarious situation again. Jump two years and Sugababes were back at Glastonbury, this time bumped up to the West Holts Stage – a significant upgrade with a 30,000 capacity, but still, it was obviously going to be another health and safety nightmare. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Stewards were trying to enforce a one-way system but there's only so much a handful of volunteers in high-vis jackets can do when there are thousands of fans with tunnel vision slipping through the net. They played on a Friday afternoon, clashing with Paul Heaton who was on The Pyramid, and once again it was an unnerving crush to see Push The Button live at Worthy Farm. I've spoken with friends and, after our previous experiences, many of us are concerned about this year. Subsequently, I've made the decision to avoid seeing the artist I was most excited to see. Charli XCX has by far been the most colossally important artist of the last 12 months. It was impossible not to get swept away by the Brat summer of 2024, whether you were a party girl functioning on Golden Virginia and Smirnoff Ice or you were just a spectator enjoying the ride from afar. She is the moment and I don't have a doubt she'll bring in the biggest crowd of the entire festival. Last year, she played a DJ set at Silver Hayes and thousands of people turned up just to watch her spin decks. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Huge crowds were turned away disappointed and it became one of the most celebrated moments of the weekend. It wasn't even a full Charli XCX show and the crowd was determined, engrossed and, more importantly, humongous. It is unthinkable, then, that she isn't topping off her Brat era on The Pyramid Stage where almost the entire festival could – and would – descend as one 170,000-strong army. Instead, she is on at The Other Stage, which has under half the capacity of the Pyramid, and sadly where I wouldn't dare try to see her. Last year Avril Lavigne performed on The Other Stage, her last hit single now 14 years old, and crowds complained they felt crushed as the swarm of fans expanded into camping areas. The thought of Charli on The Other Stage is genuinely terrifying and while every single person I know is dead set on watching her set, reluctantly I just can't face it. Glastonbury offers assurances every year that it always has a 'robust, dynamic crowd management plan in place', which I don't doubt, and Emily Eavis has admitted they've sold fewer tickets this year in an attempt to avert crushes. But logistically, I don't see how they can possibly keep the enormous Brat army confined to the limited space surrounding The Other Stage. At best it will be unbearable, at the very worst, potentially dangerous. There is a clash which might thin the crowd ever so slightly with rapper Doechi performing at the same time, but I can't see that being much of a deterrent for fiercely loyal Charli fans. More Trending It's sad that Glastonbury seems to specifically treat its pop artists this way, sidelining them to smaller stages, undermining their enormous fanbases and essentially losing grasp on its evolving identity. Granted, Olivia Rodrigo is closing the Pyramid Stage, but would it have been too much to have two humongous popstars headlining the same weekend? Glastonbury needs to realise what it is and who it's for before someone gets hurt. Yes, I am very lucky to be able to be in the field come the last weekend of June, but I can't deny I'm absolutely gutted that seeing Charli just feels like a dangerous option, which could so easily have been avoided.
