A TikTok page has shared a video of two boys spotting Dua Lipa, 29, on holiday while having a cheeky cigarette.
In the video, Dua can be seen sitting on the side of a street wearing a floaty cream frock.
Puffing on a cigarette and looking around, Dua looked content and relaxed as she relaxed on holiday.
She could be seen laughing with and chatting to who she was on vacation with.
Holding her cigarette elegantly, Dua took several puffs from it as she sat in public.
Fans were quick to react to the video, with them entirely divided in the comments section on TikTok.
One person penned: "How did you stay calm?!...i would scream and run towards her to hug."
"She actin nonchalant like she doesn't know she is filmed," added a second.
A third said: "And she's just SITTING ON THE SIDEWALK with a glass of wine too!
"No boujee fancy private table at the best restaurants…
Showbiz's secret celebrity smokers revealed
"Ugh I love how she just seems like a chill, normal person unlike a lot of other celebrities at her level of fame."
Others slammed her for smoking, with one person writing: "It's really hard to understand why ppl still smoke, so young too!"
"Can never respect singers who smoke. No and no," said a second.
Dua previously spoke about how she had decided to give up smoking for her Future Nostalgia tour in 2022.
Dua Lipa's love life: A history
Who has Dua Lipa dated in the past?
Isaac Carew
Dua dated the British model and chef twice. The started dating in 2015 before splitting up two years later due to scheduling issues. They rekindled their romance in 2018 before splitting for good a year later.
Paul Klein
After she broke up from Isaac in 2017, she embarked on a new relationship that same year with the musician. They broke up after just five months of dating in 2018.
Anwar Hadid
One of her most high-profile relationships was with Anwar Hadid, brother of supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid. Although they quarantined together during the COVID-19 Pandemic they called it quits in 2021 as Dua wanted to focus on being single
Jack Harlow
In December 2022, it was claimed that both of the music pairing were 'hanging out' together. Although after a few months it seemed that the relationship fizzled out.
Romain Gavras
The French director was first linked to Dua back in 2023 when they were seen in London leaving the BAFTA Awards afterparty together in February. They later walked the red carpet together at the Cannes Film Festival in May. They were later pictured together over the summer that year in July and August as they celebrated his birthday. She has since deleted mentions of him off of her Instagram.
Callum Turner
In January 2024, Callum celebrated the release of his Apple TV+ series, Masters of Air. The pair were spotted together at the afterparty of the premiere in Los Angeles. They were then spotted getting close on a number of dates. Insiders since revealed that the duo have travelled together and have met each other's families. The pair then became more public with their relationship before rumours circulated of an engagement over the festive period. The singer appeared to confirm the news on social media, posting a photo with her huge ring in plain sight.
Speaking on Late Night With Seth Meyers, the singer revealed wanted her vocal health to be top notch so decided to give up smoking.
"I was smoking cigarettes at the time... But I've stopped. I've quit, guys," she said to the host at the time.
But by August of the same year, she had seemingly started smoking cigarettes again.
Fans cottoned on when she shared a photograph clutching a box of Malboro Gold.
And in January of this year, there were a slew of paparazzi photos of Dua with her husband-to-be Callum Turner in Paris, with the pair spotted smoking and cuddling by the Eiffel Tower.

Huge Traveller fleet has set up camp outside our homes…they leave rubbish everywhere & want to buy my dog for £250
It's the fifth time this year a traveller group has taken over the same park CARAVAN CHAOS Huge Traveller fleet has set up camp outside our homes…they leave rubbish everywhere & want to buy my dog for £250 Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A HUGE traveller fleet has set up camp outside taxpayers' homes, leaving "stinking" piles of rubbish scattered around a much-loved park, locals claim. Dozens of caravans and other vehicles arrived at Swanshurst Park on the border of Moseley, Birmingham, last Sunday (July 20). Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 A fleet of traveller caravans arrived at Swanshurst Park last Sunday Credit: SWNS 8 Rubbish is seen strewn across a patch of grass in the camp Credit: SWNS 8 Sandra Cotterill is annoyed the council clears the rubbish but won't collect taxpayers' bins Credit: SWNS It's the fifth such incursion at the same spot this year - and angry residents say this one is the biggest yet. People say they're annoyed the council regularly clears away the group's rubbish with the city in the midst of a months-long bin collection strike. One resident claims a traveller keeps trying to buy his designer French bulldog for £250. The Friends of Swanshurst Park Facebook group says the travellers gained access by moving a large log and driving in past bike racks. Mum-of-two Rabai Tahir, who lives opposite the park, moved to the UK from Dubai with her husband five years ago and is 'astonished' travellers are allowed to keep coming back. They leave lots of rubbish bags and some of it stinks. It's cleaned up by my council tax money. I don't allow my kids to go over to the play park when they're there. We don't know who they are. Rabai Tahir 'They leave lots of rubbish bags and some of it stinks,' she told The Sun. 'It's cleaned up by my council tax money. "I don't allow my kids to go over to the play park when they're there. We don't know who they are. 'It's shocking for me and my husband that people can stay here for weeks. It's a community park.' Sandra Cotterill has lived opposite the park for 19 years. She said: 'I've had no trouble with them, they never bother me. Some people don't want to take their kids and dogs there." However, she is annoyed that the local authority makes such an effort to clear the group's rubbish when thousands in the city have seen their own rubbish pile up for months. Inside Birmingham's bin wars as strikes see streets overrun with RATS and piles of rotting food and rubbish are left to fester Sandra said: 'They bag up all the rubbish and the council cleans it all away. "We're paying our taxes, and we can't get our bin bags picked up, but they get theirs taken.' Birmingham has been hit by long-running bin strikes. Piles of rubbish have been seen in parts of the city since bin collection workers walked out in January. Sandra's neighbour, who has lived in the area for 40 years and walks her dogs in the park, said residents are getting fed up with different traveller groups constantly coming and going. The woman, who did not want to be named, said: 'They clear them off and a week later another different group comes here. "I keep away from them, they take over the park really. We're all just fed up. 'Travellers move the logs. We need a permanent solution to stop them coming onto the park. "The amount of money the council must spend tidying up is ridiculous.' Another man who, who says he's been offered money for his pet, added: 'They're all right, they're not bad people and I've got Irish in my family. 2025 Birmingham bin strike The Birmingham bin strike is an ongoing stand off between refuse workers and Birmingham City Council over pay and the removal of roles. It started in January 2025 and full scale industrial action was then taken from March 11, involving members of Unite union. The same month, the local authority declared a major incident after 17,000 tonnes of rubbish were left uncollected on the city's streets. In April, the government was forced to call in Army specialists to provide logistical support. This month, Unite said it would review its relationship with the Labour Party after the government expressed support for the council amid the strike. According to reports, lower income areas, including Sparkhill, Balsall Heath, Small Heath, Sparkbrook and Ladywood have suffered the greatest compared to more affluent suburbs like Harborne and Edgbaston. On Friday (July 25), a second megapicket co-ordinated by Strike Map started across several parts of Birmingham, involving 26 organisations from across the trade union movement, in support of the striking workers. Former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn urged Birmingham City Council to 'get a deal now' as more piles of rubbish were left uncollected. 'I don't like the mess though and my kids can't use the park when they're around.' One resident, a new mum, added: 'They make a mess, but it doesn't bother me. A lot of people here don't like it because the park is for children and it restricts them from using it.' This week the admin of the volunteer-run Swanshurst Park Facebook group posted: 'Spent another couple of hours clearing up litter round the Park. "I'm fairly sure that some of it was nothing to do with the Travellers and had been dropped last night by other people traversing the Park. 'Had some good interactions with some of the women who thanked me for my efforts and assured they would bag up their rubbish. "We will see but I am sure it will be better than on previous occasions. "Some of the children wanted to help me and I am sure this must be the way forward to get a dialogue going.' A council spokesperson said: "Birmingham City Council is committed to actively protecting its land and will take steps to recover this land where unauthorised encampments encroach upon it. "The council has useable transit sites and plots for use by the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller community – which is in line with Government policy – and details of the Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment carried out and updated in 2019 can be found on our website." 8 Some locals are worried about letting their kids use the playpark, which sits next to the camp Credit: SWNS 8 It's the fifth time travellers have taken over the park this year Credit: SWNS 8 Children from the camp in the park this week Credit: SWNS 8 Dozens of caravans are currently parked up Credit: SWNS

Casualty's Kellie Shirley reveals 'struggling' with heartbreaking storyline
EXCLUSIVE: Kellie Shirley shocked Casualty fans when she bowed out of the BBC medical drama, but the actress admits one storyline affected her for one moving reason A Casualty star has revealed that a heartbreaking storyline left them struggling. Kellie Shirley first appeared on the BBC medical drama last year, playing psychiatric liaison nurse, Sophia Peters, and she made quite the impact. Despite only appearing on the show for several months, Sophia became a firm fan favourite after making Dr Dylan Keogh open up like never before, finding love. In a twist that fans hadn't seen coming, Sophia told Dylan she was pregnant with their child, leaving the doctor completely stunned, with him being vocal about his fears of becoming a dad. Due to his fears, he suggested that Sophia have a termination, something she was initially hesitant about, having felt as though she was alone. But while Dylan was being held in police custody, having been arrested for manslaughter by gross negligence after he treated Thea, who died after a car smashed into a restaurant, Sophia made the decision to terminate their child, having spent hours trying to call him, unaware he was locked up. Things, however, changed rapidly. Dylan soon realised that he wanted to have the child, and even gifted Sophia a bib, unaware that she had taken the first abortion pill. When she informed him of the news, she also revealed she was leaving Holby and had taken a job elsewhere, leaving him utterly devastated. "I struggled with that storyline," Kellie told the Mirror. She went on to add: "I mean, I'd only recently had my baby, and my hormones were all over the place. Yeah, I found it difficult." But looking back, she admits Sophia should have realised something was amiss when Dylan didn't pick up the call. "She knew that he was a doctor and of course, he'd have been in surgery or all sorts of things. But it's a drama, it's a continuing drama, and it's not real life." Before Kellie joined the programme, it had briefly touched on the topic of mental health. "Mental health is so spoken about now, isn't it? And it's so important," she explained. The former EastEnders star continued: "Everybody, since COVID, since the pandemic, has experienced mental health issues. How could you not? Being in lockdown, being shut away, not knowing about your family members. I mean, everybody experienced it." She added that despite the heartache some faced during the pandemic and various lockdowns, it enabled people to break the taboo and speak openly about mental health. Kellie said: "One of the good things about that experience was that people were talking about mental health more, won't they? I suppose that's the silver lining from something so awful. And so for the BBC to bring this psychiatric liaison nurse, bossing it, was really exciting for me." The role, however, also had a different meaning for Kellie, who in previous roles has not had a full-time profession. "And I very rarely get cast as somebody who's got a job, somebody who is a professional," she commented, before continuing: "And that was something that was really exciting for me and fair play to Kohn Cannon, he's the casting guy at the BBC, who got me in the room for it, because I was doing a chat on this thing called BAFTA Elevate that I was part of, and it was about working class actors who hit his glass ceiling, or always up for the same, playing the same parts. "I love playing those parts, of course, I do, but I wanted to be challenged a bit more, and he saw me do this. Talk, and then he got me in the room for this part. So thank you, John Cannon." Kellie has just written and starred in a short film, Croydon Cowgirl, set in Barry, South Wales, focusing on the life of two lonely strangers. Speaking about the career change, Kellie revealed that she was part of a roundtable with Stephen Graham at a BAFTA Elevate event, who offered invaluable advice. She said that the Liverpudlian explained that actors shouldn't moan if they want to play a certain part, and if a script doesn't appear, they should write it themselves. "It just kind of dawned on me that all the people that I really respect have created it themselves. It was a lightbulb moment. "I just started writing with a friend of mine, Phoebe Barron, and we work really well together. We've got three other projects that we're working on. Croydon Cowgirl is doing various BAFTA BIFA (British Independent Film Awards) qualifying festivals, we're developing it into a feature film, which is really exciting!" The actress is also set to play all seven characters in the production, Two, at Greenwich Theatre between August 21 and September 12, with Peter Caulfield playing all the male characters. Kellie, who is an ambassador for Anthony Nolan, is part of the Omaze Million Pound House draw campaign for the charity. "Ever since I was in EastEnders, I ran the marathon for them in 2008," she said. Kellie added: "I went to see the amazing work that they were doing with stem cell transplants, and I've met so many people along the way, at different events, and really seeing firsthand the work they do. "They literally give people a second chance at life if you have blood cancer, the proof's in the pudding. And when you hear people's stories, you cannot help but have that connection and want to raise awareness and do as much as you can for the charity, because without them, it'd be really quite frightening. "I think it's four people every day they help, who have blood cancer and can save their life because of the register." She explained that the trust has five locations, where umbilical cords can be donated to extract stem cells from the blood to offer a stem cell transplant. "There's Kings, where I donated all my children's umbilical cords," she said. Her son, Louis's cord, was used for somebody who had blood cancer. "For the umbilical cord to be used, otherwise it would have been chucked away at birth, which is scandalous. I think you've got something that is completely pure, rich, and natural, and it can save someone's life. "To have these umbilical cords harvested, I know they have to pick certain hospitals that have a demographic that is very mixed, which is why it's London, Leicester, and Manchester, but yeah, I find it scandalous. It's brilliant that you give life, you can save a life, anyone who is pregnant, is having their baby at Kings or in Manchester and Leicester, please consider donating your umbilical cord, don't eat it, just donate it." Kellie Shirley is an Anthony Nolan Ambassador and is backing the charity's partnership with Omaze, which is giving away a luxury contemporary home in Cheshire worth £4 million - along with £250,000 in cash – to raise money for the charity. Draw entries are available now on their website. T he Draw closes at midnight Sunday, July 27th.

I didn't know much about Oasis - I still left Wembley in tears
When I found out I was going to see Oasis, it felt like winning a golden ticket to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory – only to remember I've never had much of a sweet tooth. Growing up in the U.S., Oasis were 'those guys who sang Wonderwall,' a song so overplayed and parodied it barely registered as music anymore. I honestly thought they were a one-hit wonder – a British meme band people pretended to like for the bit. So when I moved to the UK and realised that Oasis aren't just a band here, but a cultural institution, I was baffled. How could something so massive not have translated to the States, when we're famously greedy for British exports? We'll take your Shakespeare, your Love Island, your Paddington, but somehow not your Gallagher brothers? Every time I tried to listen to Oasis, it felt like walking into a house of worship for a religion I didn't belong to. The symbols were familiar, the rituals recognisable, but the meaning escaped me. I always concluded the same thing: Oasis is so rooted in its Britishness that it struggles to stand alone outside that context, and unlike the Arctic Monkeys or other UK exports, the music itself isn't quite strong enough to overcome that cultural specificity. But if Oasis is a religion, then Friday night at Wembley was my spiritual awakening. It began with Liam and Noel Gallagher walking on stage hand-in-hand, a moment that sent the crowd into such a frenzy I genuinely thought I was witnessing a world-historical reconciliation – 'Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall, ' but with more bucket hats. Behind them, a montage of media headlines played, charting the road to their reunion. As I tried to read them, I noticed with genuine shock that the men around me – mostly in their forties – were openly weeping. I felt like an imposter. Like a lifelong, Buddhist receiving a blessing from the Pope: Was this moment wasted on me? Liam – bucket hat pulled so low he could've wandered through the crowd unnoticed – was relentlessly on-brand: tambourine in his mouth, mid-song gestures for someone to fetch him a drink, radiating pure cheeky swagger. But it wasn't the chaotic bravado that's landed him in trouble before. It felt authentic, playful, and even self-aware. His voice was strong, precise, and melodic. I'd never found him impressive on record, but in that moment, I got that this is how he's meant to be heard: backed by a tidal wave of fans scream-singing every word back at him like a battle cry. Astonishingly, all but three of the 23 songs played came from a blistering 18-month period between 1994 and 1995, making the evening a concentrated portrait of a hyper-specific period of time. Noel's solo section was unexpectedly moving. The Masterplan and Little by Little reminded everyone who the melodic architect really is, while Half the World Away, dedicated to The Royle Family ('not that royal family, the real f***ing Royle Family,' he clarified), lit up the stadium in a sea of swaying phone lights. Liam returned for Live Forever, dedicated to the late Ozzy Osbourne, whose face was projected on the screens in an unexpectedly touching acknowledgement of the shoulders Oasis stood on to reach such great heights. The crowd – who started at energy level 10 and ended somewhere around unhinged – was the friendliest I've ever encountered at a show. There was a jittery, reverent alertness to them, the energy of people who had spent too much money, waited too many months, and weren't going to miss a single second. In front of me, a group of forty-something men who proudly told me they'd known each other since secondary school in Leeds had reunited from all corners of the UK after fighting tooth and nail for tickets. They cried. They hugged. They threw beer. One of them, too drunk to stand still, barely faced the stage. Arms flung over his head, head tilted back, he grinned like a man reborn. It was as if to say: I don't need to see it, I just need to feel it. And he did. But did I? Oasis's music is inseparable from the moment it emerged: mid-'90s Britain, all swagger and denim and cigarettes in the rain. If you were a teenager then, I doubt you can see them objectively, and if you weren't there, I'm not sure you ever truly get it. I accept that. They captured a version of Britain when things felt possible: Cool Britannia, Blair before the disillusionment, Britpop dominating the charts, football in renaissance, and an economy that still promised upward mobility. They were Beatlesy, but stripped of the naivety. Less dreamy, more laddish. They felt like the natural continuation of something proudly, specifically British in a moment when globalization was eroding cultural edges. Still, most of their music sounds… fine to me. Competent. Catchy. But not great. Then again, I love plenty of music that sounds unremarkable to others. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. And if I can't see past my own biases, I certainly can't fault anyone else for theirs. At one point, the man next to me noticed I was taking notes and asked what I was doing. When I explained I was reviewing the show, he appointed himself Oasis's unofficial spokesperson. 'This one's a B-side,' he said semi-defensively during Acquiesce, 'but it's for the real fans. It might be hard to understand… maybe even boring to you but…' I reassured him I was having an excellent time, which was true. But more than that, it felt borderline disrespectful not to have a great time while witnessing a night many people would remember as one of the best of their lives. So I gave in. I leaned into the energy. And before long, I was on the shoulders of a father of three from Newcastle – whose name was either Tom or Greg – scream-singing Rock 'n' Roll Star like I, too, was from Northumberland and had shared my first kiss to it in 1996. As I began to understand – physically, emotionally, viscerally – the big deal about this band, things only ramped up. Liam called Wonderwall a 'wretched song' but sang it anyway. The communal roar that followed felt like the ghosts of 90,000 people's youths materialising for four minutes and sixteen seconds. Tom or Greg cried without embarrassment, clinging to the neck of his lifelong friend ('This bloke right here, since we was ten!') who beamed so hard I thought his face might split. Then came Champagne Supernova, fireworks exploding over Wembley. More Trending Liam closed the night with: 'Nice one for making this happen. It's good to be f***ing back.' Somehow, in the context, it felt like a Shakespearan monologue. I left Wembley exhausted, elated, and – somehow – converted. Still, if you weren't a teenager in 1996, I'm not sure you can ever fully understand what Oasis means to their fans. They're too embedded in a specific moment, a particular British mythology that doesn't translate easily. But on Friday night, I brushed up against it and realised it's not that Oasis's deep entanglement with British culture holds them back from being one of the world's greatest rock bands – it's precisely what makes them so special.
