I have been told that the Anywhere hitmaker is set to spread her wings after it was announced she had signed to the huge US firm Range Media in October.
A fashion insider said: 'Rita and Kate are still pals, but the time has come for them to do their own thing when it comes to business.
'Rita recently signed with Range, which handles all areas of her career — including music, film, TV and brand deals.
'It made sense for Rita to part ways with the Kate Moss Agency and have all of her deals in one place.

'Kate has been a great mentor and Rita has learned a great deal from her modelling experience.'
Speaking about the supermodel in 2018, Rita said: 'Kate has always been a mentor and life-long friend.
'It's a real honour to be working with her.
'An inspiration'
'I have watched her career and business grow and establish itself as one of the most important and recognisable brands.

The singer had previously said of Kate: 'She's one of the most normal, nicest, motherly, caring people on the planet.'
Rita became the face of Pepe Jeans' campaign in 2023 through Mossy's agency, with the brand's ad set to her track, Don't Think Twice.

The model is Kate's goddaughter — and she dates photographer Sascha Von Bismarck, who is the brother of Kate's ex-boyfriend Nikolai.

She revealed: 'My wonderful fiance is positive he saw that Playboy when he was a teenager and was like, 'I'd quite like to marry a Playboy bunny'. And it turns out he is marrying a Playboy bunny.'
Daisy said on the The Savoy Originals podcast: 'Now I'm a bit older I'm really happy I did Playboy.
'It was always on my bucket list.
'I'm pleased that if I live until the ripe old age of 90 I can look back and go, 'Oh, look what I did once'.'
The mum of one did have a complaint, though: 'The thing I didn't appreciate was the retouching.
'What's the point in booking me if you don't want a feminine body?
'It's Playboy. I'm allowed to have hips.'
Agreed.

But now she has thrown in the towel to focus on her career in the US and appear on the American series as a mega mentor alongside Sheryl Crow.
A source said: 'LeAnn loved her time on the UK show, but wants to focus on her career in the States.
'She was hugely popular with cast and crew and everybody loved having her as part of the team.
'Bosses are currently on the lookout for another female singer to join the all-star line-up.
'They haven't made a decision just yet but are having conversations.
'The show will film its 14th series later this summer.
'Producers know they've had some amazing names so far, from Olly Murs to Anne-Marie, so they want to secure someone who will cause a lot of excitement around the show and bring a new energy to the competition.'
LeAnn's exit follows confirmation that Danny Jones WILL return to the panel, alongside his McFLY bandmate
Series veterans Sir Tom Jones and Wil.I.Am will also resume their roles.
GLASTO will get a magic touch when it returns next month – in the form of a set from Dynamo.
The magician – real name Steven Frayne – told me he has been speaking to festival founder
He said: 'I'm going to Glastonbury and can't wait.'
Dynamo also revealed Usher saw him at his show in London's Soho, adding: 'That was pretty great.'
Let's hope the illusionist can magic the rain away from Worthy Farm.

Rita Ora teams up with Netflix to secretly record new song for massive series
Find out which A-list rapper and singer appeared in the ring at WWE's Summerslam STAR'S NEW TRACK Rita Ora teams up with Netflix to secretly record new song for massive series RITA ORA sure has her fingers in a lot of pies. I can reveal the singer/actress/presenter has recorded a new song for the upcoming second series of Netflix hit Love Is Blind UK. Sources tell me Joy is a powerful track about finding inner peace and is expected to be released in the coming days. Rather than being on her upcoming fourth album, Joy will be a stand-alone song that will debut in a TV trailer for the dating show then drop on Spotify and Amazon Music. A source said: 'It's no secret that Rita loves love so she jumped at the chance to record a track for Love Is Blind UK. Joy is very much a mini side-project rather than being part of the new album. 'The song will be used on the show and be available to stream but there are no plans for a video or to send it to radio.' Honestly, I don't know when Rita finds the time. 7 Rita Ora has recorded a new song for the upcoming second series of Netflix hit Love Is Blind UK Credit: Getty MARIAH'S PRIDE 'N' JOY 7 Mariah Carey glitters as she hits the stage to headline Brighton Pride Credit: Getty 7 American diva Mariah in a shiny ombre dress and pink jacket Credit: Getty MARIAH CAREY glittered in front of thousands of fans in four different figure-hugging outfits as she hit the stage to headline Brighton Pride. The American diva arrived in a shiny ombre dress and pink jacket, which featured the phrase 'protect the dolls' on the back, as she pledged her support to the trans community. Later, during her 90-minute set, she changed into another dazzling minidress, as well as a gold shift and floor-length black gown. Mariah told the crowd: 'The LGBTQ+ family, both as a community and as individuals have been here for me for so long. I just want you to know that I'll always, always be there for you.' Mariah Carey, 56, wears FOUR figure-hugging outfits and puts on leggy display as she headlines Brighton Pride The show, which featured hits including Fantasy and her new single Sugar Sweet, topped off a day of festivities, ahead of the second day yesterday which was headlined by Sugababes. Earlier on Saturday, Attitude magazine kicked off the annual event with a party at the i360 tower which was attended by Dame Kelly Holmes, Caity Baser and Rob Rinder. CARDI'S FLOP RAP 7 Cardi B is preparing to go fight or flight in this bird-themed feathered outfit Credit: Splash LOOKS like Cardi B is preparing to go fight or flight in this bird-themed feathered outfit. The rapper looked ready for take-off as she entered the ring to kick off the opening night of the WWE Summerslam 2025 wrestling extravaganza in New Jersey on Saturday. But rather than singing or fighting, Cardi was simply there to launch the event, teasing music from her upcoming second album Am I The Drama? As she strutted to the ring, a new Cardi track was blasted through the stadium, sending fans into a meltdown online. Her long-awaited follow-up to 2018's Invasion Of Privacy is out on September 19. Hope it's worth the wait. GAGA IN TRIBUTE TO OZZY 7 Lady Gaga reached out to Kelly Osbourne's family Credit: Getty DESPITE being in the middle of a world tour, Lady Gaga is finding time to support others. I'm told she was so moved by the death of Ozzy Osbourne that she sent a huge bouquet to his grieving wife Sharon and the family. The move is a full-circle moment for the two women after Sharon branded the hitmaker an attention-seeker in 2013. That came after Gaga locked horns with her daughter Kelly Osbourne after she criticised the singer for not stopping to greet fans. A source said: 'The flowers must have cost hundreds but Gaga wanted to reach out. 'Gaga has always been a huge fan of Ozzy and the Osbournes – before she was famous she even used to strip to Black Sabbath's Black Sabbath. "She once told Ozzy – he found it hilarious.' The kind gesture comes after Gaga closed her San Francisco show last month by belting out Ozzy's 1980 hit Crazy Train as a tribute. CHAPPELL SLINKS IN 7 Chappell Roan slipped into Oasis's latest London gig undetected Credit: Getty - Contributor SHE'S one of the biggest stars on the planet, but Chappell Roan was able to slip into Oasis's latest London gig undetected. The singer, who released new single The Subway last week, was seen in the crowd at Wembley on Saturday – singing away to the hits. Frank Lampard and Nicole Appleton also snubbed a swanky suite to mix with regular fans. OASIS fever is still sweeping the UK. Yesterday the Y Not Festival in Derbyshire was forced to upgrade tribute act Noasis to the main stage. They were due to play an 800-capacity slot but bosses had a rethink after more than double that number of guests saved the slot on their festival app. The Diana Mixtape musical @ Outernet, London ★★★★☆ 7 Hear'Say's Noel Sullivan and actress Lucinda Lawrence Credit: Supplied YOU might think a stage musical about Princess Diana would be sad, yet The Diana Mixtape is anything but. With five world-class drag queens from RuPaul's Drag Race playing the People's Princess while singing classics from Kylie, Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish, it's utterly joyous from start to finish. The crowd at Outernet London lapped it up. A shout out also needs to go to Hear'Say's Noel Sullivan and actress Lucinda Lawrence, for their Charles and Camilla romp to Dua Lipa's Physical. Hilarious. Greatest Showman star Keala Settle brought even more fun as Elizabeth II, but ultimately it was the queens who shone brightest. It's on at Outernet until Sunday then The Lowry, Salford, from August 19-21. OLIVIA RODRIGO's 2021 album Sour is still breaking records. The release has become the first album on Spotify to have four songs with more than two billion streams each. Traitor, Drivers License, Deja Vu and Good 4 U have all passed the milestone. Not bad for an album the US star wrote when she was just 17.

My mum was a school dinner lady – here's here 4 ingredient recipe for a nostalgic childhood classic
A TIKTOKER has gone viral after sharing her mum's iconic four-ingredient recipe for a school dinner pudding that's bound to bring back memories. 3 An ex-dinner lady has shared her recipe for a childhood school classic Credit: Tiktok/ @kate_keo 3 The dessert only uses four ingredients Credit: Tiktok/ @kate_keo And judging by the comments, she's unlocked a core childhood memory for a lot of Brits. If you grew up in the UK, chances are you remember whacking your spoon through a slab of this chocolate concrete in the dinner hall, often with a big dollop of pink custard on the side. 'This is just like the one we had at school,' one viewer said. 'Can't believe how easy it is.' Read more on recipes Another added: 'It's not school dinners without chocolate concrete and pink custard! For anyone unfamiliar, chocolate concrete was a staple of British school dinners from the 1970s through to the early 2000s. It's a hard, crunchy chocolate traybake that almost always came served with vibrant pink custard, adding a sweet contrast to its dense texture. It's known for being so tough, you needed a strong spoon, or sheer willpower, to break through it. Most read in Fabulous But fans of the pudding say that's all part of the charm. Now, thanks to Kate and her mum, who used to be a And the best bit is it tastes exactly like the one you had in school. The simple chocolate cake recipe using only TWO ingredients - it's sweet and you won't even need to put it in the oven Kate said: 'This was one of my favourites, it brings back all the memories. We had so many requests for this recipe, and I can see why!' To make it, you only need plain flour, sugar, cocoa powder and melted butter. The dry ingredients get mixed together until they resemble a crumbly mess. 'It looks like mud,' Kate joked, as they pressed the mixture into a tray. A sprinkle of water and sugar over the top gives it that signature crunch once baked. After half an hour in the oven, it comes out smelling amazing and rock solid, just like it should. 'It cuts best while it's still hot,' Kate said, showing off a perfect square of chocolate concrete. 'It's school in a bite.' Fans flooded the comments saying how much they loved the nostalgic bake, with one person writing: 'This is EXACTLY how I remember it!'. Another added: 'Please make pink custard next, I forgot how much I loved that combo.' A third said: "One follower commented: 'We used to race to be first in line for this at school. It's legendary.' Kate teased she might share the recipe for chocolate crunch next, which is a slightly softer school favourite made with eggs, but it's the concrete version that's got everyone talking. TikTok has become a hotspot for nostalgic food trends lately, with creators reviving everything from cornflake tart to spam fritters, but chocolate concrete continues to top the list as a childhood favourite. With the summer holidays in full swing, this is the perfect treat to whip up with the kids or just for a throwback afternoon tea. Just make sure you've got a strong spoon and maybe a side of pink custard, for old time's sake. Method 3 The chocolate concrete dessert is easy to make Credit: Alamy Here's how to make it. First preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/gas mark 4). Then grease a square baking tin (around 9–10 inches) with butter or line with baking paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, sugar, and cocoa powder. Mix well until everything is evenly combined – it should look like a dry, crumbly mixture. Then you will want to pour in the melted butter and mix again until it resembles a thick crumble texture. It won't look like a typical cake batter but that's exactly how it should be. Tip the mixture into the tin and press it down firmly using the back of a spoon or your hands. Really compress it so it's packed in tight as this helps it harden into that classic "concrete" texture. Drizzle a small amount of cold water over the top, then sprinkle over a little extra sugar. This gives it that signature crisp topping. Then bake it in the oven for 30 minutes. You'll know it's ready when it smells rich and chocolatey and feels firm on top. As soon as it comes out, cut it into squares while still hot, it'll harden fast as it cools. You'll want to serve it warm if you like it soft in the middle or let it cool completely for that full crunchy, authentic school pudding texture. Ingredients For 12 slices, you will need: 300g plain flour 300g granulated sugar 60g cocoa powder 150g melted butter A little cold water (for sprinkling) Extra sugar (for topping)
