Rita Ora spends COVID-19 lockdown at a rented farmhouse 150 miles from her London home'

Rita Ora has 'left locals furious after spending the COVID-19 lockdown at a rented farmhouse 150 miles away from her London abode'.

The singer, 29, is said to be staying with five people at the rural Cotswolds property in south-west England on a trip booked prior to the coronavirus pandemic gripping the nation, with the group working on her new album. 

Rita and friends are said to have left local residents furious after they were 'shooed away' on nearby public footpaths and drones were used to 'follow them'. 

Rita's posse is also said to have been 'shouted at by a farmer' after they entered private land.

The star arrived at the farmhouse on March 21 before Prime Minister Boris Johnson put the UK on lockdown to tackle the coronavirus crisis, reports The Sun.

The publication also claims that a local wrote on an online residents' group: 'Surely she should respect the rules and have stayed in f****** London?' 
 

While a different local is said to have accused Rita's 'screaming' security staff of reducing her son, seven, 'to tears' on a public footpath nearby with a drone used to 'follow' them as they 'walked away'. 

Yet despite the alleged furore surrounding her stay, a 'friend' told the publication: 'She is deadly serious about coronavirus lockdown and doing her bit by self- isolating and not travelling home.'
