While the crowd waited for Rita Ora to hit the Radio 1 Biggest Weekend stage yesterday, little did they know the manic mayhem that was going on behind the scenes.
According to Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills, there was a lot of fuss about Rita when she arrived, with two people-carriers full of handlers arriving with the star.
He told Daily Star her in-ears werent working, so there was someone fiddling around.
However, Rita remained cool as a cucumber.
She is super professional, he said from behind the scenes. You would never know all the drama that was going on backstage. That there was a technical issue.
He noted the gaggle of people who were constantly surropunding the star as she geared up for her performance in Swansea, as he added: She has people prodding her constantly,. someone doing hair, touching up her hair and make-up.

Thats a lot of people.

The name of the 28-year-old – who passed away 20 April while in Oman – flashed up on the video screens as Rita sang their collaboration and the last song he released before his death, Lonely Together.
