Rita Ora and Taika Waititi spotted exploring Liverpool during Eurovision

Rita Ora and her husband Taika Waititi have been spotted in Liverpool together in some of the city centre's most iconic locations.

The singer performed last night at the M&S Bank Arena at the first semi-final, and it appears she and the award-winning Marvel director have been exploring the city together.

Rita is the voice behind several best-selling albums, such as Phoenix and You & I. Meanwhile, Taika has directed blockbuster Marvel films Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: Love and Thunder, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, and Jojo Rabbit, as well as starring in Avengers: Endgame and DC’s The Suicide Squad.

On May 3, Ellen Loudon, the Canon Chancellor of Liverpool Anglican Cathedral, tweeted a picture of herself and Rita Ora. She then thanked Taika for taking “such a great photo” of them.

Then, earlier today, Taika was spotted at Hope Street restaurant Papillon. Papillon posted on Instagram: “Papillon brings in the best! See you later for some more bevvies @taikawaititi yeah?”

Followers of Papillon were delighted at the news. One said: “How cool!” Another added: “Papillon is the place to be.”

Papillon on Hope Street has become a go to in recent years for those seeking some classic pub food, with its outdoor seating area incredibly popular on a sunny day. Now, it seems Hollywood may also be a fan.
