Rita Ora hits the gym for a solo workout ahead of her 'wedding to Taika Waititi'

Rita Ora, 31, looked fighting fit in the gym on Tuesday, as she gave fans a glimpse of her solo workout in the gym.

The singer - who is set to marry film director Taika Waititi, 46, this summer - showed off her toned physique in black shorts and a matching crop top, as she filmed herself with the gym to herself on her Instagram Stories.

Using There She Go (Jack Sparrow) by Darkoo as the soundtrack to her snippet, the newly-engaged star captioned the update: "Essential ps it's hard working out alone and I get bored."

Rita rocked a pair of black headphones as she held her phone - featuring a beaded accessory - up to the mirror to picture herself alongside the treadmills and other machines.

The British singer's exercise update comes just hours after her rumoured future husband shut down questions about their rumoured wedding plans during an appearance on This Morning.

Thor director Taika refused to answer Phillip Schofield's question about Rita during his cameo on Monday's edition of the ITV show to promote his latest movie - pulling his ear-piece out and pretending he could had lost connection with the studio at one point.

The movie-maker and Rita are reportedly planning their wedding together, after both stars almost simultaneously popped the question to one another.

Pals of Rita are claiming there was "no ring or big build-up" and the pair are planning a low-key wedding very soon to "formalise" their relationship.

The insider says the couple, who "couldn't be happier", will host a more glitzy showbiz bash to celebrate later in the year.

It was reported last week that the two stars will tie the knot as soon as they get a break in their busy schedules.

Chatting to Phillip and his co-host Holly Willoughby on Monday, Taika was seemingly in no mood to confirm or deny the rumours about his relationship with the British babe.

The dad-of-two appeared on the ITV show live from a London hotel suite alongside Chris Evans to promote their new film Lightyear.

Towards the end of the interview, host Phillip said: "Well, we've congratulated Chris on his birthday... so Taika are there wedding bells?"

The Marvel director quickly interrupted him and said: "You can congratulate me! It's in August! Let's talk about my birthday!"

He then proceeded to pull his ear piece out and said: "What? Sorry, you're breaking up!" before adding: "Nope, gone!" as he threw the device to one side.

Chris found the whole thing hilarious, but Phillip still tried his best to get his question in about the wedding rumours regarding Taika and Rita.

"Shall I not ask about Rita?" Phillip said as Holly remarked: "I think he can't hear us!"

"Regardless, she's gorgeous, we love her here, she's always a great guest and congratulations!" Phillip said as Taika saluted them before he and Chris were quickly taken off air.

Rita and Taika made their red carpet debut in August last year as they attended the LA premiere of The Suicide Squad.

They were even discussing marriage last year, with a source revealing Taika called Rita "wifey".

"They didn’t do a whole, ‘Will you marry me?’ thing and an Instagram post," the source told The Sun last week when discussing how wedding planning actually came about.

"There’s no ring or big build-up. They just got closer and closer and eventually said to each other almost simultaneously, ‘I want to marry you’.

"It’s actually really romantic and just exactly the way they are together."

Rita - who has previously dated newly-engaged Calvin Harris and Rob Kardashian - has never tied the knot before, while this rumoured wedding with be Taika's second time down the aisle.

The film director announced his separation from wife Chelsea Winstanley - with whom he shares two daughters with - in March 2020.

The Mirror has previously approached representatives for both Rita and Taika.
