Rita Ora has passed her driving test after spending more than a decade taking lessons

Rita Ora has finally passed her driving test.

The 35-year-old pop star has spent years taking lessons and has now confirmed she's a fully fledged driver by sharing a picture showing herself holding her new certificate and posing next to her Dollar Driving School car in Los Angeles.

Rita shared a series of images from the last few days on Instagram and wrote: "It's been a week".

The singer was first pictured taking driving lessons back in 2014 after her then-boyfriend, DJ Calvin Harris, reportedly bought her a £100,000 car to encourage her to learn to drive after they moved in together in Los Angeles.

A source told The Sun newspaper at the time: "Rita’s never needed to worry about getting around before – it’s either taxis, the Tube or walking. That’s not the way it happens in LA. Unless you have a car, doing anything is impossible.

"She doesn’t want to have to rely on Calvin to be designated driver."

However, Rita had to wait another 12 years to pass her test.
