Rita Ora is reportedly dating Tommy Hilfiger's son following her recent split from Calvin Harris.

The I Will Never Let You Down hitmaker is said to have been been getting close to rapper Ricky Hil, the 24-year-old son of the prolific American fashion designer.

Ricky is said to be spending more time in London to be with Rita, 23, and the budding couple were spotted holding hands over dinner at Nobu on Saturday night, before heading off for party time at the Drury Club.

A source told the Daily Mirror: 'Ricky came over to Europe to hang with Rita a bit more this summer. They really hit it off when they met and really like each other, so Rita invited him over to join her. They want to see where things might take them - they're just having a lot of fun.'

While Rita appears smitten with her new beau, it seems pals of the singer are less enthusiastic as they are wary of Ricky's bad boy past - including an arrest for cannabis possession in 2010.

The insider added: 'He's a bit of a bad boy and a real world away from clean-cut Calvin. He openly boasts about smoking weed all the time on Twitter and has released mix-tapes called Support Your Local Drug Dealer. People are worried he might not be the best influence on Rita right now.'

And the new pals have wasted no time in making their close friendship known on social media, with Ricky taking to his Instagram page last week to post an amorous snap of the twosome cuddled up together.

Rita and Calvin called time on their year-long relationship last month, and it's since been claimed the Scottish DJ ended the couple's relationship because the singer made a secret trip to Los Angeles.

The music producer was reportedly left unimpressed when his then-girlfriend appeared vague about her whereabouts when the pair flew into the US for separate visits at the same time - and was left furious when he coincidentally used the same driver as the I Will Never Let You Down hitmaker.

A source told The Sun: 'It all ended when the driver suggested to Calvin that he had taken Rita to a hotel two days earlier instead of driving her to stay with him.'

The Acceptable in the 80s hitmaker was said to be suspicious that Rita had even hidden in her make-up artist's hotel room for the day to avoid being photographed in public, which would have alerted Calvin to her presence.

But Rita appeared to make her feelings known on Monday night, when she enjoyed an evening in with her pals - while sporting a rather offensive motif jumper.

Writing on her Twitter page, she said: 'I don't usually address speculation but I've had an incredible time w Calvin,& i will treasure the memories.

'I've moved on from this topic so i hope people will respect that and do the same. Life can only be understood backwards but it must be lived forwards.(sic)'

Rita was said to have been left rather red-faced after learning that her relationship with Calvin Harris was over via Twitter.

The Scottish DJ took to the social networking site over the weekend to announce the couple's year-long romance was over, but it's been claimed the I Will Never Let You Down hitmaker was unaware her beau was going to release the statement.

A source told The Sun: 'Rita was left embarrassed when he tweeted that it was all over. She didn't think he was going to make the announcement, so she was shocked.'

After being spotted out and about in Hollywood with a series of women over the past few weeks, Calvin, 30, took to his Twitter page to address the rumour mill.

He wrote: 'To address speculation - myself and Rita ended our relationship some time ago. She is a beautiful, talented woman & I wish her all the best. (sic)'

The couple - who collaborated on number one smash hit I Will Never Let You Down - first split in January for a couple of weeks.

Rita, 23, had also been seen partying and cosying up to other men in Instagram photographs and spent time been in Mexico with friends, including R&B singer Khalil Amir Sharieff, who was arrested in Miami with Justin Bieber earlier this year for drag racing.

The source said: 'It was Calvin's decision to end the relationship. They had been arguing for months and had grown apart. She was constantly posting snaps of her with other groups of friends and her trip to Mexico and photos of her with Khalil were the final straw.

'Calvin likes more privacy than Rita and he hated the extra attention that came with being her boyfriend.'

Meanwhile, Justin Bieber is said to have been a factor in the couple's split, with TMZ reporting the Baby hitmaker's amorous behaviour in a recording studio a few months ago was the catalyst for the end of their romance.

A source told the website: 'Word got back to Calvin, Justin and Rita got touchy feely with each other while they were in the recording studio together over the last few months.

'Calvin heard they were very affectionate - she would sit on his lap [and] he would rub her back.'

The couple were last seen together while at a taping of Watch What Happens Live in New York City at the end of April, but Rita has been publicly gushing about her man's talents after they collaborated for her latest number one.

Speaking on The Vodafone Big Top 40, she said: 'It was amazing.  I always thought it was a bad idea to work with your partner. But I'm wrong! It was actually the most liberating, free, almost cleansing experience.

'I felt like I didn't have to be anybody but myself in that room. It was so refreshing to do that.'

Rita - who previously dated Rob Kardashian - has previously addressed the difficulties associated with long-distance relationships, but admitted Calvin was her first love.

She told the Daily Mirror: 'You have to fly each other out, you just have to. Sometimes you fly for 20 hours, sometimes you only fly for five hours. It's an effort, but you make it work.

'I'm not a fan of long distance relationships. If you had a choice, you want that person with you. It makes me pretty sad. But you work with what you've got.'

Speaking to Elle magazine in February, she said: 'There are so many things. The fact that he got something out of me that I never thought I had. Yes, like falling in love. I just didn't think I had it.

'I'd never experienced it before. And I was just like in the wilderness, thinking, "Will it ever happen?"'

A representative for Rita Ora declined to comment when approached by MailOnline.

Single and ready to mingle: Calvin has been spotted out and about with a whole host of beautiful women since the split, including supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who is dating actor Jason Statham
