THEY are both newly-single singers, but Rita Ora and Zayn Malik tried to keep a low profile as they met up for an intimate dinner date last night.

The 24-year-old British songstress and the 22-year-old former One Direction star were spotted arriving in the same car before surreptitiously sneaking into Koi restaurant in West Hollywood.
Rita cut a casual figure in a pair of dark skinny jeans and a blingy backless pink top which highlighted her curvaceous figure.
Zayn also dressed down in a grungy AC/DC t-shirt and a garish blue and yellow baseball jacket which clashed somewhat with his mint green dyed quiff.
Both parties kept mysteriously quiet about the evening on social media, and Rita rushed into the Japanese eatery as she uncharacteristically tried to go unnoticed.

Days earlier, Rita was questioned about the former boy band heartthrob during an interview on Capital FM, and quizzed on whether she would consider dating him.
After a long pause, Rita stammered: "Zayn, he's gorgeous, but, I just…"
The musical duo are both represented by the same management firm and Rita seemed to think that mixing business with pleasure could spell disaster.
The new X Factor judge then added: "That can't happen. We're on the same management team, too close to that. But no, he's great."
Rita has been enjoying single life since she split from on-off beau Ricky Hil, the son of designer Tommy Hilfiger, back in July.

Meanwhile, Zayn sensationally dumped former fiancée and Little Mix star Perrie Edwards, reportedly via text, that same month.
However, an inside source at the restaurant claimed that there was nothing romantic going on between Rita and Zayn.
"They were both at a dinner organised by a member of their management team," the source told the Daily Mail.
"There was a group of artists and staff from Turn First at the get together. There is nothing going on between Rita and Zayn."
Express.co.uk has contacted Rita and Zayn's representatives for comment.
