In 2017, chart-topping BFFs Rita Ora and Charli XCX were reprimanded by Glastonbury staff after she raced around the festival in a van with the doors wide open in the middle of the night.
The duo were partying with Diplo ahead of his intimate set at the Gas Tower stage when they decided to mess about and pretend they were in Fast and Furious.
Opening up about the incident, a sheepish Charli admitted while it was fun at the time it wasn’t a good idea.
She told Daily Star Online: “At Glastonbury 2017 me and Rita were in the back of a van with Diplo in the middle of the night.
“We were driving to some other DJ set that he was really late for.
“I thought it would be a really good idea to open the back doors of the van as we were driving for some crazy reason. It wasn’t a good idea.”
The Boys songstress continued: “Nothing fell out and we were having a good time but then the police, the security, sort of got really really angry and we all got taken out of the car.
“I made everyone really late for the set because I thought I was in Fast and Furious.
“When me and Rita get together we definitely like to go for it. Full throttle.”

Lily Allen is almost as well known for her love of partying as she is for her music.
However, in 2015 things took a sinister turn when she collapsed in the VIP area of Glastonbury and needed medical attention.
Onlookers told how Lily’s “eyes rolled in her head after she crumpled face-down in the grass”.
Concerned friends quickly rushed to help her before festival security guards summoned paramedics.
An onlooker told The Sun at the time: “She was out of it, she didn’t know where she was. Her friends were saying, ‘You all right?’ and trying to give her water.
“Her eyes were rolling and her chin was moving from side to side, chewing constantly.”
The festival goer added: “At about 9pm Lily was round by the DJ booth. She looked out of her box. It was really hot in there.

“Then she went outside to sit down on the grass. Gradually, she bent over, then slid forward to lie face-down in the filthy grass.
“Her friends started getting worried. They called the security guards over.
“Lily wasn’t responding. There were about 30 people trying to see what was happening, so her friends picked her up and put her in the back of a people carrier.
“They left the door open so she could get some air. The security guards called for paramedics to come over.
“They arrived within ten minutes and got in the back with her.”
Taking to social media this week Lily hinted at the dark episode after sharing a string of throwback snaps from her times at Glastonbury through the years.
Alongside pics of her performing at Glastonbury 2014, Lily wrote: “And here’s me at Glastonbury in 2014 just before things really started to fall apart.
“It’s hard for me to look at these but I feel like I’ve come so far since then and I am so much happier and healthier.”

“It was really awkward. Brooklyn came over to try and keep the peace.
“He said to David: ‘Don’t worry dad I’ll get you a drink.’ He then ordered him a double gin and tonic.”
