Liverpool fans pile on a confused Rita Ora demanding answers about Philippe Coutinho

She's definitely #ITK

How dull would life be without Liverpool supporters?

Whether it’s live-tracking the aeronautical movements of prospective signings, or constant ‘tributes’ to Margaret Thatcher via social media, the Anfield faithful are guaranteed to mobilise en masse in the most weird and wonderful ways.

Their current obsession is very understandably the immediate future of Philippe Coutinho. The Brazilian playmaker has made no secret of his desire to join Barcelona, but Liverpool fans are desperate to hold on to him until the end of the season at least.

So desperate it seems that they are ready to spam pop divas for answers. On Wednesday night, Rita Ora innocently shared the following message on Twitter:

It later transpired that it was to do with a single she’s bringing out with former One Direction member Liam Payne, for the Fifty Shades Freed soundtrack. But that wasn’t the immediate conclusion that Liverpool fans jumped to, oh no.

They wanted the 27-year-old songstress to give them answers about Coutinho’s future, and wanted to know whether she was about to announce his sale to Barcelona. Some more hopeful souls wondered whether she had the inside track on Lemar.

A confused Ora ended up deleted her tweet. We still reckon she’s #ITK
