But before checking-in,  the Rehab singer, 27, reportedly drank a miniature bottle of Smirnoff vodka which she purchased at local store.

A customer at The Meadway Food and Wine Store in Southgate, North London, told The Sun Newspaper: “She seemed out of it. She was stumbling about, slurring her words.

“I was shocked to see her buy vodka so early in the day and even more shocked to see her knock it straight back.”
