Olivia Rodrigo stunned fans in Manchester last night after she jumped up on stage to sing in a local dive bar.
The ‘absolutely mad’ moment took place on the stage at Bunny Jackson’s on First Street.
The global superstar had performed to a sold-out audience at the O2 Apollo earlier in the evening as part of her Sour Tour.
Three-time Grammy award-winner Olivia then popped in to the intimate bar and asked to sing a song with the house band.

A video shared by Bunny Jackson’s shows the Driver’s License singer belting out a version of Natalie Imbruglia’s Torn, much to the delight of those in the bar having a Sunday night drink.

Drummer Oliver James said: “Why yes Olivia Rodrigo, of course you can turn up at Bunny Jacksons on a bloody Sunday evening and play a song for a laugh before our 3rd set.”
He then added: “It was wild. They just showed up after playing the arena and her TM asked to jump on between our sets! They were all very lovely.”

One person said: “Nahhh not me being sat outside bunny jackson’s in manchester and heard somebody singing inside to then realise it’s olivia rodrigo as she runs past us outside with her security to her car! absolutely mad.”
Someone else asked: “Did Olivia Rodrigo really pull up to Bunny Jackson’s lass night and hop on the karaoke? I’m not going insane am I?”
And another said: “Can’t believe Olivia Rodrigo was in bunny Jackson’s and sang with the bandeoke??? What the hell lol”
Olivia hit the headlines last week when she did a surprise Glastobury performance with Lily Allen.
The pair sang F*** You together, with Olivia directing the song to those who overturned Roe vs Wade in the US.
She said: “I’m devastated and terrified. So many women and so many girls are going to die because of this. I wanted to dedicate this next song to the five members of the Supreme Court who have showed us that at the end of the day, they truly don’t give a shit about freedom. The song is for the justices.”

Home Bargains has announced a special two-day closure of all UK stores
Emily Sergeant
Home Bargains has, once again, announced it’ll be closing all its UK stores on both Boxing Day and New Year’s Day this year.
And it’s to make sure staff get a ‘well deserved break’.
After what has been yet another busy year for the retail industry, many workers have been left feeling like they could do with a little extra time off, which is why Home Bargains is following on with what has become a now-annual tradition by shutting up shop on two bank holidays.
All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day & New Years Day.
Announcing the move in a post on social media, the discount retailer confirmed: “All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day and New Years Day. We would like to thank all our colleagues for how hard you have worked this past year, and want you to relax and enjoy the Christmas break with your loved ones.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time the retailer has kept its doors shut on bank holidays.
Many shoppers will recall it has made the same decision to give hardworking staff a break every year since 2019.
Explaining a little more about the decision taken to close all its stores, Home Bargains said: “As a family-run business, we know the importance of being together at Christmas with those we care about most, now more than ever.
“This is our way of saying thank you to our colleagues for their continued hard work and dedication.”

Two Greggs in Manchester will be serving their breakfast menu in the evening next week

Who says breakfast has to end at 11am?
In news that’s set to be music to the ears of breakfast lovers in Manchester, Greggs is giving them exactly what they want.
We all know that brunch is a ‘thing’ by now, so now it’s time for brinner to make a name for itself instead, as Greggs has teamed up with Heinz to bring its much-loved breakfast menu back for tea time, kicking off from 4pm onwards.
The move comes as a new survey has found that the majority of Mancs (69%) admit to enjoying eating breakfast food in the evening, saying it’s ‘convenient and comforting’ – even ranking breakfast as a ‘more important’ meal than tea, as well (38% vs 36%).

Greggs says it has ‘lost count’ of the amount of customers that have tried to order breakfast items after the usual cut-off time, especially in Greater Manchester.
But luckily for those breakfast-loving Mancs, they can finally get their favourite breakfast and sauce pairing long after the morning rush is over next… but only at two Greggs branches, and only for a very limited time.
On Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 October, the Heinz x Greggs Brinner collab will be available at Greggs St Mary’s Gate and Greggs Oxford Road, from 4-7pm only.
“We’ve lost count of the number of customers who have tried their luck ordering breakfast after 11am, so when Heinz came to us with the idea of making Brinner a reality, it felt like the perfect excuse to give the people what they want,” explained Zoe Harris, who is the Customer Director at Greggs.
“And let’s be honest, a Greggs Bacon Roll just wouldn’t be the same without a squeeze of Heinz Tomato Ketchup.”
