Rita’s previous boyfriends include Calvin Harris, Andrew Garfield, Rob Kardashian, musician Andrew Watt and Ricky Hil – the son of fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger.

She has spent much of lockdown working on new music while also enjoying time with her friends in the countryside.

But while she may have been living in luxury, Rita was left bereft as she was unable to see her mother Vera – with the pair reuniting last week in the capital.

Vera, who lives in London, returned to the NHS frontline to work in psychiatric health amid the coronavirus crisis.
