Earlier in the day, the pop princess spoke candidly about her mum Vera Sahatciu’s current situation during an appearance on Extra, which she made via video link on Wednesday.

The singer explained that she sees the impact of the global pandemic ‘first-hand’ through her ‘hero’ mother, 55, and said things have been ‘frantic’ and ‘crazy.’

Rita said: ‘People are coming in sick more than ever, especially the elderly. My mother’s been pushed forward.

‘She’s actually a psychiatrist and so for her to have to rush to the emergency is not obviously her day-to-day thing, so as you can see they are that desperate to have all different types of doctors helping from all over.’ 

Going on to talk about how her mother unwinds after a tough day at work, Rita went on: ‘She comes home, takes her clothes off, jumps straight into the shower. It’s a different way of living for right now.’

Candid: Rita admitted that seeing the coronavirus crisis first-hand has been 'crazy' but gushed about 'hero' mother Vera returning to work amid the pandemic

Rita has also signed up as a volunteer for the NHS as it’s ‘nice to also be able to help’, though she said of her concerns: ‘I think every day for her is a risk… I get a bit fearful and say, “If you don’t feel up to it you can stay home…” 

‘She feels obliged as a doctor to go and lend her services… I check in and say, “How are you feeling? Please keep your distance…”

‘It’s scary, but for her she believes in God and faith… She really is a hero for me.’
