Songstress Rita Ora has signed up to volunteer with the NHS as the country continues to fight the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Rita, 29, has signed up alongside her sister Elena, 31, to join the health service.
Her mum, Vera Sahatciu, 55, has also returned to the NHS frontline years after she worked as a psychiatrist and GP.
The Ritual hitmaker gushed about her mum in a candid chat with Hello magazine.
Speaking about her mum, Rita said: “My mother has always been my hero, but this pandemic has honestly made her a superhero in my eyes.

“She is so brave and has been through so much on her own. Yet her generosity to help others just cements what I know what my mother is capable of.
“I’m so happy the rest of the world has now got to see it too.”
Taking to Instagram, Vera revealed she had decided to go back to assist health workers in A&E.

She said: “My name is Vera Ora and I’m a psychiatrist.
“I’m going back to work tomorrow – I work with mental health patients, however, due to the pressure on the NHS I will be asked to go to the frontline to help with A&E and other departments.
“It’s a very dangerous time and not everyone is being safe and staying at home and we are becoming overwhelmed with patients coming through and putting everyone at risk.”
