“I’m not going to the corner shop unless I have to.
“I have a microphone and mini-studio in my bedroom so am trying to stay creative and make music as that is the only thing I know how to do properly.”
Later on in the show Rita’s mum Vera opened up about she’s finding life in the NHS during the Covid-19 outbreak.

“I am trying not to think too much about it,” she explained.
“I am working full time and it is getting busier due to the pandemic.
“I am trying to focus as I have a team and I have patients that I look after.
“It is good to be busy and not to think about what is going on.”

Explaining how she specialises in mental health, Vera added: “I worked in mental health for many years.
“Recently I moved to community mental health serves which is with adults in the community and also on the wards. It has been very fulfilling for me.”
Rita, 29, recently revealed she has put herself forward as an NHS volunteer in a bid to help the nation tackle coronavirus.
Currently, the UK is on lockdown with the British Government asking people to remain indoors unless they have to make an emergency journey.
The lockdown is expected to last for many weeks to come as the government battle to flatten the curve in new cases to allow the NHS to cope.
