Hitmaker Rita Ora has put her name down as an NHS volunteer, as she poured poured praise over her "superhero" mum for returning to the frontline in the fight against coronavirus.

Mum Vera Sahatciu is returning to her post as an NHS psychiatrist to help those struggling with their mental health during the pandemic and lockdown.

The Ritual singer told Hello! that her mum's return has made her a "superhero."

"She is so brave and has been through so much on her own," Rita said, "Yet her generosity to help others just cements what I know what my mother is capable of."

Rita added: "All the NHS doctors and nurses are my heroes."

Vera told the magazine that there was never a doubt in her mind that she would be returning - and that Rita and her sister would be joining.

She revealed that Rita and sister Elena would "deliver medical supplies, collect prescriptions, check on the elderly and make phone calls to lonely and vulnerable members of the community."

Meanwhile, Rita's been using her platform to help those struggling with their mental health during lockdown by encouraging one form of outdoor exercise a day.

Sharing a snap of herself taking in the sun, she wrote: "Once a day. For your brain and body."

She's also been urging fans to "play your part" by urging social distancing and staying at home to halt the spread of coronavirus.

Billie Eilish admitted she felt distressed at seeing so many people flouting the measures, while Ariana Grande poured scorn on the "incredibly selfish" people not taking the pandemic seriously.

Taylor Swift wrote: "I love you guys so much and need to express my concern that things aren't being taken seriously enough right now...I'm seeing lots of get-togethers and hangs and parties still happening.

"This is the time to cancel plans. Don't assume that because you don't feel sick that you aren't possibly passing something on to someone elderly or vulnerable to this."

Camila Cabello, meanwhile, insisted that "it's important to practice compassion and help others that could be suffering."

She added: "We are in this together, let's not be indifferent to others' risk."
