Soap fans remember Rita best as one half of the iconic Mitchell sisters. Alongside Samantha Womack, they comprised the formidable duo of Ronnie and Roxy.

EastEnders audiences were heartbroken when the pair were killed off in 2017 when they drowned together in a pool following Ronnie’s wedding to Jack Branning (Scott Maslen).

Rita later joined Hollyoaks as Marie Fielding, mother of fan-favourite Joel Dexter (Rory Douglas-Speed), evil rapist Abe Fielding (Tyler Conti) and young tearaway Arlo Fielding (Dan Hough).
