Among her other inkings, Rita has a flower on her upper thigh and her mother Pandora’s name on her arm.
Rita recently released her latest single All Natural and has said she is planning a new album and tour for 2026.
Speaking to a Melbourne radio station, she said: ‘There’s definitely an album coming.
‘I’m really focused on this record and I’m coming out to tour – I haven’t toured an album since 2018.
‘My career has been so interesting. I’ve done film, TV, so kind of outwards. In the new year, I’m going inwards – to clean up shop and lead with intention.’
Her most recent record, You & I, was released in 2023.
It came after Rita won her bitter battle with neighbours over building an ‘eyesore’ gym in the sunken garden of her £7.5million mansion.
Her plans had sparked furious responses from locals who feared the state-of-the-art fitness facility would shatter their peaceful lives.

Rita has previously said she is ‘addicted’ to tattoos and has one of a girl blowing a flower on her waist

They accused Rita of destroying ‘the natural ecology in order to build a modern gym’ and feared the glazed bifold doors would mean it would ‘function more as a light and sound-emitting pavilion’.
An entire nearby block of flats jointly lodged a complaint opposing the build.
Their objection read: ‘Residents who chose this area for its tranquillity should not be forced to live with artificial lighting, amplified sound or loss of privacy.’
They added: ‘Although acoustic insulation is mentioned, the inclusion of bifold doors suggests that music and voice projection could occur at any hour.
‘The neighbouring property has a strict rule prohibiting large gatherings or parties, adopted precisely to preserve peace and respect among neighbours.
‘This proposal undermines that shared understanding and carries the potential to generate conflict, complaints and even legal disputes.’
They also claimed: ‘This proposal has been drafted (deliberately or not) with minimum impact to the owner but with apparent disregard for the multiple adverse effects on surrounding neighbours.’
