Rita, who played Roxy Mitchell on the popular BBC soap, has been open about her health journey in the past.

She noted that her scoliosis, a condition where the spine curves to the side, causes her significant discomfort during her daily activities and work.

By undergoing these surgeries, she hopes to find long-term relief and improve her posture.

The actress decided to pursue a breast reduction to help ease the strain on her back and neck.

She believes that reducing the weight on her chest will provide immediate benefits and complement the results of her spinal surgery.
