Alongside sister Ronnie, the character became iconic throughout her decade in Walford.

Viewers were devastated when the pair were killed off together in 2017.

Taking to Instagram, Rita, 8, shared that she was having her fillers dissolved.

The actress penned: “Going on a little journey with the wonderful @drhennessycosmetic ….

“I’m not one to pretend I don’t have a little tweakage..but I’ve really regretted having fillers over the years.

“They have built up over time and I was starting to resemble a pillow.

“So lovely @drhennessycosmetic started dissolving them last week and today we’ve done the last bit.”

Rita added: “Will update results when it all settles with some before and afters.

“I’m not adverse to fillers but I’ve definitely learnt you need to be super careful about over doing it!

“FYI in advance for the ‘you don’t need it’ comments…I know! That’s why it’s going!”

One follower commented: “You don’t need any work.

“You are lucky enough to be naturally beautiful and look good always.”

A second wrote: “Lovely and gorgeous Rita xx.”

Former EastEnders co-star John Partridge – who played Roxy’s BFF Christian – penned: “Fillers or not… always gorgeous.”

Rita joked back: “Ahhh! Well… I mean you should see me in the morning.”

Another fan asked: “Was the fillers just in your lips?”

To which Rita replied: “Lips and cheeks”, while adding an ‘X’ to the end.

Elsewhere, the star’s famous uncle has suggested how she could return to EastEnders.

Lord Alan Sugar, 78, who many know as the star of The Apprentice, is her uncle by marriage.

Rita recently shared a TikTok video of the pair jokingly discussing how she could possibly return to EastEnders.
