Sources tell me Joy is a powerful track about finding inner peace and is expected to be released in the coming days.
Rather than being on her upcoming fourth album, Joy will be a stand-alone song that will debut in a TV trailer for the dating show then drop on Spotify and Amazon Music.
A source said: 'It's no secret that Rita loves love so she jumped at the chance to record a track for Love Is Blind UK.
Joy is very much a mini side-project rather than being part of the new album.
'The song will be used on the show and be available to stream but there are no plans for a video or to send it to radio.'
Honestly, I don't know when Rita finds the time.

MARIAH CAREY glittered in front of thousands of fans in four different figure-hugging outfits as she hit the stage to headline Brighton Pride.
The American diva arrived in a shiny ombre dress and pink jacket, which featured the phrase 'protect the dolls' on the back, as she pledged her support to the trans community.
Later, during her 90-minute set, she changed into another dazzling minidress, as well as a gold shift and floor-length black gown.
Mariah told the crowd: 'The LGBTQ+ family, both as a community and as individuals have been here for me for so long. I just want you to know that I'll always, always be there for you.'

LOOKS like Cardi B is preparing to go fight or flight in this bird-themed feathered outfit.
The rapper looked ready for take-off as she entered the ring to kick off the opening night of the WWE Summerslam 2025 wrestling extravaganza in New Jersey on Saturday.
But rather than singing or fighting, Cardi was simply there to launch the event, teasing music from her upcoming second album Am I The Drama?
As she strutted to the ring, a new Cardi track was blasted through the stadium, sending fans into a meltdown online.
Her long-awaited follow-up to 2018's Invasion Of Privacy is out on September 19.
Hope it's worth the wait.
GAGA IN TRIBUTE TO OZZY

Lady Gaga reached out to Kelly Osbourne's family

DESPITE being in the middle of a world tour, Lady Gaga is finding time to support others.
I'm told she was so moved by the death of Ozzy Osbourne that she sent a huge bouquet to his grieving wife Sharon and the family.
The move is a full-circle moment for the two women after Sharon branded the hitmaker an attention-seeker in 2013.
That came after Gaga locked horns with her daughter Kelly Osbourne after she criticised the singer for not stopping to greet fans.
A source said: 'The flowers must have cost hundreds but Gaga wanted to reach out.
'Gaga has always been a huge fan of Ozzy and the Osbournes – before she was famous she even used to strip to Black Sabbath's Black Sabbath.
"She once told Ozzy – he found it hilarious.'
The kind gesture comes after Gaga closed her San Francisco show last month by belting out Ozzy's 1980 hit Crazy Train as a tribute.
CHAPPELL SLINKS IN

SHE'S one of the biggest stars on the planet, but Chappell Roan was able to slip into Oasis's latest London gig undetected.
The singer, who released new single The Subway last week, was seen in the crowd at Wembley on Saturday – singing away to the hits.
Frank Lampard and Nicole Appleton also snubbed a swanky suite to mix with regular fans.
OASIS fever is still sweeping the UK.
Yesterday the Y Not Festival in Derbyshire was forced to upgrade tribute act Noasis to the main stage.
They were due to play an 800-capacity slot but bosses had a rethink after more than double that number of guests saved the slot on their festival app.

YOU might think a stage musical about Princess Diana would be sad, yet The Diana Mixtape is anything but.
With five world-class drag queens from RuPaul's Drag Race playing the People's Princess while singing classics from Kylie, Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish, it's utterly joyous from start to finish.
The crowd at Outernet London lapped it up. A shout out also needs to go to Hear'Say's Noel Sullivan and actress Lucinda Lawrence, for their Charles and Camilla romp to Dua Lipa's Physical. Hilarious.
Greatest Showman star Keala Settle brought even more fun as Elizabeth II, but ultimately it was the queens who shone brightest.
It's on at Outernet until Sunday then The Lowry, Salford, from August 19-21.
OLIVIA RODRIGO's 2021 album Sour is still breaking records.
The release has become the first album on Spotify to have four songs with more than two billion streams each.
Traitor, Drivers License, Deja Vu and Good 4 U have all passed the milestone.
Not bad for an album the US star wrote when she was just 17.

The ‘curl & scrunch' trick Princess Andre swears by for gorgeous long waves with zero heat damage
SHE may be a nepo baby who grew up in the spotlight, but Princess Andre is now paving her own way. Just last week, she was crowned Tatler's second best-dressed star in Britain. Advertisement 4 Princess Andre has revealed her hair hack when perfecting the curl Credit: TikTok 4 She explained what the 'curl & scrunch' is Credit: TikTok 4 Princess also revealed how to do the curly hair trick without using heat Credit: Getty And it's not just fashion where she's making waves - the daughter of Peter Andre and Katie Price is also a beauty icon, with fans clamouring for her hair secrets. Princess has become known for her stunning, long, naturally curly hair, and the secret to her gorgeous locks is a simple, heat-free trick she recently shared on TikTok. For anyone wanting to achieve beautiful, bouncy waves without using a curling iron, her "curl & scrunch" method is a game-changer. The 18-year-old posted a step-by-step tutorial for her 882.9k followers, and the video has since gone viral with 1.2 million views and 53.6k likes. Advertisement The key to her routine isn't heat, but the right combination of products and a technique that enhances her natural curls. How to Get the Look The process starts with a good brush to ensure there are "absolutely no knots." Princess then sections her hair, clipping the top half out of the way to focus on the bottom. She makes sure each section is "soaked" with water before adding a "good amount" of curl cream. Advertisement "I feel like this is a really important step," she explains, "but always brush away from your face. I just feel like this defines the curls so much more." Trailer for the upcoming series of The Princess Diaries starring Princess Andre The magic truly happens with her signature two-step method: finger curling and scrunching. She precisely finger curls her hair to make the curls "so defined," then scrunches her hair, listening for that "squishy noise" that tells her the product is working. After repeating this on all sections, she scrunches her hair with a towel and then flips her head forward to add mousse or gel for extra hold. Advertisement Although she says she doesn't diffuse her hair until it's "fully dry," she does use a diffuser for a little bit before letting the rest air-dry. 4 Princess has also recently renewed a major beauty deal Credit: Instagram The result is her signature head of gorgeous, bouncy waves—all done with minimal heat. Fans flocked to the comments to praise her look, with one writing: "You've always had beautiful hair. Advertisement "Love this pretty girl." Another added: "Beautiful young woman. While a third simply commented: "Beautiful." Princess Andre has renewed her major beauty deal with Studio London for a second year. Advertisement Last year, she was announced as the face of the brand's affordable cosmetics line and will continue to work with them for another 12 months. An insider revealed: 'Princess has been a huge hit with Superdrug and they couldn't wait to snap her up again. 'She has such wide appeal and has already shown just how much she can do for the brand.'

Former Rolling Stones member claims US museum has stolen his guitar
The 1959 Gibson Les Paul was donated to the Met as part of what the New York museum calls 'a landmark gift of more than 500 of the finest guitars from the golden age of American guitar making'. The donor is Dirk Ziff, a billionaire investor and guitar collector. When the Met announced the gift in May, Taylor thought he recognised the guitar, with its distinctive 'starburst' finish, as an instrument he last saw in 1971, when the Stones were recording the album Exile on Main St at Keith Richards's rented villa in the south of France. In the haze of drugs and rock 'n' roll that pervaded the sessions, a number of instruments went missing, believed stolen. Now, Taylor and his team believe it has reappeared. The Met says provenance records show no evidence the guitar ever belonged to Taylor. 'This guitar has a long and well-documented history of ownership,' museum spokeswoman Ann Ballis said. Taylor's partner and business manager, Marlies Damming, said the Met should make the guitar 'available for inspection'. 'An independent guitar expert should be able to ascertain the guitar's provenance one way or the other,' she said in a statement to The Associated Press. While its ownership is contested, there is no disputing the instrument's starring role in rock history. Mick Jagger, Mick Taylor, Charlie Watts, Keith Richards and Bill Wyman of The Rolling Stones perform before a crowd of nearly 250,000 fans in Hyde Park, London in 1969 (Peter Kemp/AP) It was owned in the early 1960s by Keith Richards, who played it during the Rolling Stones' first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. The Met says that performance 'ignited interest in this legendary model'. The guitar – nicknamed the Keithburst – was also played by guitar legends Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. Taylor says he got it from Richards in 1967, two years before he joined the Stones, replacing original member Brian Jones, who died in 1969. Taylor left the band in 1974, reuniting with them for the Stones' 50th anniversary tour in 2012-2013. Jeff Allen, who was Taylor's manager and publicist for decades from the 1990s, said Taylor 'told me he got it as a present from Keith' and also mentioned the theft. 'Mick did tell me that the guitar solo that he became quite famous for, on Can't You Hear Me Knocking, was with the Les Paul that got stolen,' Allen said. The Met's records say the Les Paul was owned by Richards until 1971, when it was acquired by record producer and manager Adrian Miller who died in 2006. The guitar has changed hands several times since then, and reappeared twice in public. It was put up for auction by Christie's in 2004, when it failed to sell. Ziff bought it in 2016, and loaned it to the Met in 2019 for an exhibition titled Play it Loud: Instruments of Rock & Roll. It is unclear what will happen next. The Met, which plans to open a new gallery dedicated to its collection of American guitars, says it has not been contacted by Taylor or his representatives.
