By Celebrities, they're just like us! Self-isolating in their cavernous houses, dancing up their marble stairs, pouring themselves a crystal tumbler of citrus-scented tequila and sauntering into the home cinema to wait for this all to blow over.
With Covid-19 forcing swathes of Europe and America into self-isolation and social distancing, even the beautiful and famous are being forced to stay inside. While it might be hard to sympathise with someone 'stuck' inside a bedroom that looks like a suite at the Four Seasons, we should be grateful that people with a large audience are encouraging their followers to self-isolate and practise social distancing.
