We aren’t the only ones climbing the walls in the times of quarantine, social distancing and self-isolation thanks to the Coronavirus. Can you even remember a time you didn’t even know what these terms truly meant, let alone uttered them?
Whilst you may have organised every cupboard in your house, painted the odd wall or taken up reading for the first time since school, celebrities have also been looking for new and inventive ways to pass the hours. Here are the weird skills and wonderful things celebrities have been up to…

Harry has revealed he is taking on isolation with “friends in a self-isolation pod,” and is passing the time committing to his skincare regime. Blessed be; the last thing we need is Harry emerging from quarantine looking anything less than perfect. “It’s a very strange time, we’re just being careful, listening to music, playing games and doing some face masks. The classic quarantine stuff,” the former One Direction star told Radio 1Xtra. As for the rest of the time? Well, Harry is trying out a new language. “I was learning Italian and I was doing some sign language classes,” the singer continued. Harry is so layered.

Cardi-B is not one to sit still for too long and to pass the time in self-isolation she is practicing her Jenga skills. In fact, she hasn’t stopped there to relieve the boredom, she took to Instagram to show her running full pelt into a Jenga Tower mid-game. It is a strangely satisfying watch.

Niche! The Terminator himself has been passing the time in quarantine and keeping up his social distance by not socialising with humans but instead, his four-legged pals, a pet horse and miniature donkeys, who go by the names of Whiskey and Lulu. Arnie took to social media to show the donkey coming to dinner and later revealed in a separate post he was passing the time by, ‘”Yeah I’ve been home, taking Jacuzzis, smoking a stogy, I just finished a bike ride and a bit of a workout, I just keep staying at home, away from the crowds and away from outside.”

As one fourth of Little Mix, Perrie Edwards knows her way around a good dance move. But whilst she is self-isolating with her boyfriend, Liverpool player, Alex Oxland- Chamberlain, she has been perfecting a new routine on Tik Tok. The pair certainly have some collective moves.
