Brits are finding whole new ways of entertaining themselves, with many trying the new lockdown trends like they’re going out of fashion.
But how many have you ticked off your list?
Here’s our pick of the seven best lockdown trends to try while you’re stuck at home
1.
If you haven’t used FaceTime or Zoom for a virtual catch up with your friends, what have you been doing with your time?
While catch ups with the girls might have changed somewhat, staying in touch and keeping those valued friendships going has been keeping many of us sane.
Model Kelly Brook said it best as she shared a post to Instagram.
She re-posted a “Guide to the New Normal”.
It said the “old etiquette” was calling once a week for a catch up. The “new etiquette” is calling once a day to check in.
2.
Drink up!
With the days long and no chance of escaping to the pub, many of us have decided to pass the time with a chilled glass of wine.
Holly Willoughby proved she’s just like the rest of us when she admitted she hasn’t stopped drinking since lockdown was imposed.
Speaking on pal Keith Lemon’s podcast, she said: “I literally clock-watch and go: ‘Is it time to have an Aperol spritz yet?!'”
If you think that’s bad, I got so drunk last night I couldn’t even find my way home from the kitchen.

Holly added: “Trouble is, you’ve got your own bottle of wine and it’s not like you’ve got to go to the bar and get a drink or whatever.”
Trouble is, you’ve got your own bottle of wine and it’s not like you’ve got to go to the bar and get a drink or whatever.
She also revealed that she’d endured her “worst hangover of 2020” during lockdown.
We feel your pain, Holly!

PE was our worst lesson at school, but with exercise opportunities something of a rarity these days, fitness guru Joe Wicks has stepped in to help.
The Body Coach recently pledged to be the UK’s PE teacher, with daily live sessions.
Former Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh is just one of the stars who’ve taken part.
She credited Joe with keeping her “motivated” and shared a “slightly chaotic” workout video with sons Bobby and Cole.
