Lisa Faulkner shared a lovely photo at the weekend that showed her chilling out with her beloved dog.
But it wasn't quite as relaxing as it looked, as the actress and cook revealed that she is thinking about school starting up again next week and expecting life to get more stressful as a result.
The glam blonde uploaded a sweet picture that showed her sitting in a comfy chair outside, wearing her pyjamas and dressing gown and clutching her pet, Rory Gilmore, so that most of her face was obscured.

Explaining that this felt like the calm before the storm, the star went on: "It’s so lovely just being away and taking a deep breath before the madness of school starts and my anxiety levels go through the roof!
"So for now have a beautiful day my lovely followers! I think we make a pretty good and supportive team." Lisa's fans were quick to reassure the Weekend Kitchen presenter that they felt the same way.
