Michelle Keegan has been making the most of her downtime at home during the coronavirus lockdown and surprised her followers on Tuesday with her choice of activity – completing a jigsaw puzzle. The Our Girl actress reclined on a sun lounger in her back garden with her pet dog Phoebe, with a half-completed jigsaw on a tray at the end.
"My lockdown essentials," Michelle captioned the photo, adding dog and jigsaw emojis. The fact that the actress was completing a 1,000 puzzle called 'A Work of Art' surprised some of her followers, with one writing: "The fact that you've got a puzzle there just makes my day." Another wrote: "Loves a puzzle," to which Michelle replied: "I looooove a puzzle! Everyone's jumped on it and now they're sold out everywhere!"
